- Thursday Feb 11 - math test (Pythagoras Theorem, Heron's Formula)

• In order to do well in school, it is important to have good work and study habits

• When comparing two different things:

• On the other hand (compare two opposite things)

 Either

Should March break be cancelled this year?

or

 Will students benefit from a two month summer holiday?

12 to 15 sentences, about 200 words, one paragraph

• Most would like to have the March break

• Students have March break every year. Have been working very hard since early January

• Sad, depressing that students have to go to school non-stop from January till June

• With everything that is happening around the world, we need to take a break and calm down

• More time to volunteer online (e.g. attends hobbies, interest groups)

• Bad for mental health: focus too hard and spend too much time on school work since January

• Need time to relax and chill after a long, cold winter, and has been stuck at home all the time

• During March break, people will hang out with each other. That may spread the virus in a much faster pace

• Kwok is exhausted! I need to sleep, rest, exercise and stay fit during the break

• Ask a question

• It statement

• Start with adverb (Undoubtedly, having a week off during March is a fantastic idea since it is a TDSB tradition for decades)

• Start with conjunction: Although the virus may spread quickly during the break, it is necessary for us to gather only with the people in our household.

• In order to recover quickly, . . .

•  Use less personal pronouns
