Classi Seconde compiti estivi

Classi seconde. Anno scolastico 2011-2012 – ENGLISH SUMMER HOMEWORK
• Esercizi da fare nel periodo giugno-agosto
Utilizzando il computer sul sito www.adelescorner.org puoi fare un proficuo ripasso autocorrettivo.
Tutti gli esercizi sono adatti alle classi 2^ tranne gli argomenti di grammaticali che non hai ancora affrontato
(comparative, superlative, future). In questo sito sfrutta anche gli esercizi di listening, reading e vocabulary.
1) Per il ripasso lessicale utilizza anche il Cd-rom. Fai tutti gli esercizi delle seguenti sezioni:
Level 1 : Houses and Flats, Jobs
Level 2 : Shops, Outdoor activities, On holiday, Sports, Hobbies, Clothing
Level 3 : Food, animals
Ripassa velocemente Level 1 : Family ties, School, Daily routine, From head to foot;
2) leggere i racconti sul Cdrom Level 1 e "Treasure Island" level 2 è un buon esercizio ma troverai alcune parole
che non conosci. Aiutati con le immagini e cerca di usare un dizionario per le parole evidenziate.
3) A fine estate. Prima di tornare a scuola, riascolta e ripeti tutti i dialoghi delle unità 9-16.
Poi ripassa sul tuo quaderno o sul libro tutte le strutture grammaticali che hai studiato in seconda.
4) Close Up - Workbook: ripeti gli esercizi solo oralmente ascoltando il Cd e rispondendo ad alta voce alle
domande dello speaker come in una conversazione (leggi istruzioni su Close Up 1, pag. 147 es. 5B):

ma prendi appunti sul tuo quaderno.

vacanza estiva. Portalo a scuola il primo giorno, scritto in bella da consegnare alla prof.
