These slides have been produced for the teacher to use when teaching synchronously.
Tell students about online dictionaries so that they can use them to check not only the meaning of words but also how English works. For example in Reading Parts 5 & 6.
Tell students that you will share with them different links so that they can practise further for these papers. This slide has suggestions for the activities that are 100% reading comprehension.
Here are some links to practise grammar and vocabulary, which is the main testing focus of Parts 5 & 6.
