34 preguntas para responder

Hola,

comenzando el 2do cuatrimestre les acercamos un cuestionario con 34 para responder. Algunas son capciosas, lo que lo hace un poco más entretenido. Ante cualquier duda, no duden en consultar con sus profesores.

EJERCICIO (incluye respuestas)

Total English - Revisión de todas las Unidades

Hola a todos!

El cuatrimestre ya está finalizando, y queremos que el proceso de exámenes sea un tiempo de evaluación objetivo y a la vez personal. Objetivo, cuando todos ustedes alumnos rinden sus exámenenes en los que se evalúa el progreso y los contenidos adquiridos. Y personal, cuando son ustedes mismos quienes miden y ven su propio progreso. Es por eso que hoy les acercamos un examen unidad por unidad, para que hagan una evaluación personal antes del examen. Pero... es importante que NO los realicen como un ejercicio más, sino como el resultado del estudio previo. Hagan los ejercicios del Workbook, trabajen con el CD-ROM -tiene muy buena ejercitación y explicaciones claras y concisas-. Y recién después, realicen estos "exámenes" de práctica.
Que les resulte de utilidad y que los exámenes finales sean un tiempo de cosechar el trabajo del cuatrimestre.

Unidad 7 -examen y respuestas-
Unidad 8 -examen y respuestas-
Unidad 9 -examen y respuestas-
Unidad 10 -examen y respuestas- (Esta unidad no será evaluada en el examen final)
Unidad 11 -examen y respuestas-
