    Writing test

    Writing Task 2 (an essay) – Nowadays for many people the Internet is replacing regular books. What do you think will happen in the future and what is your opinion about this trend?

    Cue Card – questions about public transportation in your country.

    Discussion – ecological consequences of public transportation and what can be done to improve the situation.
