“ENGLISH BUILDER”

Completion: At least 50%

Deadline: Before Second Term Exam

 

   

Note:

1.  This is a requirement set by the school. 

2.  Students who fail to complete their work would risk mark penalty in the Second Term Exam.

Form 6 Writing: Cyber Socialising

Write in 450 words.  Deadline: Friday, 22 May 09

 

In the 80s, people kept contact with one another by writing letters and talking on the phone.  With advancement in technology in the modern world, online communication tools, such as email, MSN and Facebook, make communication easier.  People maintain their relationship with others or even make new friends online.  The Internet has simply shortened the distance between people and made instant communication possible.

Write a letter to the editor to the South China Morning Post expressing your opinion about cyber socializing.  Give your own views to this new trend of communication.

The ‘even’ family

How do the following differ from one another?

even

even if

even though

even so

even then

even out

even up

even as

  

Students often have problems differentiating these connectives and use them wrong.

4E did an MC question with the first two as options today. Some of them could not tell the difference and chose the wrong option. I also asked them the difference between ‘even if’ and ‘even though’. They are going to research on these items tonight and tell me more about them tomorrow!

Do you know the difference? Just check ‘even’ from the dictionary and you would learn a lot about all the connectives with ‘even’!
