Thank you, Nicolas, for a presentation that was not only informative but also connected to topics that we studied recently! We couldn't have our double-header today but will enjoy one tomorrow: Vasily will go first, followed by Can. It should be fascinating.
We began Unit 23 of Grammar Dimensions and tackled some of the tough vocabulary on page 407. You might see a lot of these words on our test, so strive to master them all!
The homework for today is to do Exercise 1 on page 408. Please write these on a piece of paper to hand in tomorrow. As the directions say, pretend that you are talking to the different kind of consumers and make sentences like the example. Another example for the "survivor" could be "It is true that meeting your needs is more important than fulfilling your desires; however, many things which were luxuries in the past are essential now: computers, smart phones, even air conditioners!"
Have fun with it. If you hate consumer-oriented activities, why don't you write a satire of what a transgressive salesperson might say to such customers? Your only limit is your imagination (and some basic rules of common decency)!
Also, I'm still looking for your essays! (Except for one--you know who you are, and thank you!)
Well, sorry I didn't told you that I have Mac!
