Dear class,

If you miss school, it's your responsibility to make up what you have missed and to find out what the homework is.  You can ask your classmates, call me, or check it here.  "I wasn't here last week" is not an acceptable excuse for not doing your homework.  I know you may not care about my reaction or even about flunking Chinese, but ....whose loss is it if you don't learn as much as you possibly can in my class?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What we did in class:

1. Read 課文,and explained the following terms:

    一大包;講義;知道 vs 認識 vs 明白;對照;果然不錯
    不到三十分鐘 = 三十分鐘之內  (but not  “不到三十分鐘之內”)

2. Practiced some sentence patterns:

    a.  一 ......  就 .....
        ex. 我 一 回家 就 玩電動。
             老師 一 進教室,就 開始考試。

    b. 看起來....., 其實.......
        ex. 中文看起來很難,其實不難。
              那個電動遊戲看起來很好玩,其實不好玩。

3. Reviewed Workbook 4-2

4. Started Lesson 5:  read 課文,and learned 禮券,準備,超級
    (pp. 46-48)

5. Quiz

2011-01-15 How can you improve your learning (and grade)?

There's probably no "best" learning style that fits everyone. However, I think there're basic steps that will definitely help us get satisfactory, if not outstanding, results. One of them is to DO YOUR HOMEWORK FAITHFULLY.  Start now if you haven't been doing so.
