Dear Students:
Today we had an interesting class of interpretation practice, translation, the red secular dust of the earthly world, and the basics of etymology (submit). We also discussed Randall's Cyber Listening Lab and Drew's script-o-rama.com.
HOMEWORK:
1) Prepare for next week's Video-taped Presentations. You will work with a partner and interpret consecutively in Mandarin and English. Each session (you and your partner will do ONE session) should last about 3-4 minutes. Please choose a topic that is related to NDHU and preferably around the Liberal Arts Building.
2) If you didn't post your homework on the blog for last week, please do so. Just don't post it on the same one as the others from last week or I won't know which one is yours.
3) Please read Chapter One over and tell me if you are missing any pages.
