Should race (or ethnicity) be a factor in deciding your college or university admissions criteria? What do you think?

Official TOEIC Certificates
If you took TOEIC at an official TOEIC center and have a score from them, you need to make two copies, one for me and one for room #109 at GILC. They need to have a copy of your Official TOEIC Certificate as well as me. So don't forget to do both!

Hang in there everyone!!!!
It's already week 9 this week! We're half done and have half more to go so hang in there! If you'd like to come see me about anything, this is the time to do so instead of waiting to have a conversation at the end of the semester. Often times, students come see me at the end of the semester when it's too late. If you are concerned about anything, have questions about your grades, or would like to know how you're doing, please make some time to come talk to me. I'm here to help you!
I will be at the Global Zone this week from 12:30-2:30 waiting to help students. However, if you'd like to come and talk with me during this time, please come and sign up for a time slot before it gets filled. You may even be able to call in advance to reserve a time slot.
I'm really looking forward to having some fun in the next half of the semester! I'm working hard to still learn your names so please be patient with me. Let's let loose and have some fun!

Attention: Midterm questions are open for your viewing!
In an effort to be fair, I have reconsidered and have made the decision to allow everyone to see the midterm questions. Please use it to prepares your supports and such but it should not be used to memorize your answers. I find that students who memorize often do not do well because they often forget what they memorized, pausing to remember.
Also, from the listeners perspective, it's very monotonous and boring because the speech lacks feeling and enthusiasm. Good luck on your exams and see you all next week!!

Please do not send "쪽지" from e-class!
Hi guys and gals!
I hope everything's going well! It's week 7! I just wanted to ask you not to send me a "쪽지" from e-class because I do not check the website everyday. Part of the reason is because everything is written in Korean and I have a hard time navigating through the site since I don't understand it.
If you need to send me a message, please sent it to: sashadaisy123@yahoo.com as I check this e-mail several times a day!
Good luck in your studies!

2nd Writing Assignment (Don't forget to do the 1st writing assignment first)
Living close to Seoul , one of the most populated cities in the world, it’s hard to find people who greet one another
while walking down the street or having someone hold the elevator while you’re
just a few steps away. More
increasingly, everyone desires to express their freedom of self to do what they
wish in public without any regard for others. However, everyone must still get
along and survive in the same community. What, if any, social responsibilities do you
think each person must exercise in order to improve the daily functioning of
our society? Where do you see the biggest need for change in our society? Where
does our individual freedom and expression stop? Where does social
responsibility to the community start?
Remember to use the 5-paragraph essay format. Your essay must include an introduction and a
conclusion paragraph with supporting body paragraphs. Don’t forget to clearly state your thesis
statement, which will help you drive your essay. Also keep in mind that while each paragraph
could stand alone, they also should run smoothly from paragraph to paragraph.
There is no word limit, however, please keep the essay to
one-page! Good luck!

A unique sound by 장기하's 싸구려 커피 (cheap coffee)!!!
We continue to talk about different kinds of music in Unit 2. Listen to this guy who seems very serious but hilariously funny in his lyrics.

-ing and -ed adjectives (participial adjectives)
I hear many students say "I"m boring" but this is incorrect! You are probably "bored" by something or someone so you are actually the receiver of the feeling. The correct way to say this is: "I"m bored (by this movie)."
Just remember this rule:
-ing = the cause of the feeling OR the giver of the feeling.
-ed =the result OR the receiver of the feeling
There's also this great video to help you decipher the differences. Enjoy!
