WEEK 3 (29 SEPTEMBER-2 OCTOBER)

Dear All,
This week I have introduced our class blog to you and explained how to get the most out of it.
We have covered some words, whose noun and verb forms are the same, in Chapter 2.
Besides, we have had a chance to practice coordinators: and, so, for,, but, yet, nor (FANBOYS).
Regarding your homework, you are required to complete the half of the sentences on pages 29, and 32-37.
Have a nice bayram holiday break:)
