revision test for teenagers
This is a test based on upper-intermediate materials with an essay task at the end. It�s practical because it covers a little bit of everything, so you can use it as PLACEMENT, too, when you get a new group and you�re not sure how much they know. Practical, more than attractive, but I hope you find it useful!
