Yr 11 Leisure and Tourism - UNIT 3 REVISION

Your exam is on Monday - you have plenty of time to read the power point below and complete the worksheets and past paper given to you earlier. NOTE: it is a large file so the ppt may take a while to download. To view it larger, it may be best to click on the 'view on slide share' box at the bottom of slide.

I HAVE READ THROUGH THE PPT I GAVE YOU A COPY OF - THERE WERE SOME RATHER SPECTACULAR AND SOME AMUSING SPELLING, GRAMMAR AND GENERALLY SOME REALLY ODD TEXT IN IT - I have quickly altered it, but there may still be some odd things left in it. I was trying out this new speech recognition software - it obviously does not like my accent as one of the most amusing mistakes was 'tour' being written as 'chewer'!!
