Kompetenzerweiterung III, Tuesday Group, Homework for December 17th

***Attention: There is a team scheduled for Monday, January 27th at 15:30. Can anyone switch their time with them? Please let me know as soon as possible via email.***

For homework, please:

- continue preparing for your prepared debate question.

- read the "Tampons to Be Taxed as Essential, Not Luxury Items in Germany" article (aloud!) and look into the taxing of other items in Germany (this article might help: https://www.n-tv.de/ratgeber/Die-kruden-Regeln-der-Mehrwertsteuer-article21191910.html ). Select a few items and come to class ready to debate whether those items should move from the 7% to 19% sales tax category, drop from 19% to 7%, maintain their current percent, or be made entirely sales tax free.

- have a look at this video on whether we should do away with chocolate Advent calendars, write down the best arguments the speakers in the video present and be ready to debate the question next week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cYUFf5tHII

- complete exercises 17.1 and 17.2 from the handout "17: stress in compound adjectives and in abbreviations"
