FEEDBACK

1) All units corresponding to PT3 (7-8-9-10) were reviewed.

2) Listening Comprehension B: nro.5 I wrote “gets” instead of “buys” so as not to repeat the same

word appearing in the script.

3) First Reading Comprehension: I wrote “always” instead of “usually” in nro. 4 to avoid confusion.

4) Unscramble the sent.: In nro. 2 I added “10 a.m.” to make the question more similar to the

statements appearing in the Student’s Book.
