Mon 22/10/2012 Reduced Noun clause

Dear all,


Hi, how are you? well.. i hope that u will not be as tired as me now :), i have lots of HW lately, btw here are the materials that we've learned on Monday, Oct 22nd, 2012 :

1. Review Vocab
2. Review Grammar - Reduced Noun Clause
3. Act F, F1 --> list down a technological advancement and its benefits
4. Thesis Statement

REDUCED NOUN CLAUSE

A Noun clause may appear in REDUCED form 

1. In informal style, reduced NOUN CLAUSE is achieved by omitting the subordinate conjunction THAT

ex :
He believes that the medicine will definitely cure his illness. <-- COMPLETE
He believes the new medicine will definitely cure his illness. <-- REDUCED ('that' is omitted)

2. Reduced noun clause often use to  infinitives (  to + verb 1)

a. Such a noun clause is usually the OBJECT derived from a QUESTION
 ex :
She doesn't know how She can answer the question. <-- COMPLETE
She doesn't know how TO ANSWER the question <-- REDUCED

b.After a verb of URGENCY ( advise, ask, beg, require, urge, recommend, etc)
ex:
The doctor advised her that the instruction for the  new medication  be read first. <-- COMPLETE
The doctor advised her TO READ the instruction for the new medication first. <--- REDUCED

That's all for now, don't forget that on Wednesday, we'll discuss about argumentative essay and then you have to write a 300 words argumentative Essay :), see u on Wednesday !


Cheers,

Introduction !

Hi all!

sorry for hijacking your 'today i am not going to anything' time by opening this blog and reading my message , but i do really need your cooperation this term since all lessons that we're going to learn together are considering as 'not easy' materials, and we don't have sufficient time to discuss them at our 5-7 pm class as we've only approximately 90 minutes per each lesson.

By the way, there are 5 lessons in your student book plus 1 class project and we have only 18 sessions to cover them all, so in average 1 lessons should be done within 3 sessions at maximum because 1 session will be used for the 'movie' right? :)

I also will require you to send your home work or assignment to my e-mail (renti_ruth@yahoo.com),all home works and assignments for lesson 1-3 should be handed out to me at Periodic Test 1 at the latest. and periodic test 2 will be the due date for HWs and assignments for lesson 4-6.

Class starts on 1 October 2012, and "China And the 21st Century" is the title of our first lesson. You may open this link http://backcountryroads.blogspot.com/2011/01/china-1980-to-today.html if you want to know more about China.

In case you need to ask something, please feel free to text me on my phone or directly leave your message in this blog.


Wish u all the best for this term!
