Correction for your test

Hey,

today we began to talk about the correction of your mock exam that you did NOT succeed at all!

There are some simple tricks about methods that you don't master yet! You need to try and make hypotheses about what the text means even when you don't understand EVERY single word.

Try to highlight everything that's important about the typical WH- questions and remember the historical context: 

WHO -> characters
WHERE -> place
WHEN -> time / date -> 1991 (published 1 year before the end of Apartheid)
WHAT -> actions
HOW -> feelings / reactions / attitudes / behaviours

Know the translation for the main questions:

PICK OUT FROM THE TEXT = QUOTE --> QUOTATION
ANSWER AND JUSTIFY IN YOUR OWN WORDS

Try to make a connection between the different elements in the text (why this reaction? why some pauses"---" in the speech? why a bomb? who died? why TV? what happened before? what will happen next?)

It's only this way that you will make progress! As for how to improve the writing part, we'll see about it next time.

HW: you need to complete a matching exercise about feelings.
