Reading Quiz 3 available

I have just sent everybody an e-mail with the link to the third (and last) reading quiz. I had experienced technical problems which prevented me from posting the quiz before.

Here's the link, in case you are ready to take the quiz: http://www.quia.com/quiz/1193664.html

I'll repeat my conditions here:

1. You can use both bilingual and monolingual dictionaries, your Focus on Reading book, and your Reading Selections book.

2. The exam will be available until Tuesday at 3:00 pm. It takes 1 hour and 20 minutes. So take this into account. Do not log in on Tuesday at 2:30 to take it!

3. You will have two chances to take this exam. For example, you can take it the first time and write down your grade and those things that you know you have to improve. Then you can study or discuss these things with classmates. When you are ready, you can take the exam again. I will take the best grade of the two. If you just want to take the exam once, that's OK, too.

4. Turn this exam into a learning opportunity: if you decide to discuss the exam with classmates, make sure to learn something from the discussion (a word, an expression, a reading strategy, etc.). And learn it not only for the exam, but for the rest of your life! (Please do not bother your classmates or friends just to ask them for the answer to a question. I am NOT encouraging cheating.)

Do your best and good luck!
