Mitad del cuatrimestre: Revision Time!

Hola a todos,
en estos días estamos promediando la mitad de la cursada. Y quizás sea un buen momento para realizar una evaluación personal de cómo vamos progresando.
Recuerden exponerse al idioma tanto como pueden dentro del aula como fuera.

Les dejamos 2 exámenes de revisión de las primeras unidades. Estos TESTS incluyen los contenidos MINIMOS de cada unidad. Por lo que si tienen muchos errores al resolverlos, es porque habrá que estudiar un poco más.

China's 60th Anniversary. Listening Comprehension

Hi everyone!

The 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China took place on 1 October 2009. A military parade involving 10,000 troops and the display of many high tech weapons was held at Tiananmen Square in Beijing and various celebrations were conducted all over the country. This parade was immediately followed by a civilian parade involving 100,000 participants.
A film entitled The Founding of a Republic was commissioned by China's film regulator and made by the China Film Group to mark the anniversary, and it was released nationwide on 17 September. The film retells the tale of the Communist ascendancy and triumph, and has a star-studded cast including Zhang Ziyi, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and directors Jiang Wen, Chen Kaige and John Woo, many of whom make cameos appearances so brief they could be easily missed; the leading roles — such as revolutionary leader Mao Zedong — will be played by lesser known actors.

Today we bring you a report produced by Australia's ABC Radio. May you enjoy it and have fun working on it!
