The purpose of the following exercise is to help practice and improve your writing fluency, grammar, and aviation vocabulary
in preparation for your Writing Mid-Term exam next week
Create a Google Doc and share it with VanceStev@gmail.com
Title it your name and ID, Finnair 2115
Your teacher will copy the questions below into your shared document
Answer each question in a complete sentence.
- Incomplete sentences without subjects / verbs will not be marked (zero points)
- Each correct question answered correctly in a complete sentence is worth 10 points
(correct grammar 5 point; correct answer 5 points)
- if your work is mostly the same as someone else’s both students will get a zero
You can do the work on paper but you will get feedback on paper and a mark.
You will not be able to improve your mark.
If you use Google Docs, you will get feedback in the Google Doc
and you can improve your mark by correcting just the errors in the Google Doc.
This is how you will benefit from this exercise
Here are the Questions.
1. Why is the Finnair flight taxiing with caution?
2. Why has SIA 107 lost her slot time?
3. What does SIA 107 think about her new slot time? What request does she make? Is it approved or denied?
5. Does SIA 107 have approval for start-up? Why? or why not?
6. Why is the SIA pilot impatient to start up?
7. Why does Finnair need to hold position?

Answer questions based on those in the textbook at the bottom of p.23. These questions require students to listen to the exchanges in Ex.4 Track 16 and understand what the pilots and ground vehicles were doing. The questions were designed to give students practice writing at sentence level.

- and share it with vancestev@gmail.com
In your Google Doc write COMPLETE SENTENCES to answer these questions.
Say where each vehicle is and what it is doing
Please write your own sentences.
If your work is the same as anyone else's, then you have either given your work to another student or copy / pasted from that student.
I will not waste time with feedback on such work. I will print it and return it to the students.
I will keep copies in my file. All students involved get zero.
