Midterm recommendations are in an interim report.
We are halfway through the course. We still have four weeks.
The focus for the next four weeks will be to continue tom improve our sentence writing. This is the highest priority for students who want to go on the higher-level classes.
Simple
Compound
Complex
- adverb clause
- adjective clauses
- noun clauses
If you can learn these types of sentences, you can do anything you want in English: high school, college, job, etc.
We should learn this now – don’t wait.
Don’t give up. Keep working. Keep going. It will get better with careful practice.

I will be teaching EF5/6 in the summer.
My class goes from 8:30-12:00
Summer will be online.
Summer classes run from July 2 – August 5
What we will do is very similar to what we are doing now.
We will meet online Monday-Friday and have a class that runs about 90 minutes. Then I will give you some work to do as homework. We will likely meet 8:30-10:00 or 9:00-10:30. It depends on what we decide as a class.
For example, for this course today, usually the class is 11:00-1:15. What we have been doing is meeting online for one hour, from 11:00-12:00.
My classes tend to fill quickly, so if you want to take EF5/6 with me, sign up as soon as possible.
We’ll have a fun time.
tend to – usually do
