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. 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.

In addition to this, please watch the following videos and complete the following exercises:

The next Zoom sessions will be offered at the following times:

Monday/Wednesday Group: Monday, June 8th from 10-11 am

Tuesday/Thursday Group: Tuesday, June 9th from 10-11 am 

In abovementioned sessions, we'll be doing work on vocabulary items covered in your book together. I will also be offering a Zoom session at the following times to cover error correction, essay writing, and the exam procedure:
Monday/Wednesday Group: Monday, June 15th from 10-11 am
Tuesday/Thursday Group: Tuesday, June 16th from 10-11 am
Attendance at Zoom meetings are optional. If you attend, please attend the meeting of your respective group (i.e. Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday). (If you must attend the session of the other group, let me know in advance via email.) 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 a zero starts both passwords, not the letter "o".)

Your optional essay topics 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 (the Mayo Clinic is one of the premier medical institutions in the US): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Zj31nHGdo )

2. Do companies have the right to monitor their employees' health? (This article might help: 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 Wednesday, June 3rd at midnight. Essays must meet the word-limit guidelines and be submitted by the deadline in order to receive feedback. Since I will be doing the corrections by hand in the next couple of weeks and scanning back the results to you, please provide ample space (e.g. double space) between the lines of your essay so that I can write my corrections/remarks. Please also take the time to proofread what you've written BEFORE you submit it to me. At this stage of the game, I should not be correctly basic spelling errors and grammatical errors that I have drawn your attention to in previous corrections. Your goal should be to learn something NEW about your writing with each batch of feedback you receive from me.
