10/18 class notes and homework－李娜亞老師 3A教室

Special thanks to Chuping, 謹華’s mom, for making 17 copies of my voice recording CD for every students! The CD contains 10 lessons vocabularies, conversations, and texts. I engourage students to listen to the CD in the car, at home, or anywhere you want to listen to it.

Thanks to Yee Ping for helping out in class today~~

Dear 3A parents and students,

I let students practice taking mid-term exam today so they will not feel panic next Saturday when they see the real test paper.

The mid-term exam contains listening, writing, and speaking.

1. Listening and writing are in the test paper.

(Please see email attached files for my voice recording for listening questions and today’s practice test paper. Please note, it’s the practice test, not the content of next week’s real mid-term, but very similar.)

2. Fill in the name of the family tree member.

(Every student took home a copy of textbook’s family tree.

I will wipe out few members’ names, and students will need to fill in the correct answers, so please study the paper at home.)

3. Speaking: Students need to do the presentation by reading textbook page 21.

(Please be careful with tones.)

Conversation partners:

(You only need to read A or B. If you are A, then you don't need to read B. B don't need to read A.)

A 詠欣+ B啟蘇 (詠欣 read A, 啟蘇 read B)

A 宜昇+ B 美琪

A 磊磊 + B 思賢

A 光政 + B天樂

A 華禧 + B 安安

A 雅芝 + B 殷琪

A 康權 + B 謹華

A 蘇菲 + B 海靈

A 克拉 + B 安安班長 (next week‘s student class rep helps out to do it again ^_^)

Next week’s Mid-term paper is very similar to today’s practice test paper. There are only few words different. I do believe the purpose of any test is to boost student’s confidence, not making them feel frustrated.

Please have students study:

1. Today’s test paper, make sure they know how to write the Chinese Characters and pinyin for some questions.

2. Family tree, remember family members and know how to write the Chinese Characters and pinyin.

3. Read their conversation part on textbook page 21.

We started lesson 3 today. It will not be in the mid-term.

Study hard and good luck~
