Guidelines for final oral test

Hello everyone,

- Work in pairs
- Prepare a short presentation (3-5 minutes)
- Topic: Tips to improve English
- Include words with all the sounds seen throughout the quarter.
- Underline 5 words with each of the sounds and write the phonetic symbol under it.
Example: This 
                  / s / 
- Hand in a written document (typed, times new roman, 12)
- Include a cover page.
- Try to use your own words, avoid over use of Internet sources, so that all groups don't end up saying  the exact same words.
- No Power Point presentation needed.
