Practising for the exam

These are some exercises for you. Start with the grammar, click in the centre of the bubble and it will take you to a review of the grammar from the first two units.
Next, do the reading comprehension that consists of two parts (a "matching" to review vocabulary and "a filling the gaps" exercise). It is important to do these exercises previously to get to understand the listening.

Reading While Listening



A form of reading that has been receiving a lot of attention from language teachers and researchers is reading while simultaneously listening. You can build not only your vocabulary but you can see how words are written and pronounced, increasing your listening comprehension, as well as your pronunciation and intonation.
I have come across this website and this one,where you can practise these skills. The first is full of simple stories with some exercises at the end if you want to check your understanding. The second has videos and listenings with subtitles. So stop making excuses and let's get to listen.
