La Junta homenajea a los 25 jóvenes de Granada con las mejores notas en Selectividad

 

Congratulations to Clara Prados for having achieved the second highest mark in the Selectivity exams in the province of Granada.

 

Read this article in EL IDEAL: El 92,64% de los estudiantes de bachillerato que han hecho la selectividad han aprobado y uno ha conseguido un 10 absoluto and you'll see: "La segunda mejor nota ha correspondido a la alumna Clara Prados Rodríguez, del IES “Mediterráneo” de Salobreña (Granada), con una nota de 9,950 en el Acceso a la Universidad."  

Furthermore, these 4 students also got excellent results: Ana González (9,37), Martín Fco. Martín (9,23), Marta Nieto (9,09) and Desiré Venegas (9,4).

And congratulations to all our students as they have all passed and they have obtained excellent results in the Selectivity exams, especially in English, whose mean (Albert's students) was 7,2 and whose mean in the Selectivity exam has been 7,3 (and in the province of Granada the mean is of 5,99).

And, as far as we know, again incredible results at the official language school in Motril: 

• 1º Bach A: Claudio López has obtained his B2
• 2º Bachillerato: Mireia González & Andrea Ligero have obtained their B1 
• 1º Bach B: Inés Palomino has obtained her B2 in French.

Some advice for your fellow students 2015

The school year is coming to an end and I would like you to read old students' advice and then give some advice to the students that will follow your steps. Try to be sincere and, using appropriate advice structures, tell them what they should do. Include the level you are referring to at the beginning of your comment.

Here's an example. Pay attention to the structures used and also have a look at this (and then listen to the episode): 

For example:
I'm a student of 2º ESO and I would like to give you some advice if you are in 2º ESO next year with Albert:

• I think you should....
• You must....
• You have to.....
• Study everyday...
• Don't  keep your things untidy....
• If I were you, I would....
• You'd better.... 
• And remember TO ADVISE, SPELT WITH AN S, IS THE VERB (I'd advise you to do sth) and ADVICE, SPELT WITH A C, IS AN UNCOUNTABLE NOUN (My piece of advice for you is...  OR I will give you some advice about...)

 Write a comment giving your advice and tell me if you find any other useful structure or vocabulary connected with the issue.
