It may seem unnecessary to make notes during a lesson, particularly when there is alot of conversation ~ but in any lesson there are points which you'll forget unless you write them down: getting things on paper can help fix them in your mind, The chances are that if you haven't taken any notes during @ lesson, you won't have gained very much from it, b Many students write down everything their teacher writes on the board: this is generally a good idea, although remember not everything on the board will be useful ~ and your teacher may not write much ‘up during a lesson! It's a good idea to note down new vocabulary and grammar explanations if you don’t know them already, but don't waste time copying things you already know ¢ The way to get the most out of your lessons isto be active, whether by asking questions, working things out for yourself ar by taking notes on things you think could be useful. When you come to look back fon what you've learned, at the end of your course or before an exam, notes will be necessary as a record which you can refer to. Different people will find different things useful during a lesson, _ Writing your notes on a loose plece of paper is the best way to lose them - buy a notebook ora file so you can keep all your notes together.

He did the lottery every week but never bought the winning ticket like the people he saw on the television news and in the newspapers. He dreamt of making a fortune but his dreams never came true until he met Cynthia Palmer who worked for ‘a modelling agency in New York. Cynthia came into Mark's hamburger restaurant one evening and immediately noticed his good looks. ‘I could make you a star,’ she told him and he agreed to go with her to New York. ‘Mark did his first modelling job and became an overnight sensation with the public and the media. After his first photos became known, people stopped hhim in the street (0 ask for his autograph, which he always gave. ‘Within months, he was the centre of media attention with everything he did and everything he safd reported in newspapers and magazines around the world. He was so much in the public eye that he couldn’t leave his house without being followed by the paparazzi. That was when he started to hate the loss of privacy and felt like retuming to the obscurity of the hamburger restaurant. ‘nally, instead of wanting to make a lot of money, losing his fortune was all he could dream of. 172 card 3 card 4 @ asibclate «story > with watches € association ¢ well 4 (wedding) anniversary help card 5 cara 6 a with a clrious b upto curity ato with card 7 cara 8 a respartse a eximated b respohd b elimate card 9 Card 10 @ days, fiends aout website b up ¢ friends € through 4 pursuits, activities dup tom eto 12A Reporting a crime persuade/urge blame threaten suggest assure 10 order (refuse) 11 Insistideny 12 congratulate Test one (modules 1-4) A L have known; were 3 are taking; improves, 5 arrived; had left B 1 wants to show me his new computer 2. when James. iscoming back 3 never have enough money 4 who were you talking to 5S quite a pleasant young 2had been driving: saw 4 woke up; was knocking 6 hasn't rained; arrived man 6 is usually home early enough c underpaid 2 precooked 3 anti-government 4rewrite Ssselfawore 6 postgraduate Tnonsmoking 8 oversleep D 1 feel Zhaving 3 get back 4 to disturb Sclicking 6 not toworry 7 revising 8 be joking Sending 10 being followed E (haifa mark each) Boo confident embarrassing sensitive ridiculous practical intelligence government dependable involvement 99 @o operation impression sympathetic aggressive
