In class we talked about adjectives and adverbs and their use with countable and countable nouns. We worked in pairs to put together original sentences from cut-up sentences. Students who finished the assignment read them aloud and then made edits in the lab. The variety of experiences that students are writing about is really incredible. I am thrilled with how much you are sharing in English. The others students finished the assignment and I was able to edit most of them. If you still have not finished last week's assignment, please do it soon and email me.
THIS WEEK:
1. Finish these five exercises. We are doing this instead of Quia this week!)
and this:
and this:
WORD ORDER:
and
2. Vist the blog of the student after your name on the blog list. Make a comment about something interesting that they wrote on their blog.
3. People who want to work on resumes and cover letters, send them to me via email. (You can use the cover letter templates found at the link.)
4. WRITE A LETTER to New Immigrants. What advice would you give them? Be careful about word order, adjectives and adverbs.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:
Dear New Immigrant,
Welcome to the Land of Plenty! Life will be full of surpises and challenges here. There are a few tips I'd like to pass along to make your life easier:
1. When someone asks, "How are you?" you should always say you are fine, even if you are not. Everyone in America is FINE, FINE, FINE!!! Get used to it!
2. Never ask anyone over 30 how old they are. They don't want to answer!!
3.Don't stare or point at strange people. (Note: there are many, many strange people!)
4. Get a cell phone, even if you don't need it. Everyone here has one.
5. Drive carefully! Tickets are expensive!
Last but not least, keep smiling. This is a country of smiles. Maybe in your country you didn't smile all the time, but here we do.
GOOD LUCK! Let me know if there are problems!
