Homework for Dec 10, 2007
You need practice for your test/your Abitur:
> to get the relevant information out of the text quickly,
> to organize the points of information logically
> to write your answer in your own words and in correct English.
1) You have read the text A Political Debate by Jeffrey Archer (Britain and America, pp. 198 ff.)
2) Answer two questions on the text on p. 200. You can choose the questions you like best.
Advice on how to do it:
Step 1: pick out the relevant information from the text
Step 2: order the information in a convincing structure
Step 3: write a rough copy of your answer
Step 4: proof-read your text:
content structure: does it make sense?
vocabulary: look up words you are not sure about (exact meaning, spelling, how to use them)
grammar: endings, apostrophes, commas
