week 17

Thank you very much for letting me read your summer holiday diary. I enjoy reading it, and I will soon give it back to you.

As I told you, you will learn basic grammar while doing the textbook by yourself. You will have to finish all the pages by January. Please ask me any questions in the classroom and by email.

And you will practice reading articles and making a presentation. I will show you a sample:

Japanese man apologises for death of Lindsay Ann Hawker in letter to her family

By next Wednesday, please email me and let me know what you are going to talk about with the website address.
