AOU Film Festival

Dear all

I would like to urge you all to attend the Film Festival hosted by the English Literary Club tomorrow at our university from 11 to 5 (Do not miss class though :p)

It is going to be full of fun and creativity. I am sure you will enjoy it immensely. 

P.S. Try to dress red-carpet-appropriate ;)

End of course post

Dear students,

I know it's a little bit late, but I just want to take the time to CONGRATULATE those of you who have passed the course! You have done a tremendous job and I'm so very proud of you!

I also want to THANK YOU for the wonderful time that we spent in class together. You made getting up at 7 in the morning actually exciting sometimes :'). You made the classroom a happy and comfortable place to which you'd always want to come back. 

I couldn't be more grateful for the sweet messages that I received from some of you! Nothing makes me happier (as a teacher and as a person) than when I know that I have made a difference in your life or inspired you in any possible way. Be sure that I'll always support you and help you in anything that I can.


I hope I could at least give you something nice to remember
I miss you already

Sincerest wishes,
Ms. Tasneem Solie

The Present Perfect Tense

Dear students,

Please make sure that you study the present perfect tense and that you know the difference between all the English tenses that you have studied so far. I have found these two videos on YouTube that I think will be very useful for you. They are a bit long but they include everything you need to know and more

Part 1

Part 2

Exercise:

Make negative to these sentences:

•I have studied Philosophy.

•My sister has improved her English.

•They have visited Greece many times.

Make wh- questions

oThey have been to Europe 5 times.

oShe has learned to play the guitar at school.

oI have left my umbrella in the kitchen

oMy friend has 3 cats at home.

Do not hesitate to share any questions you may have.

Best of luck!
