Happy Book Day!
Today is Book Day and I'd like to invite you to read a story by Alistair MacLeod, of one of my favourite Canadian authors. He died three days ago, which made me really sad...
I can't post a PDF with the story in the blog, so for now, enjoy his reading (starting around minute 6)
Key to review 2

Listening Comprehension Practice
Since we're going to start a new unit, I suggest you do this exercise (9.3) as homework, instead of listening to it in class. Read the sentences from 1-8 on p. 68 of your book and listen to the recording twice. Decide whether the sentences are true or false and check your answers with the transcript.
