Here's hoping you all have a safe, yet fun filled holiday weekend. Congratulations on the 39th anniversary of the unification of the United Arab Emirates. BUT.....there is language work to do.
First I want you to write a journal about what it is you did different this holiday weekend from any other weekend for the occasion of National Day and the New Hijrah Year. Please 7 sentences on what you did on National Day and seven more sentences on what you did to ring in the new year. Since you will describe what you DID, your sentences should be written in the past with past tense verbs. Please write about those things you did in order to celebrate National Day or New's Year. That way I expect to see more than the usual 'I played football with my friends'.
The second task I want you to perform is read an article at www.thenational.ae and write a five sentence summary about what it is you read. Please include the url, or address of the article that you can get from address bar of your web browser. You may choose any article that you like and any length, BUT you must write what that article is about in at least five sentences. This should be written in paragraph form. At the end of your paragraph, please copy and paste the url.
Finally, I want both of these items emailed to me....I know that's a first, by 7:30a.m. Monday, December 6th. There will be a lot of class work to do on Monday and I don't want to spend some of it trying to log onto different hotspots. My advice to you all is to send it to me Sunday night before you go to bed. Ok, gentlemen...make it a great holiday period. Enjoy yourselves with friends and family, get plenty of rest and be prepared for your classes Monday morning. God willing, see you in class!
