This page will be your homepage for the activities designed especially
for you to make studying Chapter 5 of Looking Ahead 2,
as easy and enjoyable as you want it to be. The activities go in the
order of your chapter so you may desire to go through the activities
while you are actually learning about the chapter or use it as a revisionary
practice, or even as a diagnostic tool to know your strengths and weaknesses.
Another crossword
puzzle that builds on the vocabulary in Activity 1 and expands to include
the rest of those in Activity 5-1. With the previous activity,
you establish
the vocabulary needed for the readings of the chapters and the readings
used in the activities that follow.
Based
on the reading "Freshman composition", p. 118, this multiple choice
activity practices distinguishing between different types of descriptive
information of an academic course and recognizing ways of experssing them.
The activity enhances your awareness of the descriptive informational writing.
Based
on the reading "The student Academic Computing Center" p. 119,
this multiple choice activity has the same objective of Activity 2, but
the description is about one of the campus' buildings and the services it
offers.
Based
on the reading "The counselling Center" p. 121, this fill-in-the-blank
exercise practices mixing present tense and past tense. While the topic
of the reading is the same as that of activity three, the text is richer
in the grammar of its tenses as it imbeds a narration in the past.
This
scrambled sentences exercise is based on the reading p. 124. Organizing
the sentence parts depend on meaning clues and grammatical ones. The exercise
will help you be prepared to the vocabulary demand of the following activity
on the same text.
Based
on the same reading of activity 9, in this matching activity, you will be
identifying how each of the noun phrases you sorted out in the last activity
function in the sentence.
Again
using the reading of activities 9 and 10, you are to match the noun phrases
of the text to their constituent parts. The activity that follows gives
more practice in this.
This
is based on the vocabulary list from a course entitled Introduction to
Art History, p. 130. This short-answer activity gives more examples
of noun phrases and help in honing your skill in labeling sentence parts.
Based
on the Reading p. 131, this multiple choice activity is aimed at reminding
you of the content elements for a good composition describing your goals
and major.
Based
on Activity 5-23, this scrambled sentences' activity will help you form
grammatically accurate questions while conducting your assigned interview.
