Practice makes Perfect

Some of these exercises have been created by students of the school (all those in green/pink are by you) to provide practice for their fellow students. If no key is posted, it means no key was produced by the students. Please send me your work for correcting and it will serve as a key. If you have read a particularly interesting article or heard a particularly interesting programme available online, please try to create your own exercise and send it to me for posting on the site. Please remember that materials not available online cannot be posted for copyright reasons.

Unfortunately, since creating the exercises, some of the reading texts are no longer available online. To do these exercises you will have to go to CIAL to do the exercises with a hard copy of the text or email me for a copy.

Don't forget to check out the class worksheets, too. For a list of the materials in CIAL go to the Materials page
