Reminder to all students that you should now be revising for your speaking exam which will be straight after Christmas. You must learn answers for one topic off by heart and answers for the other topics in the speaking booklet.
Coursework – great results so far but I am still waiting for Omar, Victoria, Mercedes, Sharifa, Matthew, Tom R and Zane to hand in their remaining pieces asap!
