SUMMER ENGLISH FILE

Virginia Pardo / Montse Oromí

Aquest dossier és perquè milloris el teu anglès aquest estiu. És obligatori si no has aprovat l’assignatura. T’hauries de planificar aquesta feina perquè ho puguis fer durant tot l’estiu. Ho pots fer a mà o bé amb l’ordinador, però s’ha de lliurar en paper al professor o professora. Recomanacions:

1. Si no entens les instruccions en anglès et recomanem que facis servir un traductor o un diccionari per comprendre bé el que se’t demana.

2. Recorda que a la pàgina 82 trobaras una llista de vocabulari (Glossary pages) i a la página 92 tens resums gramaticals en català (grammar appendix). Mira’t aquestes pàgines abans de fer els exercicis.
