**Exam Simulation One**
We did this first simulation today without a monolingual dictionary. In the real test you may use an English/English dictionary. (For more general information on dictionaries go to this page and look at the section "Dictionaries" ) Look at the answer sheet below to see how it would be evaluated. (The answer to Part B is only a suggested answer)

=Lesson Five= This morning we looked at how to use linkwords of contrast and then used them to write a discussion essay: "Celebrity scandals in the press: should they be banned?" Write your opinion giving reasons for and against this statement. (Minimum 10 lines, maximum 15 lines)
 * Look at this document to help you with the link words:**

E-Learning
During the weekend it's nice to relax with your ipod or mp3 player. Why don't you use this time to do a bit of stress free English. There are a lot of good sites where you can download podcasts from to do this. See the [|BBC World Service], for example. This link will take you to the "podcast" page. You can then go World Service. Look at 6 Minute English, for example. You can also use the [|BBC learning English section]for "lessons from the news". Jing also suggested these 2 sites with [|podcasts with texts]to read as you listen, and short, fun videos at the [|English café](She said she listens to podcasts when she is on her bike :-)) This link is to a site with useful [|podcasts for Economics students]. There are also interesting podcasts from [|The Economist]site.

If you want to use online worksheets and lessons from the news you can also go to The [|Guardian learning English]section. There are articles to read and excercises to do.
