Weekly Updates

Final Exam Info:

Dear class, I was working on this Friday and somehow it got lost. Sorry. 

The final exam will be like the midterm.  Please arrange a partner and a time. Each pair will have 8 minutes.    The class captain should arrange the list and provide it to me by Monday June 16. 


Class 1: between 5:00 pm and 8:15 pm. June 19.
Class 2: between 8:30 pm and 10:30 pm.

Things you should be able to do in the exam: 

Unit 4:

I will give you a map. You must be able to ask and answer with your partner how to get to a place on the map. Vocabulary on page 36 and Pronunciation sentences on page 39 are very useful. Also use the correct grammar on page 41.

Unit 5:

With a partner you will ask and answer questions about an item you are carrying.
Example: What is this/are these?  Where did you get it/them? What's it/are they made of? What's it/are they for?
Study page 44 vocabulary, page 47 sentences, and page 49 grammar.
You can practice with a partner before the test if you want to prepare an item or items to talk about. Don't forget to bring an item to the test if you practice for it. 

Unit 6:

I will ask you questions about your future.

Questions may come from pages 55-56. You must answer with a time expression. (page 52 or ones I taught you).   Study grammar on page 57 (be+ going to+ verb /  might + base verb / will + base verb)
