Where: Aula Neubau

You are allowed to use your English-English dictionary for both parts of the written exam.

No bags etc. at your desk.
Leave your (switched off!) mobile phone in your bag.
No notes in your dictionary.
You are only allowed to use sheets of paper provided by the school.
Put your name and class on every sheet you use and hand in everything at the end.
During the first part (translation) nobody is allowed to leave the room.

1. Translation
Preparation: have a look at the translations we did in class.
Time: about 60-75 minutes

Once you hand in the translation, please tell your teacher whether you want to
a) have a break → come and get your essay topics after the break.
b) continue → you will get the essay topics straight away.

2. Essay
Preparation: have a look at „How to write an essay“ and read the comments I wrote on your essays.
Time: the remaining time until 11.00am

The essay topics will deal with:

                       4mG    To Kill a Mockingbird
                              Of Mice and Men
                              I Am the Messenger

1. Be there on time, i.e. 15 minutes before the first member of your group has his/her exam.
2. You'll have 15 minutes to look at the text passage (while another exam is taking place) → use your time wisely and, if necessary, have some earplugs (no headphones!) ready. You are not allowed to write anything down.
3. Impress your teacher and the expert for 15 minutes (remember: we are on your side)
4. Shed a few tears (of joy) and then GO OUT AND ENJOY LIFE!


Once again GOOD LUCK!
Your (soon-to-be former) English teacher
