2BAC. Ebau drill: Models 1-4 (June 5)

Dear students,

Here you have an important notice about EBAU modifications for exams. As I told you: more flexibility, in our case, is not for free, as there will discount marks for your mistakes. Therefore, think your answers carefully and double-check your compositions. Morever, remember the tips: use paragraphs, check punctuation, include phrasal verbs, mind lexical precision, etc.

My plan from now on is for you to do 2 models of exams per week. We have 2 weeks ahead until 5th June now, so start with these 4 exams (sent via email). There is a total of 10. I want to know about the way you think it will be better to correct them. I can send you the answers and then you reflect on your mistakes, keeping a diary of things to revise for example.

As usual, I will propose some structures for a bonus, to be used on our compositions. M stands for Model. If you don't take the EBAU exam for English, just 2 out of 4.

• M1= not only... but also... PRACTICE: https://www.grammar-quizzes.com/pop-quesarchive2012/pop-question-notonlybut.html
• M2= the more... the more... (comparative construction) PRACTICE: https://www.grammar-quizzes.com/themore.html
• M3= so + such PRACTICE: https://www.grammar-quizzes.com/8-8.html
• M4= both... and...PRACTICE: https://www.grammar-quizzes.com/conj-paired.html

In principle, on June 5th you will get the answers for these 4 exams and more models for you to practice. If you need them before, I'm happy to share them with you.

Best wishes!!!

Humberto
