Memorandum（备忘录） To: Members of all departments From: Annette Derringer Subject: Year-end party Date: November 26 |
This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party. As you know, the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the evening of December 21st. 1 have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you have not let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company. The manager of Green Vale has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles, so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool（拼车）as much as possible. Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try to keep belongings to a ,minimum. Thanks in advance, Annette |

Annette, I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on December 21st although I do not think I will be able to arrive before 7:30. I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests. I know it is a bit of a last-minute request, but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time, and they would love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then could you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming this is OK, we are planning to drive down in a single car to reduce the need for paring and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the ear. I will have a couple of days off before the party, and I will not be in my office December 17th, so could you get back to me before then? Thanks a lot, Kyle |

Dear members,
It is a great honor to speak here for our English club,which was formed two month ago.I'm also gladly that our club has held series of activities including offering services to the visitors to the Expo.As the Expo received a great many of visitors,it required helpers with a good command of English.On hearing the call,all members devote all their time to serve others.Not only did many improve his basic skills but improved communication between Chinese but western people.

A few changes about how a teacher runs a classroom can make a huge effect on how concentrated students will be in that classroom.It's an issue every teacher has to face,1.Here are just a few of my strategies.
●Rearrange（重新安排）Seats.
I did the seat rearrangement because class conversation had become dull,and students just seemed to be there but not actually there.2.I had all of my students pick new seats at the tables.The rules were simple.They could not sit with more than one other person they'd already sat with,and it had to be at a different table.
●Take over A Lesson.
Once in a while,it can be fun to let the students take over a lesson in a unit.Let them become the teachers,and the teacher becomes the student.You can provide the topic they need to cover.3.
●Have Open Projects.
Open projects have been very successful in my class.4.I used to dictate every part of my project assignments.Students would ask to do things a little differently.And I'd give in,surprised that their ideas were better than mine.
●5.
Sometimes teachers forget to bring the fun to the classroom.We try so hard to cover the courses for our students until they break down.Sometimes it's good to just set things aside for a day or two and have some fun.
A.Have fun.
B.Listen carefully.
C.But it can be solved in some very simple ways.
D.Let the students choose the topic and teach whatever they want.
E.It's one of the simplest ways to rearrange a class and get things going again.
F.They get to deal with the material in a way that is refreshing and new to them.
G.I've found that the more choices I gave my students, the better the projects have been
