HOMEWORK

Grammar Bank - p.139 - 5A

Remember that next day we'll be doing some activities about the book you had to read (Cold Feet by Rod Smith). However, this is not the only thing we will do. So, you can come to the class even if you haven't read it. I also asked you to think about your favourite book, and prepare a short oral review of it.
