• Every student is required to read 3 simplified English novels within this term so that you can write a book report.
• Every student had better spend two hours a week in practicing writing different genres which we have learned so far. (Learning any language is a process. Many studies have proven that the easiest and best way to learn is to study and practice what you want to learn every day instead of once a week or just before an exam.)
• Assist students in mastering the techniques of writing exposition this semester so that they can write an expository essay on some hot topics on and off campus.
