1) The Zoom meeting website was crashing this morning, so if you tried to join the meeting and were unable to, that's why. We eventually were able to meet with several people. The next meeting is Wednesday, 4/22/20 at 10:00 a.m., using the same link and meeting information as before.
2) Thank you to those of you who have sent me your work from Friday's assignments. We discussed it briefly in the meeting this morning, and you can double check your answers under the "Homework Answers" section of this blog. I will be getting back to you with comments on your individual work.
3) Remember that I can view your progress in Burlington English. Thank you very much, those of you who have completed Lesson 1 in Burlington Core--Low Intermediate (last week's assignment).
Those of you who have not been working in Burlington English, please try to spend 30 minutes, on at least 4 days per week. It's a great review and reinforcement of your English skills. Do let me know if you have trouble logging in.
Assignments
We have now completed the work in chapter 12 of our Future English 3 Textbook. I have not given a unit test on other chapters in the book before, but I think it will be a useful review of the important skills and grammar in the unit.
Tomorrow I will post on this blog a Unit 12 Review Test. You may use your book when you take the test, and you will have until Monday, 4/27/20, to send your work back to me.
There are four units in the textbook that we have not yet studied: units 8, 9, 10, and 11. Since we only have 4 weeks of class left (counting this week), we can't do everything in these units. I will assign specific sections.

Certain verbs are often followed by a gerund, such as enjoy, like, and the verbs listed in the "Grammar Watch" box at the top of p. 156.
