Kompetenzerweiterung II, Work for Week Eight (May 18-22)

Your task for this week is to learn ALL of the vocabulary for Unit 6 (Time and Work) and Unit 8 (Movement and Transport) and complete all of the remaining accompanying exercises. Much of it will be review, but please pay attention to sections (those other than topic vocabulary and word formation) that we did not cover last semester.

Concerning new information on the exam, the content will remain the same (see my previous posts for further details), but the exam will most likely (and by that I mean 99% most likely) take place online. We are currently figuring out how this will be achieved and I will inform you as I receive more information. 

Please also complete these key word transformation, word formation and open cloze exercises:

There will be two Zoom sessions this week (one on May 18th from 10-11 am for my Monday/Wednesday group and one on May 19th from 10-11 am for my Tuesday/Thursday group) in which we will workshop an essay together as a class. I will also be offering a Zoom session at the following times in which we will review the grammar points from the first half of this semester (therefore, I would like you to review these points in advance of next week's session if you will be attending):

Monday/Wednesday Group: Monday, May 24, 10-11 am 

Tuesday/Thursday Group: Tuesday, May 25, 10-11 am 

Attendance at this meeting is optional. If you attend, please attend the meeting of your respective class. There will also be a normal post on this blog for next week. (The meeting ID and password for our Zoom sessions can be found in Week Seven's blog post. Please be advised that the first a zero starts both passwords, not the letter "o".)

Your optional essay topics for this week are:

1.Will corona change the way we work forever?

2. Is mobility a basic human right?

Choose one of the above questions for your optional essay of 250-350 words and submit it to me via email in an MS Word document by Wednesday, May 20 at 5 pm. (The deadline has been moved up due to Thursday's holiday.) Try to write your essay within 80 minutes this week. Essays must meet the word-limit guidelines and be submitted by the deadline in order to receive feedback.
