your dictionary.

Last class, we talked about ethics and

morality (moral).

1.     Ethics are the rules from the society. Like

laws. No killing, stealing, don’t set your neighbor’s

house on fire, etc.

2.      Morality (moral) are the rules you give yourself, like

being honest, not greedy, reliable, etc.

GEPT is 20% of your grade. You need

it to graduate.

Cross out the wrong answers to

C just because he goes to class does not mean he

participates. Maybe he is sleeping or on his phone.

Get rid of D also. Why? Maybe he does participate,

but he does NOT study at home.

17. I heard that Justin was being naughty in

class. How did his teacher punish him? 

A. Justin is well-behaved, not naughty. He did a good job. X

D. Apology is to say “sorry.” Recess is to take a break

school.

 

18. Leslie always rolls up her pant legs

when the weather gets hot.
