Dear Student,
I would like to draw your attention to the following three issues:
1. Academic Reading and Writing 1 course students will write a test this week. The test will be basically related to the academic vocabulary that we revised and practised in class. In addition, there will be a few questions about research, plagiarism, vocabulary and essay writing (there was a PowerPoint presentation in class; see information in 2. - given below). To make your test more successful, I strongly advise you to study the vocabulary in some of the situations and sentence examples that are given below (click on each word and study the sentences; each word description and sentence examples will open in a new page; please note that you will be required to write your own sentences during the test):
