= = =INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNIT 4 COMPOSITION= Hello everybody.

The instructions to start such a page are as follows: 1- Click on new page and call it, in capital letters, SURNAME, NAME (your surname and first name).Save it 2- Copy the resulting URL, click on "edit navigation" and paste it in the "URL"box.Save 3- Leave the navigation page, check yours on the column on the left. 4- Go to your newly created page, click on edite, write unit 4 composition and save it. = **INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRST TIMERS ** = = = =**Once you have entered //wiki box.spaces.com// and keyed in your user name and password, and can therefore read this home page, you ought to look at the column on the left and find the word //UNIT 1//.

**INTRODUCTION**

**At the end of Advanced 2** students who have passed all their exams and done all the corresponding homework and classwork will be issued a certificate classed as B2 (upper-intermediate) in the European Framework of Reference, a document which establishes a list of common evaluation standards for all European languages. The objectives, contents and other specifications of the course can be found at the OLS English Department website.


 * In plain English this means**that it is a consolidation year for upper-intermediate students. The name of the certificate is misleading because it is upper-intermediate in content (B2), but advanced in name. The need for a really advanced level is strongly felt in the school community . This year there are two C1 classes but no official C1 certificates. This will hopefully be corrected in the near future.
