COMPOSITIONS
FYI: Remember to make a copy of the composition to keep it at home. Once the composition is corrected and I hand it out to you, it is your responsibility to check your copy of the composition and correct it, hand the original in and try to improve next time.
And from now on, what? Compare your compositions with a partner, check and try to avoid the mistakes you made. Revise the layout of every type of composition and the related vocabulary to try to use it in the future. And above all, exchange some compositions with your classmates to correct mistakes and compare.

COMPOSITIONS PROCEDURE
Please, do not ask me if I can correct your composition after the deadline. The answer will always be "NO" under any circumstances!
You can always write down the next composition.
I do not double-check compositions either. Once the composition is corrected, it is your responsibility to check the copy of your composition, give me the original corrected and try to improve next time. However, you can compare your composition with your classmates.
Remember that I prefer your compositions handwritten for your own interest.
After every composition I will make some comments in the classroom that you can download from the downloads section of your level.
VERY IMPORTANT: I will not mark any compositions which were partially or completely copied from the internet, articles , magazines, etc.

What else can I do?
Help with the oral exam. I recommend viewing some videos on Youtube by Marek Connel who explains to B2 students from the Official School of Languages how to speak about different topics. Get the link on Joepinetreebush/oral-assessment and on downloads. I recommend checking both, B1 and B2 level topics.
