We've had a lot of first-time presentations lately, but here's a last-time presentation by Lujain, whose last week is next week. Be extra nice to her! Today, she spoke about fashion don'ts, that is, things that we shouldn't do in fashion. I made sure to pull up my pants after her talk! Lujain's got a great sense of humor and good fashion sense--everyone enjoyed her presentation. Nice job!
I hadn't realized it, but Lujain's presentation happened to be on the same day as her 25th birthday! Wow! She has a wonderful friend in Rawan, who had prepared a special cake for her and shared it with all of us. Thanks, and happy birthday, Lujain!
This is a great picture, don't you think so?
And we did have a chance to do a little studying--we went over the homework from last night and started to study Unit 8--not much new information! We've talked about the differences between who and that (both can be used for people), that and which (which can be used for animals and things), who and whom (subject and object relative pronouns) and when we can omit them.
Our homework is Exercise 1 on page 151 and Exercise 3 on page 153 (only step 1--you don't have to do step two). No really new material but excellent practice and good vocabulary words. You can do it in the book or your notes--you don't have to hand it in. But I will check!
Finally, we went on ANOTHER field trip! We paid a visit to the Hilton Hotel on Broad Street, where all our Kaplan NEU classes will be held after the Christmas break. It's very easy to get to! Take the Orange Line to State Street, exit at the Old State House and walk down the hill, down State Street. Take a right at Broad Street (there's a Dunkin Donuts there--I think we lost a couple students there on the way back), go a few blocks and look for the "Northeastern University" banners on the Hilton Hotel. Then go up one floor.
Here we are checking out our new area, which looks BEAUTIFUL!
By the way, Fatimah will be taking a break, so we won't see her for a few weeks. Hurry back!
Tomorrow we'll finish up Unit 8, go over the reading and do some listening. We'll have a busy day, so come on time and be ready to learn!
