About the Project

Something you have to keep in mind when you finish this travel planning book:
  • If I catch you copying and pasting entire paragraph, you WILL FAIL this project.
  • Due Tuesday, March 14th. You all turning in all drafts, a checklist which I will distribute on Monday, as well as the final project
  • Since this is "PLANNING" book, you should not used past tense. To indicate events happening in the future, you usually put 会 or 要 in front of verb. Ex. 我十点要去爬长城。
  • Please be mindful of WhoWhenWhereWhat  Chinese word order when you write your sentence. Ex. I will eat my lunch at Quan Ju De at 1 pm. 我(Who)下午一点(When)会在全聚德(Where)吃烤鸭(What
  • Don't over 就. Sentence variety rule also applies in Chinese. If you use it more than 3 times in a sentence, it will sound repetitive.
  • For the Scenic spot poster, think of a promotion line that will attract tourists. It is a PROMOTIONAL poster after all. For example: "不到长城非好汉"  "想到了就去, 长城!" etc.
  • This is my last day in China (or any city) is 这是我在中国(or 北京 上海)的最后一天。

03/01 HW and Quiz on Tomorrow


Email response


李香,
好久没有给你写电子邮件了,近来可好?今年,是我高中的最后一年,五月就要毕业了。最近,常跟我的同学们聊到上大学的事。我的父母也对我要申请的学校也很重视。妈妈觉得离家近的大学又便宜又方便。可是爸爸觉得我应该要到处多看看。
我觉得离家近的大学没有我喜欢的科系,可是有很多好朋友都打算申请那所学校。对我来说,我喜欢的大学虽然离家比较远, 可是有我喜欢的数学系。另外,我的女朋友也打算申请那儿。  
离毕业还有五个月,我不知道要怎么办才好,你可以给我一些建议或看法吗?非常感谢。我想你也快申请学校了,有什么打算呢?来信让我知道一下。


祝 好
小夏
