Dear students!

This semester we cover units 8 to 15 from Intelligent Business Upper Intermediate. To finish English I/2 successfully and obtain credits, you will need to:

• be present 80% of the time, meaning you can miss 4 lessons for no reason (any more and you have to bring an official note - from a doctor or a sports event organizer etc. - to the study department). People who miss 5 or 6 lessons without proper apology, will receive extra work. People who miss more than 6 lessons will not be allowed to write the test.
• be active in the lessons and do your homeworks.
• present a product or company in class.
• obtain at least 60 points in the credit test (taking place on 20 May).

Key for the prepositions I gave you in the lesson and key to Review 5 (in the book): 

As a seminar work this semester you will create and perform a five-minute presentation about a product or a company (real or fictional).

Your presentation will include:

• the performance itself,
• a powerpoint presentation to visually accompany your talk (bring it on a portable device, there will be a notebook we will use for all presentations),
• a quiz on the subject of your presentation, including 3 - 5 questions about important things you mentioned (to be given at the end, after Q&A), on a handout that you will distribute to your audience.

To create and perform a good presentation, you can think of the points we mentioned in the lesson, or use some useful hints from the document below.
