Homework for week 3

Next week we will talk about the future, life after graduation and what we expect from our lives we have ahead of us. In the work sheet for week 3 you find some exercises that you should complete and bring for your class next week. You don't have to email us anything, just bring your notes so you can discuss with your classmates.

Also, what you should bring next time should be your own words. Do not copy texts from the internet just because they are well written. What you should learn from the exercises is to express yourself, not copy what others have said. Whatever English you produce is better than a text copied from the Internet. :)

You find the material here: Work Sheet 3

About homework

Hello!

Hope you all have had a great weekend and that you were able to catch some sun between the rain showers!

Many of you have asked about how to submit your homework for week 2. And what you should do is to work on the assignments in the work sheet and bring to class. Your homework will then serve as basis for our class discussions. All of you should be prepared to say something in class.

Hope this clarifies things!

Welcome + some things I forgot

Time for me to say a few words :)

My name is Björn Andreasson and I will be you teaching some of you this semester. Normally I'm a graphical designer in Sweden, but somehow ended up here in Nanjing as an English teacher with my girlfriend Malin. And I'm so happy for it - China and Nanjing are really amazing! I hope we will have a great semester together!

And now to some things I forgot to tell my students I had this monday and tuesday - the "Bring your item" assignment is not the only homework you need to do until next week. The complete homework is posted in another post here on the blog by Malin - here! Please tell your friends if they haven't read this post.

Looking forward to meet you all!

Send pictures!

This message concerns the students I met yesterday, Monday. I forgot to ask you to send pictures of yourself along with your name and student number. The 8.00 am group should send their pictures to m6@beakid.se and the 9.50 am group send their pictures to m14@beakid.se.
I need your pictures to learn your names as quickly as possible! There are 400 of you so it might take some time. Please be patient with me if I call you by the wrong name in the beginning! :)

Best,
Malin

Hi there!

Hello! 你好!



I will be teaching some of you this semester and look forward to meeting you very soon! My name is Malin Jogmark and I've been here in Nanjing and China since August last year. Since then I have been working here at Nanjing Forestry University teaching English to undergraduate and post-graduate students. I come from Sweden where I have worked as an English teacher for 2 years at a university called Blekinge Institute of Technology. Before then I studied English in Sweden and USA. I will tell you more about myself when we meet in class.

I have learnt so much about China and its people from my students while teaching them English but I still what to learn more. I like being here very much!

I hope we will get to know each other and have a fun and interesting semester together! If you have any questions to me, please make a comment to this post or send me an email at malin.jogmark@gmail.com
