Midterm Review: Where do we go from here?

This week, I asked you to find your own reason for learning English. Some of you need English for your future job. Some of you want to travel abroad. A few of you even said you want to make friends with foreigners and understand how different people think. PLEASE POST a comment below (minimum 50 words) and share your reason with us. Let's motivate each other!



I also want you to think about how we can do a better job of using this class as a way to help you improve your skills. As you know, I try my best to give you interesting and relevant chances to use the English skills we study. I also tried to give you a fair test to measure your ability. But is there a way we can do this better? What do you think?

PLEASE CLICK HERE to take the class survey.

Finally, I want you to remember that STARTING NOW, you still have a chance to earn 50 more points (+5 bonus points!) to your current grade. Don't give up!

Next week, we will talk more about your future in Unit 6 of the textbook. You can preview our lesson by looking at next week's vocabulary on pages 56 and 61 of your text book.

Remember, "the only way out is through." Let's work together to help you improve your English skills over the next seven weeks.

Cheers,
Becka

    With the fast development of our society and the frequencies of international communication and cooperation, having a good knowledge of English is a must in our daily life. I must study English if I want to learn more about the world---even the small world around us。 learning English well can help me learn something advanced abroad quickly and directly.
    As the world business is going global, English is becoming more and more important to communicate with foreigners.

    last week Computer problem causes can not do the Powerpoint presentation in the class, in my opinion,when we do the presentation next time,We had better find a person to make sure the computer is no problem

  7. I need study english more because i want to do various things, just like read a book, listen to the music, enjoy the musical or concert without translation.
    Of course these contents are made by foreign word. I want to understand that meaning naturally, like if those words are my mother language.
    I guess it should be great impression to me. All those words have charm that is so valuable.
