Reading test revisited

Many of you had trouble with the reading part of the test. 

(Question: How many of you did use a dictionary during the test??)

To help you prepare for a reading test in Testweek 2 and the 'real' test in SE-I & we try one of the texts again. 

Work in teams or groups of 3/4 students on Tekst 4: 

Global warming hotheads would burn sceptics at the stake.

(I will hand out your test results after this assignment!)

Reading test revisited: how?

First: answer questions 12 - 16 by yourself. 

• Mark important parts of the text (underlining or other)
• Look up words you don't know.

Then: Compare answers with your partner(s).

Try to convince each other that you are right. 

Don't waste your time. 

You have 15 minutes to work & compare, before I give the correct answers.
