THE PRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED

HI guys,

I really have to apologize with you. I was mistaken about the presentation. You DON´T HAVE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION NEXT WEEK, and I am truly sorry if you have been spending the little time you have on it. Anyway, there is an ORAL TEST next week. It´s going to be in pairs and it will be similar to the oral test you took last semester.

Additionally, as we are behind our program, we are going to do the oral test during the first hour and then, have a class during the second hour, as usual. Write back to me in case you have any doubts,

Best wishes,

Paula
