Watch the video & do: 

1. Watch 1 of the 2 videos on how to do part 7 of the CAE reading.
2. Take notes while watching: what are the tips he gives you?
3. Then turn to part 7 of the practice reading and do the following:

• Do some research on the title: Scottish Wildcat. What are you going to read about.
• Summarize the 7 parts A-G in 1 sentence each (often done by taking the 1st and last sentences) & look up words in a dictionary that you need for this.
• Then put them in the order you think they should go, without looking at the text.
• Now turn to the text and try to figure out which paragraph goes where.
• Have it done by next week. Don't forget to highlight those parts of the text you used to find the answers.
