It is important that you work regularly throughout the semester,
and revise the content of each lesson well,
in order to progress through the various stages of the course.
It is vital you attend each lesson and prepare the homework
for the following week, aiming to acquire new knowledge
and a deeper understanding of sound.
The final exam is essentially a test of how much you have acquired
during this annual course and you will be well-prepared for this final exam
if you study each stage carefully.
It should already be clear to you that this is not an exam
you can cram for in a very short time.
Instead you need time, patience, practice and determination to arrive at
a competent level of understanding, elaboration and production
of the Sounds of English.
Obviously, the material covered in the first semester dispensa
will help you during your second semester and should consulted frequently. 2 4 3 5
