這個星期有點忙，所以這麼晚才來更新。

先說作業：
1. 3-3
2. 抄句子：from Workbook， pp. 37, 38, 41(下半頁的句子，共16句）；抄句子，並寫出英文意思。
3. 練習 查字典。

=====================================

11月8日是“查字典”比賽的日子，因為上課時間有限，大家也已經都了解查字典的方法，所以我決定不要用寶貴的上課時間練習，只有發handout 給同學帶回家做。
We'll have a "Dictionary-Checking Contest" on Nov. 8. Since everyone has learned the techniques of using a Chinese dictionary, I gave handouts for students to practice at home instead of using our valuable class time to do the exercise.


我們班的比賽是排在第二節課，比賽之前我會跟大家復習幾個重點。基本上這次的題目比去年容易，所以同學們不要太緊張，畢竟這只是一次比賽，最重要的是你是不是真的學會了，以後是不是能把這個技巧用在自己的學習上，提升自己的中文能力。比賽時，只要“全力以赴，Do your best." 至於是否得名，先不要想太多。
Our contest is scheduled in the second period, so we'll have time to review some contest tips. Don't be nervous. The questions are easier than those of last year. This is only ONE contest after all. What really matters is that you know how to look up Chinese characters in a dictionary and how to use the skill to improve your overall Chinese language proficiency. Don't think about winning during the contest. Just do your best.
