It may be cool and rainy this weekend--a good chance to stay home and study hard. Of course, on the test, we will focus on Unit 11 of the text. I will make questions similar to Exercise 1, 2, 4 and especially 7. In addition, study the correlative conjunction and appositive sheets.
There will also be a little writing on the test.
I've modified the vocabulary a little bit; as we did not do the listening exercise today, I've omitted the vocabulary from that. Moreover, I plan to focus especially on the words and expressions that we went over in class, so if you have been attending and paying attention, you should be in good shape for the test!
If you have any questions about the test or the paper (please see post about that), write a comment or send me an email.
But not so soon--I'm off to the farewell party for Chelsea and Angela and should be out of touch for the evening! Have a great weekend and see you on Monday.
