This is the link for the TOEIC Book and CDs.
We will be using the second half of the book on SPEAKING and WRITING.

Each week I will also assign work on the PEARSON web page. It isn’t much work, but it is good
preparation.

Until the second week of October we need to have a schedule that is the following:
Monday 20.30 - 22.00

Thursday 19.00 – 20.30 and 20.45-22.15

ask questions.
Please when you aren’t speaking, MUTE, your microphone so that there isn’t extra
noise during class.
If you want, you can send me a message on WhatsApp +56972169471 with you

any outside class time.

•"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" (Alice in Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll)

•"The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we
will be."(Martin Luther King, Jr.)

•"I set up the checkerboard and explained how the pieces are placed and how they
move." (Herbert Kohl, The Herb Kohl Reader: Awakening the Heart of Teaching. The
New Press, 2013)

•"I live in New York, and I was thinking about the lagoon in Central Park, down near
Central Park South. I was wondering if it would be frozen over when I got home, and if
it was, where did the ducks go? I was wondering where the ducks went when the
lagoon got all icy and frozen over. I wondered if some guy came in a truck and took
them away to a zoo or something. Or if they just flew away." (J.D. Salinger, The
Catcher in the Rye, 1951)
1.The embedded question should be preceded by a comma.

2.The first word of an embedded question is capitalized only when the question is long
or has internal punctuation. A short informal embedded question begins with a
lowercase letter.

3.The question should not be in quotation marks because it is not a piece of dialogue.

4.The question should end with a question mark because it is a direct question.
