Taro: A Most Vile Dish
I talked
about it last time. Let’s talk about it one more time. Grades. I am an easy
teacher. If you come to class every time, you will get a high grade. If you
miss a lot of classes, you will fail this class.
If you do
your homework, I will give you 10/10 every time. I you do not come or write anything, you get
0/10.
Come to
class. If you come to every class, I will give you 20%/20%. Every hour you
miss, I will deduct 1%.
/ = out of
Student 2
already lost 1%. If this student does not come for two hour, he/she loses 2%.
Talk: I have
an American and Canadian accent, not a Taiwanese accent.

rule in this class. Please use a sentence to answer. Why? We can
practice grammar.

year older than you. She was born in 2007.
