This is your homework for this evening
1. Letter to a friend - correct your tenses. I have underlined sentences in your letters which contain a verb tense error. Correct the error above or below the sentence in a different coloured pencil/pen. I will collect this tomorrow.
2. Paragraph: It's better to live on campus than off campus. Revise your paragraph based on the peer review exercise we did in class today. Please submit the first draft of your paragraph, the second draft of your paragraph and the peer review sheet. I will evaluate your paragraphs tomorrow.
2. Grammar Point:Passive Voice - there is an excellent link below which explains the difference between using active and passive voice. As well, it shows how to translate sentences from one voice to the other.
