T he attitude may be as following: it’s useful for us to review and to prepare. Yet too many assignments are a real burden. The teacher has better leave us some space and time to arrange our study. Preparation Activity 2: a letter from College on pp106 what’s Susan’s real purpose to write this letter and how do you know? The letter is intended to tell her mom that everything is OK in school, but money is badly needed. The daughter dots the letter with a lot of $s, the symbol of money, to indicate the real intention of the letter. Obviously, Sudan is asking for money from her mother in a very tricky way. What’s mother’s attitude and tactics to deal with Susan’s trick? It can be seen that the mother has seen through her daughter’s trick. In a similar way she dots her letter with NOs, suggesting that she turns down Susan’s request and encourages her to study hard. 3) What’s your financial case?
