Semester 1 Finals: Core Exam

Hello, students! These are the topics for the final core exam.
  • Parts of an airport
  • Going to for the future
  • Present continuous for the future
  • Defining relative clauses (who, which, where, what, etc.)
  • Paraphrasing
"It's a place in Chiang Mai. It has lots of shops, restaurants, and a cinema"
  • Present perfect + yet, just, already (Have you done you your homework yet? Yes, I've just finished)
  • Present perfect or past simple? (I've been to China once/I went to China last year)
  • Something, anything, nothing
  • Comparative adjectives and adverbs (She is more intelligent than I am./I wish I played football as well as him.)
  • Superlatives [+ever +present perfect] (What's the best place you have ever been to?)
  • Quantifiers, too, not enough (How many cups of coffee do you drink each day? Probably too many.)
Most (but not all) of the exam follows the same format: there are some multiple choice questions where you have to choose and copy the correct answer, then a section where you have to think about the correct answer by yourself.


There are also some longer writing questions, worth about 5 points each. Try to write in sentences. You don't have to write a paragraph, but you could get more points if you do!

Here's some work that you can do to prepare for the exam. Remember, apart from the parts of an airport, most of the exam is about grammar:
