All of you need to bring newspaper, it will count as participation (NOT as extra points but as a grade).

It doesn't matter if you bring just a little bit but you need to bring some!

Also, when you bring the newspaper you will have to write your name, your group's name (Pre-Intermediate "B" - Classroom 07) and your teacher's name (Mr. Agustín Rodríguez).

Please study hard and also do your homework!

Just to remind you, here's the homework for next class:

• Workbook page 19 (exercise C) and ALL page 20.
• Reading Comprehension Activity
• Speech about something you like (2 minutes max.)

Hello!

Sorry I'm late by publishing the Homework!!, but I have had lot of work during the week. Anyway, here's the homework for next class:

• Workbook (activity about Some/Any/No/Every)
• 10 Sentences using Some/Any/No/Every
• Quiz #2 mistakes.  Remember 5 times each mistake!

NEWS!!!  Next class there will be no Quiz!!!

This week you can take it easy, but prepare because the new topic (Some/Any/No/Every) is difficult to understand and we need lots of practice. 

Also about Quiz #3 you got very bad grades!! It is very sad for me to inform you that none of you passed the exam!! We need a lot to practice about the last topics (Present and Past) because they are very important, I know the type of exercises that were on the exam are different and difficult but you need to get used to them.

REMEMBER TO DO THE HOMEWORK!!
