2011-01-29 Chinese Lunar New Year Is Coming

Dear class,

We're going to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year this coming Saturday (Feb. 05).  You don't have to bring your textbook or homework to school, but do bring a bag with you.

The assignment I gave you is for 2 weeks.  Hand in the written part on 2/12.

1. Send me an email:
    This is optional.  Do this only when you do use email regularly and when your parents permit you to give out your email address.  I won't send you junk mail or disclose your email to others.  It will be used solely for sending you information regarding our class.

2. Visit my blog:
    In addition to the weekly assignment, I'll put extra learning material here, so please make it a habit to visit this blog regularly.  Use the resource (links to other websites) provided here too.

3. Complete Workbook pp. 77-84.
    If you haven't done pp. 73-76, do those pages too.

4. Copy 生字 and 詞語 (中文 + 注音)on p. 50, 一次。

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

歌曲:恭喜恭喜



每條大街小巷 每個人的嘴裡
見面第一句話 就是恭喜恭喜
恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀 恭喜恭喜恭喜你

冬天已到盡頭 真是好的消息
溫暖的春風 吹醒了大地
恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀 恭喜恭喜恭喜你

歌曲:恭喜發財歌

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)

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.
