Administration
Syllabus• Absences: • Excused -1 points of final grade• Unexcused -2 points of final grade

How to get a good gradeEarn it by working hard (participation – in class) and practicing much (outside of class)!
How to develop excellent English:
Read wide and much; get as much input from English sources as you can (internet, movies, books, magazines)
Good input is more useful than grammar practice!

Meeting a friend after a holiday
Hi …, nice to see you again. Long time no see!
How have you been?
Great! I went to watch a movie in ZZ. That was my favorite thing about the break. How about you? How is everything?
Not too bad. I stayed with my grandparents most of the time, but one time I went to Shanghai for a couple of days! That was the best!
