IZBMI - Homework for Tuesday, November 12

UPDATE ON KRISPY KREME: https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/05/us/krispy-kreme-minnesota-trnd/index.html

1) Don't forget to do your FERNSTUDIUM.  That means do ENGLISH ACTIVITIES (watch videos/films/series, read articles/books/recipes, speak English online or with tourists, etc) and WRITE about them in your ACTIVITY JOURNAL (at least 100 words per entry).  You are expected to write at least one of these entries a WEEK.  Don't wait until the last minute.  The idea behind this is that you write, you get feedback, you note the mistakes you make and the next time you write a better text. 

2) Do present simple tense and routines in the TOPICS book (pages 24-26). For extra practice, read about the present simple on page 77 of the workbook, and do exercises on page 34-39.  Or practice here: https://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/simple-present, Level One, Level 2, Level 3

3) You got a worksheet during the lesson: Practice your tenses!  You will write 25 sentences in different tenses using different words.  If you didn't get this worksheet, send me an email:  frauprofessorsandrock@gmail.com and I'll send you a copy.

4) You also got a handout about "How to Write E-Mails/Letters."  On page 21 of your topics book, you will find an e-mail from Brenda.  Write a reply to her, using the Kennzeichen eines E-Mails/Briefes.  Since you have English input, you may write this letter in your Activity Journal.
