Hi gentlemen,

I will be staying at home to recover as I have conjunctivitis ( you may check it out on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ) which is contagious if not careful. Hence, I will not be seeing you this week.

In my absence, I would like you to:

1) Write an article reflection each day from the newspaper or reader's digest of any month's issue. That means 4 pieces of writing altogether.

2) Complete writing practice 8 and 9 with a partner. It will be a pairwork so I will only receive a writing piece from each pair.

3) Complete Unit 9 excluding worksheet 2 from EL Homework Book.

I want all the class work to be handed in on Monday.

Thanks!
