MS Students: Homework for March 1, 2008

Hi there students! Sorry to be a bit slow to post these. For your GEPT oral practice, please follow the instructions below.
  • First, speak your Chinese name and your "seat number" and "test number" aloud (make these numbers up).
  • Next, read the first six items aloud, corresponding to part 1 of the oral exam:
  1. Come into the kitchen and fix yourself a sandwich.
  2. The computer has been broken for about a week.
  3. Tilly, please type these reports for me, will you?
  4. The mule deer lives in the forests of North America.
  5. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
  6. In the evening, Tommy went back to the supermarket to try again with the manager. He knew that if he could get a job as bag boy there, his money troubles would soon be over and he could buy that ring for Florence. Then they could get married and have a beautiful family. What a happy time that would be! Yes, he thought to himself, let me try once more. Let me do it for Florence!
  • Next, listen to this audio file, which contain parts 2 and 3 of the oral exam.

Thanks! We will discuss these in class and get some more practice on Saturday, as well as introducing some English idioms.

Chris
