Open F2F Class Notes _13th June (Harmony)

Bibliography:  at the end of your writing, you list where all the information came from.  Authors name, article name, website/book name…etc.

Plagiarism:  stealing someone’s work/writing “word for word” (copy and paste).

Review:

Plural (plure – ull) – only used for grammar.  To pluralize something.

Eg.  Bird/birds

Action speaks louder than words – don’t talk about doing something, just do it/show me, don’t tell me

Eg.  After a tragedy, actions speak louder than words. = saying nice words on wechat moments doesn’t do anything… donating money will help.

I’ll believe it, when I see it.

Eg.  My husband always tells me that he will do the dishes before I get home.  So I tell him “I’ll believe it when I see it” = because…. He always promises that, but never does it!!!

Eg.  My daughter always tells me that she will not watch cartoons, I’ll be it when I see it.

I will apply the expense by the form in the next time – I will apply with the ‘expense form’ next time.  / I will apply with the proper form next time. / I will follow the proper procedure next time to apply for it/  I will apply with the SAPPO next time.

Original:

I wrote a fictional story using the words which I learned these past several days.
Making a dramatic movie is my singular dream, and in order to realize my dream, I found a job as a director assistant in a movie company. At the beginning, I worked with a technician to learn how to correct use some professional equipments. Then I read some standard files to guide my behavior which made me looks like a real director. The other part of job description was helping director to coordinate some things in the crew. Though the help from team members and my own efforts, I have made a lot of progress and I feel that I am approaching my dream.
