Your task for this week is to learn ALL of the vocabulary for Unit 22 (Quality and the arts) 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.
Please review Units 1, 3, and 5 in the textbook and your answers to the exercises you completed last semester. Bring in any questions that you have with tense to our next session.
