Kompetenzerweiterung I (Monday Group), Homework for October 16th

Welcome to the course! 

In preparation of next Monday's session (10/16), please do the following:

Purchase the textbook (Destination C1 & C2 with key, ISBN 978-3190629558) and bring it with you to each class session as soon as you get it.

Please complete the exercises (i.e. A-J) for Unit 1 that have been posted on ILU and read through the grammar details for Unit 1. I have posted an answer key for these exercises to the Unit 1 folder and would like you to consult this key to check your work AFTER you have given the exercises a go on your own. Bring any questions you have regarding rules/these solutions with you to next Monday's session. 

Since we are working with present perfect in Unit 1, it is essential that you review the irregular past participles for irregular verbs in English. This list is not included in the book, so I encourage you to consult previous texts you've used or use this list available here: https://speakspeak.com/resources/vocabulary-general-english/english-irregular-verbs

Bring in a concrete goal you'd like to achieve this semester which is a specific as possible (i.e. instead of "improve my vocabulary" make it "100 new (phrasal) verbs").

Read/skim the remaining responses in the file "best sense other responses" on ILU and: 

a) decide which response you find most compelling (be able to share with the group why)

b) identify specifically British English spellings/phrasings used in the texts

c) identify 10 words that are new to you/that you know you don't use in your active vocabulary and would like to incorporate into your active use

d) identify other collocations for "sense"

 

We will be writing an essay in next week's class (from 12:00-13:00, to be exact), so please bring writing utensils and paper with you.
