checking out the level for the National Test

Good afternoon everyone.

On Wednesday it will be Linn and Malin who are taking us through chapters 12 to 14 of "Girl Missing".

Last Wednesday most students could answer the text questions but there are still a a lot of gaps with the words.

Talking of words that's one thing we are going to look at today.

We are going to two listening exercises and one reading to practise the level of the National test

Always check the words. Most words are ok but words like bring, get and take can mean so many different things.
Look at the first example in:
"What's it all about?"
Bring up- in Sweden it can mean:
"ta upp" "väcka" " spy" "fostra/uppfostra"

How about "Bring it on"

Here are some examples:

Bring something about – cause it to happen

Bring someone round – make him conscious again

Bring up – a) raise a child; b) cause something to be considered; c) vomit

Bring down – cause to be lower

Bring off – cause to be successful; succeed in an attempt

Bring on – lead to; help to produce

Bring out – cause to appear clearly

Bring somebody round to (one’s opinion) – cause or persuade him to accept it or agree with it

Bring out – publish

Bring in – introduce
