personally.
This week, you will put together a

expect you to do your own writing. ChatGBT can write it for you in one second. That
won’t challenge or help you.

On the presentation days, you will
tell the class about this person and why you admire them. You will come to the

starting today. We will take some time in the next few classes to organize,
write, and polish.
Write- You should write this by
yourself. ChatGPT can write it for you in one second. This will not help your
English.
