Kavi's Term 1 Show-What-You-Know Day

"It's your Term 1 Check, clever writer — not a scary test, a day to shine! ⭐" says Kavi the owl. "This term you built complex sentences with a main and a subordinate clause, you used the present perfect — I have seen, she has done — you worked out a text's purpose (to inform, persuade or entertain), you chose joining words with care, you explained idioms like a piece of cake, and you followed command words like compare and explain. Let's put it all together today!"
