Week 4 (January 27 to 30, 2025) homework
Note: Please try to finish the homework before the next class. You don’t need to send it to me because we usually talk about the answers in class. Also, when you finish the homework & prepare for class, it helps me decide if you will be ready for the expectations of Level 4 or not.
Homework from class Monday, January 27, 2025:
1. Try to log in to D2L for our class; click here –> online.pcc.edu/d2l/home/559019. You will need your myPCC username & password.

In the future, I would like to put all of the homework on D2L.
2. Writing with Student Book page 20, Exercise B. Write sentences with the information from the table about your and your partner. Write affirmative and negative sentences as needed.
