Error in Listening Text
Sorry to those of you in HUM class.
Yesterday when we were going through the announcements I made an error. The flight is heading to Toronto NOT Mexico on page 116. There is a layover in Vancouver. Passengers who are flying to Mexico need to proceed to gate 87. The others are either staying in Vancouver or leaving for Toronto.
Sorry ( I guess my illness got to my head)

Speaking Midterm (Trip to Seoul)
Hey guys,
Here are some tips for the speaking midterm. Make sure you change up the grammar tense.
You can use:
-past (went)
-future (will go/going to go)
-conditional ( would)
-should (advice) should arrive, shouldn't be a problem
-reported speech (said/told) The man at the counter told us to...He said, it's the best thing to see in Seoul.
Try to at least use each of these if you can.

Travel Agents Mid term
Spring Semester
Freshman Speaking Exam
Mid-term Test
Introduction
The Freshman Speaking Exam is in the form of an assignment and is worth 20% of your final grade.
In groups of four to five. You are travel agents and must plan an imaginary trip/short vacation for your teacher anywhere in the world or here in Korea. The trip will be for four or five days.
(I would prefer you research a different country than your own but if you do choose to do your assignment on Korea include some detailed information.)
Requirements
Research You must research/find out and present to the teacher:
1) which places she should visit;
2) what kind of trip this is (package tour, all-inclusive) Explain your choice.
3) what sights she will see;
4) how she will get around (taxi, bus etc);
5) what kind of meals she will eat;
6) how much money will she need (in dollars or won);
7) what kind of schedule will she follow.
Be creative and use props to convince me that this is the place that I should go. Remember you are an agent and will get commission by selling me this trip. You can use props but there will be no reading from cue cards.
Evidence. All this information (and additional information if you like) must be provided in a written report with photographs/pictures (one per group). The faster the rough copy is turned in the faster it will be checked and edited for grammatical errors.
Formal Presentation Present the information to me in class along with the photographs. You will be graded on the five to six-minute formal presentation as well as the quality of the evidence. You must demonstrate your organizational and communication skills. Each member of the group must have a chance to speak. You work as a group but will be individually assessed.
Plagiarism: You have several weeks to prepare your mid-term exam. If there is any plagiarism in your mid-term exam you will receive a grade of zero (and possibly a course failure). Please, write your own sentences for your presentation.

Absences
Absences: There are two kinds of absences: excused and un-excused.
Excused Absences are absences for a good reason such as a doctor’s appointment, a military physical or a death in the family. All excused absences must have a note to be excused. You must give me a note within one week after being absent. After one week, I will not accept a note.
Un-excused absences are everything else. Any absence from class without a note is an un-excused absence.
Classroom Policies
1) This an English Language Class. I will deduct participation points for excessive Korean speaking.
2) Homework: Late homework will not be accepted unless I am given a valid excused absence form.
3) No cell phones. The first time a cell phone is heard it will be taken for one week. The second time a cell phone is heard it will be taken for the rest of the semester.
4) Come prepared for class. Come prepared each week with your textbook, the same notebook and all class handouts.
5) Ask questions. Asking questions is the best way to learn about things you don’t understand.
6) No plagiarism (표절). DO NOT copy from the internet, newspapers, magazines, books or other students. Copying other people’s work is plagiarism. It is both ethically wrong and illegal. Any amount of plagiarism on either the mid-term exam or final exam will result in a grade of zero on your exam.
7) No food in the classroom. Drinks are fine.
