Fun quizzes

Hey, class! I just took a quiz called "Which type of shoe are you?" and my result was a flip flop. I guess I like flip flops in the summer, but I prefer shoes that are good for walking, like sneakers. But my results also said that I like comfort and simplicity, which is true. Also, the quiz gives you many choices, which I like. Still, I'm just not that crazy about flip flops or the beach ;).

Important Information on Grades

In case you weren't in class last week or lost your notebook, here are the exam dates and percentages.

• October 9: oral midterm (20%)
• November 27: final written exam (20%)
• December 11: final oral exam (25%)
• Continuous Oral Assessment (class participation): 35%

Notice that the oral sections have the highest percentages--that's because speaking is very important. Reading, writing, and understanding English is great--unless you can't communicate with people on the street :).
