(20 points) Dear Ula, How are you? I didn‘t see you for ages. Yesterday I had bought my ticket to go to Berlin and I am very exciting. Will you still be in Germany at August? If you would be, I’ll come and visit you. I am very busy at the moment. I have taken on a new work to earn some extra cash. I am working like a waitress and my boss is Christof, which I think you know from our English school. I am thinking that my English is improving a little bit but I still need to practise more! Miss you our classes? I do! I will look up you when I arrive in Berlin and I really hope we can meet. Love Brigitta TURN OVER TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: LCTE7900 Page 4 1 EXAMPLE CORRECT FORM: It should be ‘I haven’t seen you for ages’ because we use the present perfect simple to talk about an indefinite time up to the present. This is a tense error. ....................................................................................................................................................................

(10 points) TURN OVER TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: LCTE7900 Language to go, Lesson 13 Upper Intermediate Why Britain suffers a kissing crisis It’s a dilemma for every British socialite – do you kiss the host or shake hands? One in four Britons fails to see the point of social kissing and continues to think it is embarrassing. Sixty per cent would choose to just shake hands, and one in three thinks that social kissing is about ‘pretending’ to be friendly. Just one in ten Britons positively approve of kissing a new acquaintance; many see it as ‘un-British’ and avoid touching at all if possible. Fifty-one per cent of us suggest kissing women is OK , but admit being suspicious of kissing between men, and most people would attempt to pull away if someone they did not know well tried to kiss them. They would also refuse to return an unexpected or unwanted kiss. As you might expect to find, in close relationships nearly all of us kiss our relatives and 80 per cent of us manage to kiss our closest friends. But, according to psychologist Oliver James, when we British kiss virtual strangers, it has nothing to do with wanting to spread a little happiness, and rarely has the genuine warmth of the Italians or the Spanish. In fact, people actually resent having to put up with physical contact. ‘When we go around kissing people we don’t know very well, we’re really just desperately attempting to get close. Remember to be careful: big kissers aren’t necessarily warm and giving- they may just be lonely.’ From Metro newspaper Language to go, Upper-Intermediate, Clare. A & Wilson.
