HOMEWORK FOR FEEDBACK

Don't forget that you need to hand in your paragraph for feedback this week. I will email feedback to you before the Easter break so keep a copy for yourself so you can see what I am talking about.
The topic is your daily routine.
Use phrases from the book as well as words and phrases from other sources (internet etc)

About 80-100 characters.

JAPANESE LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE

It is a bit dated but still interesting and relevant.

Week 6

This week the topics were a review of saying where things are in the town, then moving on to talking about future/regular activities and introduction of verbs in the masu form.

See the folder on Blackboard for more infortmation to help you with the verbs and how to form the +masu/masen form.

The masu form is a polite form of the verb which is used in everyday speech, it does not change for person, gender or number, and it is used to express things you do regularly e.g. Mainichi terebi o mimasu I watch TV everyday
As well as things you intend to do in future:
doyobi ni kaimono shimasu I will go shopping on Saturday.

Make sure you read the section in the book carefully as all the grammar is explained there.
