Trabajo de verano

Curso: 4ºESO
Asignatura: INGLÉS No Bilingüe
Profesor: Adolfo Robles Jiménez
Trabajo de verano 4º ESO
Estimados alumnos: Aquí os presentamos las actividades que debéis realizar
durante el verano los alumnos que hayáis suspendido el curso que os corresponda. Los
materiales que aquí incluimos HAN DE ENTREGARSE CUANDO SE VENGA A HACER EL
EXAMEN DE SEPTIEMBRE. No podríais hacer el examen si no las traéis. Tened en
cuenta también, que ENTREGAR LAS ACTIVIDADES NO SUPONE NINGÚN AUMENTO A
VUESTRA NOTA FINAL de septiembre, son obligatorias para realizar el examen pero no
llevan nota. Así se contempla en nuestra programación del Departamento.

Para facilitaros la tarea, adjuntamos hojas o documentos con las respuestas.


NO COPIÉIS: no tiene sentido; mirad las respuestas una vez hecho el ejercicio. La idea
de poner las respuestas es para que vayáis viendo si vais mejorando y vuestro
progreso. Sería bueno que las corrigierais con un boli rojo después de hacerlas.

Hay algo que deberéis hacer por vuestra cuenta: las redacciones deberán ser
revisadas por una persona que os pueda ayudar; además, debéis utilizar el diccionario
tanto como sea necesario para hacer estas actividades. Podéis consultar también las
páginas web recomendadas, las que conozcáis que tengan ejercicios de vuestro nivel
con respuestas, o las de vuestros libros de texto para ampliación.

Para superar la asignatura, deberéis aprobar el examen en la convocatoria de


septiembre con al menos 50 puntos sobre 100, repartidos de la siguiente manera::
READING (20puntos) y WRITING (80puntos: Gramática 45, vocabulario 15 y redacción
20) . No se puede dejar ninguno de estos cuatro apartados en blanco.

Un saludo a todos. Buen verano.
