Remind the students to ask indirect questions if they want to use these phrases. We advice to give the opportunity to speak to all students of all levels: if the level is weak, the students may use ready phrases given before; and to encourage the students who can speak, to give them more freedom to create their own dialogues – logical and real to life!

This taskhelps to develop students’ writing skills and also speaking skills on the topic about their study.

The history of the University and the city started at the same time in the 12^th century as the result of the migration of students. There is no “university” as such. Each college is practically autonomous, with its own set of rules for its good government. There is a central administration, providing services such as libraries and laboratories.
