High school Russian resources: my life

The Word file contains 125 questions that cover the five themes from the new Edexcel GCSE Russian specification (first assessment in May 2019): ● Identity and culture ● Local area, holiday, travel ● School ● Future aspirations, study and work ● International and global dimension. You may use this list to prepare your students for Task 3 of the exam (Conversation). Although no one can predict what questions may come up in the actual exam, we believe that the list is quite ample. If you think other questions should be included, please get in touch!

They can then cut out the items and match them, or stick them into their workbooks. - The 'quick cut' is designed so that you can produce 10 packs of cards quickly and easily using a guillotine. Each page has the same card 10 times over. This allows you to remove words that may not be suitable or needed. Alternatively you can print the same page twice double-sided to produce flash cards.
