Week 25 Monday March 28th- April 2nd 2011

This week we only saw each other once due to the passage of the Cambridge Certification exam by those of you who are in the European section. In this lesson we started working on the film Billy Elliot. We watched the trailer to get a general idea then viewed the first part of the film itself. We saw that the film maker set the scene in the 1980s during Margaret Thatcher's term in office as the Conservative Prime Minister. Social disorder was rife and cut backs in the iron and steel industries as well as in mining were numerous. The story of Billy was told with this harsh background. You were asked to try to view the film during the holidays. Don't forget that next week you will be doing year exams and taking part in conferences on the theme of Health. In the group session we finished off your dialogues, which you read out once completed. The dialogue will be one of your options next week in your exam. WORK WELL THEN HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY!
