Welcome to the second year!
Before you start please make sure you are using the page for the correct year. This page is for those sitting the exam in 2021 or 2022 only. For 2023, 2024 or 2025 please use the page here.
In the foreground of the picture above are the present day ruins of Troy. In the background you can just see the blue Aegean Sea. If you did your summer reading you will now be familiar with all the ins and outs of the story of Troy. Of course you do not have to remember all of this for the exam but it will be very good background for when we start to look at Virgil's Aeneid. The hero of of the Aeneid is Aeneas because the Aeneid is a kind of sequel to Homer's Iliad which is the Greek book that tells the story of Troy. If you did not manage to read Roger Lancelyn Green's The Tale of Troy. over the summer don't worry, you can do it now, it is not particularly long. Watch out for Aeneas and jot down the appearances he makes in the story. What kind of character is he?
A very enjoyable preparation for the excerpts from Cicero's writing which form the other set text would be to read Julius Caesar by John Buchan. A Heron edition goes for about £1 on Amazon or you could request it from your local library.
Whichever method you decided on, make sure your vocabulary notebook or your highlighted syllabus list is up to date with all the vocabulary we learned last year. We will be adding to the list this year.
I have also put up a complete vocabulary for the translation exercises which form the Day 4 work this year. Although any new words are given at the end of each exercise a complete vocbulary is handy if you have forgotten a word that occurs in a previous exercise. You do not need to learn this vocabulary only the prescribed vocabulary on the syllabus. Just download it and print it out for reference as you work through the exercises. You will find it on this page immediately below this introduction.
Download and print the PDF files on this page and work through them just as you did last year. Again you should aim to work through four PDF files per week. Award yourself a new ring binder for this year's work. You will need sections in it for Grammar, Literature and Translations. Keep up the habit of doing all written work on paper with a pen. This will help you prepare for the exam. Let me know how you get on!
(If you are not doing the whole of this course but are just looking for help with Cambridge IGCSE Latin set books for the current syllabus, scroll down to Term Two below.)
