THE TEST

Hello everyone!

As the end of the course has come, you will have to take a test in order to assess your learning, once you have finished tasks 16,17 and 18. You will have to record yourself introducing yourself again using some of the strategies you have learnt. 

Before recording yourself, here you have a piece of advice: have a look at the entry SPOKEN DISCOURSE. It will help you to improve your performance.

Deadline: 5th August.

Regards,

Sara
