TIPS FOR FINAL EXAMS

Find below an article written by Saro Rosales, giving advice for the speaking exam. 

"The oral exam is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your knowledge, your speaking skills, as well as your ability to communicate. 

Before the exam:

• Practise working with classmates or in front of a mirror, to evaluate yourself. 
• Maintain your self-confidence and composure. If you find yourself anxious, take several slow, deep breaths to relax. 
• Don't talk about the test to other students just before entering the room: their anxiety can be contagious. 
• Correct yourself if you make any mistakes. 
• Keep eye contact. 
• Develop what you say.
• Remind yourself that you are well-prepared and are going to do well."

STEAL VS ROB

• 
  Someone robs a person or an organisation, but steals things such as money.
  
  

The verb rob is usually followed by the preposition of, while steal is followed by the preposition from. Sometimes the phrase starting with of or from is understood or not stated.

Have a look at the following examples:

• A mugger robbed me of my wallet in the park.
• A mugger robbed me in the park.
• The thief stole a laptop from the store.
• The thief stole a laptop.
• They have robbed me.
• They robbed the bank.
• I was robbed of my cheque-book.
• Someone has stolen my watch.
• They stole plenty of money from us.

Related words

robber: the person who robs
robbery: instance of robbing
thief: the person who steals
theft: instance of stealing
