Assignment #8

1. Correct the essay on your favourite teacher following the discussion from the last lesson. Place the new version as a comment to Assignment #7.
2. I was worried that you were not able to write at least 150 words about one teacher. Write this essay again, this time in Polish only, but be more creative. Here are some ideas for you: You could write about his age, his appearance, the way he dresses; about how he speaks (can he express himself fluently, does he have a nice voice?). Is he fair in evaluating students' work? What about his temper? Does he ever get upset and angry? Give some examples of his jokes (you wrote, he had a good sense of humour). Does he assign any homework? If so, is it interesting? Does he correct it? And so on. Place the Polish essay as a comment to this assignment.
3. Study the parse tree of the last, most complex sentence, which I have added to Home assignment #7, task 4. We will discuss it during our next lesson.
4. Finish the Modal Verbs Exercise 1 (exercises 10-20). Process all new words following the procedure Processing new words. Pay special attention to the pronunciation. During our previous lesson you had serious troubles with it.
