Study Suggestions for Tomorrow's (Feb.6) Test

How to study for tomorrow's assessment test:

- Look at your Unit tests and assignments. Notice your errors, so you do not make them again.
- Use the blog to review Units 9,10,11,12. Go back to Jan.12 This is when we started Unit 9.
- Look at "Progress" on your ME page to see if I gave you advice about your last speaking video, writing, or anything else.

New Students:

Do not try to learn the vocabulary from those units that you were not here for. There are too many words. It is wiser to review the grammar.
