We have explained exercise 3 and 4 in detail, to explain words for adding information: what's more, moreover, furthermore, besides and in addition go at the beginning of the sentence. They mean es más, además. "Also" goes in the middle of a sentence, before the main verb and after the verb to be. (significa también). "too" and "as well" go at the end of the sentence. Both of them mean "también".
Finally, we have worked with a listening exercise, which is similar to the one you have in the exam. You had to match five different speakers with what they say. On the other side of this photocopy, there is a reading exercise in which you separate the paragraphs of two different stories, and put them in order. This is the homework.
