CAE Review Class 3- Time

Actualizado: 3 may 2020


In this class we're going to review the theme of time- something most of us had too little of yet suddenly we now maybe have too much! The grammar point we'll be reviewing is the uses of devices to provide distance between the speaker/writer and what they say. This will then neatly lead into a more formal piece of writing.


Vocabulary

Now it's time for the task.


Question You are reading your favourite newspaper and you come across a letter which attacks the education system in your country (or a country that you know well):

Yours sincerely
