Whiz-kid at Blue Bermitz - Writing
20231111-12ach
You are a teacher at Blue Bermitz, a prestigious international school in Moscow. You have scheduled a meeting with the parents of Chang, a Chinese whiz-kid, because he has not handed in his homework for the 3rd consecutive time.

Nobody shows up at the meeting. You haven't been given notice of any early advance cancellation, nor any reasons for their absence...

Write a letter to Chang's parents.
(use the same googledoc as previously)
~ 250 words
→ deadline: 20231115
→ remember: you don't know how well his parents speak English!
(Chang, however, spent 3 years in San Francisco before moving to Russia with his parents)
→ use Richard T.Lewis' 'What the British say and mean and what foreigners understand' table to grade your language in an unambiguous way
 Zoom session video recordings
Please note:
→ video files will be available for ~ 2 weeks after each completed lesson
→ if some recordings are missing in one group (due to Zoom crashing or simply forgetting), you may find them in the other group
→ you may find the 'ach count' (academic hours) a more reliable way to identify files than by just looking at the date
e.g. cmt231mz-20231014-6ach ↔ cmt232mz-20231021-6ach
→ watching video files on-line may result in poor audio quality, you may want to download the files first
