Engels beroepsspecifiek

Week 21

(Les 3 van P4)

Welcome

Today

What about today's English class?

1. Progress test

2. English exam 'beroepsspecifiek'

3. Writing a formal e-mail

4. Test your basic grammar (TOA)

Progress test (reading)

Most of you passed the progress test, well done.

I am afraid I can't give you the test back but if you would like some feedback, I can give it to you.

If you need to do a resit or you missed the test, there will be an opportunity to take the test in week 10 of P4.

If it's possible to schedule this test a bit earlier, we can discuss this. But it won't be possible during English class.

Please note that in case you missed the test, this was your first chance. You will only have one chance left. For further questions, please ask after English class or send me a message.
