Since practice is the best way to improve your English skills, doing some reading outside of the classroom is an excellent way to increase your chances of passing.

There are two levels of homework, for those who only do the minimum and for those who actually want to pass:

Basic – read three texts over the Easter break. These could be newspaper, magazine, or website articles. These cannot be videos, radio, or social networking / email messages. Write down the three that you read.

Higher – Do the above, write down the three texts you have read, and then include a few lines for each one saying:

o What you thought about the article, ie. Did you like it? Why?

o What impression the writer wanted to give?

o What facts did you learn from the article?
