Midterm Review: Where do we go from here?

This week, I asked you to find your own reason for learning English. Some of you need English for your future job. Some of you want to travel abroad. A few of you even said you want to make friends with foreigners and understand how different people think. PLEASE POST a comment below (minimum 50 words) and share your reason with us. Let's motivate each other!



I also want you to think about how we can do a better job of using this class as a way to help you improve your skills. As you know, I try my best to give you interesting and relevant chances to use the English skills we study. I also tried to give you a fair test to measure your ability. But is there a way we can do this better? What do you think?

PLEASE CLICK HERE to take the class survey.

Finally, I want you to remember that STARTING NOW, you still have a chance to earn 50 more points (+5 bonus points!) to your current grade. Don't give up!

Next week, we will talk more about your future in Unit 6 of the textbook. You can preview our lesson by looking at next week's vocabulary on pages 56 and 61 of your text book.

Remember, "the only way out is through." Let's work together to help you improve your English skills over the next seven weeks.

Cheers,
Becka
