Test II (description)

Dear Sirs & Madammes,

It seems we are finally having our second test on Friday 20th, that is, in a week's time. We have discussed about its format and agreed to structure 4 parts as follows:

I.- Literary Terms - Prose. You will be asked to provide the definition of a few terms and then you'll have to exemplify those terms by taking extracts from a given text by a British author.
II.- Answer questions about the contents we have studied in this second part of the term. Your answers must be brief but analytical and you must provide examples, where possible, referring to the texts we have studied in class.
III.- Short Stories. You will be given extracts from some of the short stories we have read and analysed in the course. You will be expected to remember and provide some basic elements of the story.
IV.- You will be expected to discuss briefly on the relevance of one of the excerpts in part III. This excerpt will be selected by your teachers.

As you can see, nothing you can't deal with. Tests and their results are never a matter of luck so: get ready. See you on Friday!
