ni men hao!

Hi, I will see you one more time tomorrow before I leave, so I am going to give you a headup as to what to expect:
1. The subsitute teacher's name is : Jia Man, you can call her Jia laoshi.

2. Here is the list of Podcasting signups: Audrey, Austin, Nick, Parker, David O, Zack, Ted. Then we shall restart the second round again, but it won't happen until at least one month later.

3. Homework for tomorrow is the filled vocabulary sheets ( 2 boxes) for Lesson 1 and Lesson vocabularies. If you don't have a computer at home with Chinese software, you can borrow one from the Language cart in Brad 14. Just tell Alex you are my student and you need to borrow one for homework.

Thanks,

Gao laoshi

Hi, ni men hao!

Today we are going to have a in-class project to review the past two Lessons from the textbook as well as the Chinesepod lessons.

Steps:
1. Use any of the search engines to find a famous Chinese celebrity and learn a little bit about who they are.

2. Create Six dialogues between YOU and this celebrity. That means it is at least 12 sentences in total. All these dialogues do not need to be in sequence or interconnected. Feel free to change subjects. However, within each individual dialogue, it need to make sense. However, you can not ask the Celebrity how he/she is doing, and he answers "He/She likes to drink coffee".

thanks,

Gao laoshi
