2. What do you think of the teachers' suggestions? I consider these are good suggestions. but I would add a group review, working in pairs, and work in teams too.
3. "Every group is a mixed-ability group." Do you agree with this? yes, because of the different learning styles, the differnt level of previous exposure, and also the age and their preferences.
4. I think Mixed ability isn't a problem. teacher could find some advantages to having students of different levels and abilities in the same class because they can serve like a support sharing their experience and knowledge with the rest of he group.
