Language Day · Monday March 19, 2007 by Lily
This morning, we continued with the Adult Literacy papers I bought from CGP. I hope the actual exam he’ll do on Thursday will be similar as he’s doing OK with these. His main problems are judging the tone of a piece of writing and, not surprisingly, spotting spelling mistakes. He’s not too thrilled to have to do this exam as he’ll be taking GCSE English next year so can’t see the point. I expect it is probably to throw up learning difficulties as much as anything.
Ds then looked over his French for his lesson without being prompted to do so, so far so good.
We had lunch and the men set off again for Manchester via Bolton to see some buses and on to French for 6.00pm start.
I snatched some time this afternoon to send some outstanding emails and book a ferry crossing to France for the summer. We are going to stay in the house of a relative by marriage for a few days.
August is looking fully booked and will take some careful planning to get from A to B with the requisite bag of appropriate clean clothes. Ds is going to spend 4 days on Brownsea Island for the Centenary of Scouting, with a friend, then we go immediately to France and immediately after he’s been invited to go to Ireland with his friend’s family.
I also fitted in a couple of phone calls.
