Final exam.

Hello, everyone.
Our final exam is on the last day of class, Saturday, May 30th. Results via 'secretaría'.
The exam will include Use of English, (grammar & vocabulary), 2 listenings, a writing, and just one reading. This is because the final exam includes an oral section, where I record you speaking.
Attendance is obligatory, of course.
