Week Four Study Sheet

I hope everyone has a great weekend, farewell to YongHa and Catalina, and thanks to Pete for coming in while he was feeling under the weather (ill) to make a great presentation about video game addiction.  I had no idea it was such a big business in Korea and around the world.  Very informative and well-presented.

I would also like to mention that I will be out for most of next week--I'd intended to tell you during class today but there was so much to cover.  My niece who lives in Norway (notice that I didn't use commas, so you know I have more than one niece!) is visiting my home town and I haven't seen her in a few years.  I'm sorry to leave you guys, but I'll prepare the lessons for your substitute teacher, including the test, so things should be pretty much the same except you'll have everything from a different perspective.  I'm sure it will be a welcome change!  I will be there on Monday for the test.  I'll have to say goodbye to Lyoung, Elena, and Assad!  (Maybe Hanouf). 

Out test will be on Unit 5. We didn't have time to go over Focus points 8 and 9, but I feel that it's very case-specific: medical terms.  Please look over pages 99 through 101, but I won't have anything on these points on the exam on Monday.

Our homework was to read the handout and answer the reading and vocabulary questions.

Here is the vocabulary:
