REMINDER: Wednesday at 10 o’clock (probably five minutes before that) I will email you the second writing test and the  answer sheet where you should write your answers. The procedure will be the same as the one adopted for the first writing test.

Download both the test questions and the answer sheet onto your computer and  save the answer sheet as a Word document under your name before you start working.

The second writing test will have three parts:

Question 1 – about the short stories (“Tony’s Story” by Leslie Marmon Silko, “The Guilt” by Rayda Jacobs, and “Good Advice Is Rarer Than Rubies” by Salman Rushdie)

Question 2 – about The TED talks (Surviving disappearance, re-imagining and humanizing Native People (Matika Wilbur); My life in Apartheid South Africa (Tobie Openshaw); Mad at Mandela (Sisonke Msimang); How to make peace? Get angry (Kailash Satyarthi, Nobel laureate); Fighting forced marriages and honour based abuse (Jasvinder Sanghera) and the articles (“Bears Ears is sacred Native American. But heritage isn’t all equal for Trump”; “Soweto – Journey to freedom”; “South Africa unease plays out on campus”; “India’s caste system is alive and kicking – and maiming and killing”; “Child marriage in India finally meets its match as young brides turn to courts”)

Question 3 – a letter to the Editor (please go through the guidelines on pages 33-35 again)

You have two hours to do the test (from 10:00h to 12:00).

Read through the instructions carefully to make sure you understand what you have to do.

I will be available by email during the test to clear any doubts you may have. I will reply to you as soon as possible.

You must send your answers by email (saved as a Word file) 15 minutes after 12:00 at the latest. 

Tests submitted later than the appointed time shall not be marked, and the student will get a zero out of 20.

For practical reasons, could you please follow the following rules when you send your answer sheet:

1. Send a new email - do not reply to this email; it is very difficult to find emails in an email chain

 2. In the subject line please write B2.1 Second Test and your name 

 On a different note, about your oral presentations starting on 27^th April, please do not hesitate to email me to clear any doubts you may have.
