(By the way, in case you didn't notice, you can find three examples of adjective complements above!)
Sorry about the stinky situation in room 203 today. My sense of smell must not be so strong. Thanks for putting up with it and the move. I'll let you know where we'll be on Monday as soon as I can. I have a feeling that it will be in room 203, which is our usual room. The situation should be better by then. In case you can't access the internet after today for some reason, I'll post a message in room 203 if we are to be in a different room.
So now everybody knows all about Abdulaziz's taste in music! I can't say it's my cup of tea, but there's no doubt that the guys behind the music (despite their unhealthy lifestyles!) are serious artists who have a lot of talent, intelligence, and integrity, which I respect.
And today we said goodbye to Danbee and Jenny, which was fun but sad. Saying farewell is always sad, but we're happy that our students are moving on the the next phase of their lives. Also, we said goodbye to Rawan for a while. For her to follow the class on this blog would be great. I'll try to put as much information as possible so that she can participate. If she'd like to send me homework assignments, I'd be happy to check them.
For homework this weekend, please do Exercise 4 on page 377, which we'll go over on Monday. Pay special attention to the vocabulary from those pages, as are listed on the vocabulary sheet.
Also, read the passage that I gave you today ("The Generic Plot Pattern in Children's Literature") and prepare any questions you may have on it for Monday before the test. I'll include some writing questions based on this for the test.
And now, as usual, it's time for our study sheet. I have edited it to show that we did not do page 378 of Grammar dimensions or the listening in Academic Connections, so you don't have to study those words...if you don't want to, that is. But for you to study those words would be awesome!
