Assignments

All of you know what your homework is for Monday.  For those of you who didn't write it down, both grammar work sheets, and listening for Michael Buble.

What does 'last' mean as a verb?
What does it mean to talk yourself into something, or talk yourself out of something?  This is a very good phrasal verb to know.
What does 'work smth out' mean as a phrasal verb?
Do you remember when we talked about Mr. Right, and Mr. Right Now?  Do you think it's true that there is a Mr. Right, but maybe you haven't met him yet? (Or in some of your cases, you have.)

For Tuesday, I would like you to do only 2 listenings and 1 writing.

1) Please listen to this youtube video about Make vs Do.
I know that Make and Do are difficult, because in Spanish they are one word.  This should help you.  If you have difficulty understanding his accent, please listen twice.

2) Another grammar video, but on Much, Many and A lot of.

3) Writing:

You have decided to live in America for a year. Write a letter to your penfriend
giving your reasons for going there and telling him how you think the
experience will help you. Ask your penfriend what he thinks about your plans.



For Thursday, you'll have 4 listening activities!  I know, you love listening.  Remember, it is difficult now, but it won't be later!

1) Youtube for more IDIOMS!

2) 6 minute English, please remember to answer the question for me!  If you can't understand the English easily after two times, please download the tape script on the side of the page.

3) Phrasal verbs with "Put".  Remember to write these down!

4) Pronouns!  These are often confusing.  I know you already know these, but please listen to review some basic pronoun rules.  A good foundation is really important!

And last, but not least!  Due Monday will be chapters 1, and 2 of Ripley's Game, and also, another writing:


It is your cousin’s 18th birthday soon. Her friend Jane has asked you what
present she might like. Write an email to Jane saying what you think is a
suitable gift and why. Say how your cousin is planning to celebrate her
birthday.


If you have any questions on your homework, please let me know on Monday.
