Dear students,

You can either write down the answers on a piece of paper or in a word document. Remember to include your name. There will be 2 more exercises for you to do. You can do all the work on one document and print it out to submit as homework when school reopens.

Next week we'll be doing writing a short introduction to a passage. I'll get Hazel to post some links here for you to read through and to attempt a question.

Hope you are having a good holiday!

Mr. Chen
