LISTENING TEST

Next Wednesday you will do a short listening test. The marks are important because, at the end of the year, the students who have several very good marks in each skill, don't have to do the final exam.  

El próximo  miércoles haréis un pequeño test de escucha. Las notas que recoja en clase de este tipo de tests son importantes para poder estar exento del examen final de junio. Quien tenga varias notas muy buenas en cada destreza no tendrá que hacer dicho examen.

Review File 2 and do the Revise&Check pages (26,27)
