NJV notice

Hi to all,

Here are excerpts from the short answers written by Groups A, B and V. If you recognize your work, you must take part in the remedial writing class next week. (Everyone else is welcome too, of course, if you'd like some writing tips.) It will last about two hours. I propose Friday, 23 Oct, sometime in the morning. Please organize yourselves and let me know when, so I can reserve a room. Also, please print out this file and bring it with you.

Regards from Terry

NJV students' choices, unit 1

NJV 3 2009
UNIT 1
STUDENTS’ CHOICES

Hi to all: there are 35 words this time, as there was some overlap between groups. Remember to check all parts of speech (for example, exasperation, not just exasperate) and to go back to the reading and learn the word in context. Also, just to clear up any confusion: these words won't appear on your tests, but will be on the final exam.
