Kompetenzerweiterung I (Tuesday/Thursday Group), Homework in Week Three (October 19-22)

In preparation of next Tuesday's session (10/26), please do the following:

Please complete the exercises (i.e. A-J) for Unit 5 that have been posted on Ilias and read through the grammar details for Unit 5. I have posted an answer key for these exercises to the Unit 5 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 Tuesday's session. 

Please read the file "Grammar for CAE Stative Verbs p 26" and complete all of the exercises on that page and complete exercises 1,2 and 3 (do 4 as well if you have time) in the file "Grammar for CAE Stative Verbs p 27" as well. You'll find the answers to these exercises on Ilias in the "Grammar for CAE and CPE Stative Verbs Answer Key" file (but please do the exercises BEFORE checking your answers!). 

In preparation of this Thursday's session (10/21) please do the following (I recommend you complete these exercises during "study hall", i.e. Thursday 9:45-11:15): 
Listen to the podcast featured at the top of this page and complete the following: 
a) at the beginning of the podcast, you'll hear a speaker of Indian English. Identify (some of) this English variety's key phonetic features.  
b) identify at least 10 words, expressions and/or collocations featured in the podcast (consult the "How to spot an art forgery" file on Ilias)
c) answer the following question: is art forgery less egregious than other crimes?
d) whether you write an essay this week or not, consider how you would answer the prompt below. 

If you are interested in (fine) art, I highly recommend the following YouTube channels: 



Optional essay assignment: In an essay of 250-350 words, answer the question, "Is authenticity overrated?" (I would encourage you to respond to this question not solely from an art perspective.) Make sure that your essay a) doesn't exceed the word limit, b) is sent as a MS Word document, and c) is submitted to my email address by Thursday, October 21th at midnight. Submissions that do not abide by these guidelines will not be read.
