STRUCTURAL CONVERSION

Poniższy materiał został przeze mnie skompilowany z myślą o swoich uczniach klas trzecich, przygotowujących się do matury pisemnej z języka angielskiego na poziomie rozszerzonym. Dla mnie ten materiał stanowi swoista powtórkę całego materiału gramatycznego oraz strukturalnego z poprzednich dwóch lat nauki i wykorzystywany jest przeze mnie w pierwszych dniach roku szkolnego w klasach trzecich. Ze względu na ilość zdań oraz zakres materiału objętego przez materiał na wykonanie oraz sprawdzenie wszystkich zdań potrzebne są dwie lekcje. W razie braku czasu można pewną część wykorzystać jako zadanie domowe. Sprawdzenie tej ilości zdań nie powinna zająć więcej niż jedną lekcję.
Jeśli chodzi o zakres materiału to sprawdzone są następujące zagadnienia gramatyczne:
• Comparison
• Concession
• Conditions and suppositions
• Commands, requestes and prohibitions
• Suggestions, advice and permission
• Likelihood, probability and possibility
• Obligation, necessity and determination
• Exclamations, wishes and preferences
• Purpose, causes and result
• Participial constructions
• Precaution
• Inversion
• Verb patterns
• Causative’have’
• Reported and direct speech
• The passive voice
• Personal/ impersonal structures in the passive
• Adjectives, determiners and adverbials
• Pseudo-cleft sentences
• Relative clauses
• Synonymous expressions
• Transitive and intransitive uses of verbs
• Countables and uncountables
Cały materiał składa się z transformacji zdań, które bez problemu pomagają nauczycielowi wyłapać wszelkie braki w wiedzy ucznia i pozwalają na zaplanowanie sobie powtórki materiału koniecznego do uzyskania przez uczniów zadowalających wyników na maturze pisemnej z języka angielskiego na poziomie rozszerzonym.
