Please consult the schedule for your second Teilleistung (oral exam based on the reading/listening log), which I've posted in the "Class information" folder on Ilias. Please use our Zoom session login information for that time slot UNLESS you have a partner in the Tues/Thurs group; in that case, please obtain the login information for that session from your partner or from me via email.
Your task for this week is to learn ALL of the vocabulary for Unit 18 (Reactions and health) and complete all of the remaining accompanying exercises. Please also do all of Review 9 on pp. 152-153. Much of this material will be review, but please pay attention to sections (those other than topic vocabulary and word formation) that we did not cover last semester.
We'll be looking at collocations more in depth next week, so please complete the following quizzes:
Some supplementary exercises for the position of adverbs:
(This is a nice run-down put together by Cambridge: Adverbs and adverb phrases: position - English Grammar Today - Cambridge Dictionary )
Your optional essay prompts for this week are:
1. What should young people do to maintain sound mental health during their studies or apprenticeships? (This video might provide you with some ideas, but please don't simply summarize its content (the Mayo Clinic is one of the premier medical institutions in the US): Teens and mental health: Mayo Clinic Radio - YouTube)
2. Do companies have the right to monitor their employees' health? (This article might help, but, again, please don't just summarize its content: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/14/is-your-boss-secretly-or-not-so-secretly-watching-you )
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 Thursday, June 3rd at midnight. Essays must meet the word-limit guidelines and be submitted by the deadline in order to receive feedback.
