TILL THE COWS COME HOME

Hi, everyone and Happy 2012! Let's hope this year we can hear news other than about the economic crisis and manage to make the world a better place than in 2011.
But now, let's go down to business.  I have just uploaded the material that was used for the oral test in the Pruebas de Certificación in 2009, 2010 and 2011. It has all been published on the Conselleria de Educación web and that's why I can include them on my blog. You see, not until Conselleria allows it can we make use of them in class or to prepare future exams.  Have you noticed I just wrote a sentence that includes inversion?  Anyway, I have also uploaded some information that students are given at the time of the exam. Remember that it is very important to be aware of what you are expected to do at the exam and how you are going to be assessed.
See you on Monday!
