Test Practice

 Hi Fau Bloggers!

The aim of English 4 is to reach the English Level of B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This is the most complete and exhaustive study of language competence ever mapped out. It was launched in 2001 in connection to various European languages but has it origins in a document on the English Language published in 1975.


This is what a B1 learner can do in terms of range - how big a vocabulary you how much grammar have, accuracy - in terms of grammatical control,  fluency - how naturally you speak, interaction - the ability to engage in conversation, coherence - whether you effectively communicate your message.

In 2 weeks we have our final written and oral tests. 
The oral test is a short conversation in pairs. 
The written test is based on activities found in a well known B1 test. 

Today I'd like you to carry out practice activities in preparation for your written test, specifically the listening and reading sections:

Do ALL notes & multiple choice sections

Then the readings below

Write a short post (50 - 100 words) about how difficult/easy you found the activities.

Leave a comment on my blog and on the blogs of at least 3 classmates.

Welcome to your English Blog class. Today you have to create your blog, link your classmates and write a short post about yourself (no personal details!!!). Finally, you need to leave a short comment on my blog. So, my name is Simon and I'm your English Teacher this semester. I'm British. I was born in Wales, but form the age of 6 I lived in England. My family on my mother's side is Irish so I'm a bit of a mix. I have 5 sisters and 3 brothers who all live in the UK except for my brother Adrian who lives in New Zealand. I've lived in Chile since 1998 but spent 2019 to 2022 in China.. I'm married to a Chilean and we have two cats - Goku & Aiko. My hobbies are playing football and making music. My hopes and dreams include releasing more music (I've released 5 albums and 2 maxi singles so far this year - check them out on Spotify!!!!) and travelling.

A Job

 Good Morning Blogheads! Today I'd like you to write about a job you'd like to do. Actually, I'd done a lot of jobs in my time. When I was a young boy I did several part time jobs. I did a paper round, then I worked in a Butcher's shop cleaning dirty refrigerators and finally I worked in a Clothes' Shop selling jeans. My first full-time job was as a Laboratory Assistant and 3-months later I was promoted to Laboratory Technician (Wow!!). Since then I've worked running a rehearsal studio, as a photographer, a photographer's assistant, a DJ, a lorry driver's assistant, a waiter, a musician, a warehouse technician, a barman, a Language Learning Centre assistant, a Course Director, a summer school teacher, a High School teacher, an examiner and no doubt some other things that I can't remember at the moment. However, I think the job I would like to do most is to be a free-lance music producer. I love to work with music and creating new things in the studio

A Little Bit of Chile

Hi FAU Bloggers, As you might have guessed by now, I'm what's known in good Chilean as "pati-peri." However, aside from having been lucky enough to visit some amazing countries in my long life, I have also visited some amazing places in Chile. I travelled Chile from Arica to Aysen so I still have a third of the teritory left to discover. Today I'm going to write about a place in Chile I really enjoyed visiting and that I'd like to visit again: Malalcahuello.  I visited Malalcahuello in 2007 when one of my sisters was visiting from the UK. My sister arrive towards the end of February.  A few days after she arrived, and along with my wife, we decided to embark on a spontaneous road trip south. We packed up a tent and all our camping gear and headed South. We spent a night in Chanco, a couple of nights in Cobquecura and a night in Curacautin before arriving in Malalcuhuello. By this time my wife was tired of driving and wanted a holiday so we decided to stay a fe
