Good Morning. First, playing pairs with the flash cards. One person puts their set word up, the other person puts their set word down and you take it in turns to find the pairs

without turning them over to check first. If you get a pair wrong you put it back and no one is allowed to touch it for

three goes.

Tests BackKey improvements are: - Always give a piece of evidence and explain

how it proves your point I you make a point. - Be careful with points on formality – a lot of

people made the point but couldn’t explain clearly why it was formal/informal.

- With graphological points, make sure you make a point about the graphology as every written text has graphological features – you are picking out certain ones for a certain reason.

Write down the grade that you got, the grade that you are aiming for and your target for how to improve – put it on the red sheet and don’t lose it!

What did you come up with?

• What could you have talked about in this answer?

Preferably with someone else, try to get up to 10 possible groupings.

Having a look at a good exam answer…

1. Come up with three reasons and examples for why it is good (use the examiner’s comments if that helps).

2. What could be improved?3. In the light of this, what do you think you

could improve?

Which is the odd one out? (extra point for why) Come up with three different combinations and reasons.

Come up with as many ways to group these

adverts as possible (at least 5)

A conversation between two students in a classroom before school.A: Have you done it?B: What?A: The er homework.B: Wh when was it due?A: Today stupid. (2)B: Wha was it?

Use these texts to practice grouping. Write out an essay plan with groupings and the specific examples you would use. You are not allowed to use formality/ informality. (30 mins)

Groupings triangle

From the homework that you did with the questionnaire, what do you need to work on?

Discourse – what can you remember about it?

Mr Kobayashi wetted each burger before stuffing it into his mouth. After two minutes, he has consumed 23, leading Joey Chestnut, America’s great hope by one.

In Chattanooga, Tenesse, last November I watched Takeru Kabayashi devour a record 97 hamburgers with buns, onions and mustard in eight minutes flat – one every five second. It was a repulsive, riveting and astounding feat.

Participants in the annual World Hamburger Eating Championships had sought to persuade me that competitive eating was a sport requiring extraordinary physical ability and mental toughness.

Finally the buzzer sounded. Me Chestnut had devoured 91-21 more than the world record but six fewer than Mr Kobayashi. ‘Awesome’, muttered my neighbour.

I felt sure that they would vomit, but they kept going – each bun a triumph of mind over rebellious body.

I was deeply sceptical until I watched the baby-faced wisp from Japan in action. The 13 ‘gurgitators’ lined up, the MC counted down, and they were off – a blur of flying hands, bobbing heads and gaping gullets.

Within five minutes both had smashed the previous record of 69, and the 3000 spectators were roaring.

Put these bits of the article in the right order. While you’re doing it, think about what is helping you to work out which bit goes where.

Despite the fall, the government said it recognised that inflation remained high. "These are difficult times for households as prices continue to be affected by conditions in the global oil and gas markets," said a Treasury spokesperson.
