I have a bad cold today.
So,I'll be absent from school.Sorry...
But I hope I'll update my blog once more in several days.
Could you tell me about how do you grade our academic results?
Last week,I was late for class. I couldn't ask about it.
Chapter12
Thanks! I'm sorry to hear about your cold. I hope you feel better soon.
返信削除One thing I noticed today is that the definition you listed for "barrel" does not fit the context. In this case, "barrel" means "a large curved container with a flat top and bottom, made of wood or metal." There is a picture of a "barrel" in Longman.
In regard to your grade. The quality of your work as been excellent. The only thing I'm not sure about is the quantity. If you can come to class next week, I'd like to ask you about how much time you have spent and how far you have read in the book. If you cannot come to class, we can communicate about this through e-mail.
Thank you,Mr.Masden.
返信削除Now I feel better than last week.

I brought up the image of the gun with "musket" .
I will go to class tomorrow.So we can talk about it.
Thanks for your response. I'm looking forward to seeing you in class.
