In order to better prepare for your new topics, you must locate the vocabulary section on page 72 and page 73 of the textbook. You must learn all of this vocabulary (i.e. be able to recognise it in French and also spell it correctly in French). On Wednesday 5th January, you will have a test on 50 of the words from this double page (you will either have to translate the word from French into English, or from English into French). As we have discussed, it is hugely important for you to extend your vocabulary range and preparing vocabulary in adavnce of the new topics will make the reading and listening exercises much easier.
Good luck.
