Homework Day 4 - Thursday December 3

Congratulations - you have almost completed your first week of CELDT preparation ! Here is your homework for this evening.



1. Today we covered introductions and thesis statements. On page 18 in the course pack, I would like you to select one of the two remaining topics and write an interesting introduction with a thesis statement. Check to see that your position on the topic is clear in your thesis statement. I will collect this tomorrow. Be sure to self-edit for grammar, verb tense and spelling errors.



2. Grammar: Conditionals

Here are some links to some very simple explanations to the conditionals. After reading the info on each link, at the bottom of the page, you will see some links to exercises.

Conditionals in Practice: Write one paragraph (with a topic sentence) on the following question (minimum 10 lines): If you could meet one famous person in the world ( live or dead), who would it be and why?

Please submit this paragraph tomorrow. Be sure to self-edit for grammar, verb tense and spelling problems.

3. Reading for the CELDT:
Complete the reading exercises we stared in class. Identify if the question is an information seeking question or an inference-based question. We will take up the answers tomorrow in class.
