To practice writing, make corrections to your Letter of Advice in Google Docs
In Memrise, I will use your score today to replace one during an earlier week. In this way you can review vocabulary for the Final Exam, and it will count toward work missed in one previous week.
Every week until your final exam week 24, you earn an Independent Study mark for Vocabulary practice in MEMRISE
You should have 5000 points by Sunday June 12.
This will be the last of 7 marks to make up your independent learning score (10%)
In class this period the teacher showed the students their average marks and how they would appear if they worked on Memrise this period or didn't. All students took advantage of the opportunity to improve their independent learning scores.
Due to their hard work I told them that if they wanted work on Memrise at some point Monday they could do that and I would use that score to replace one during an earlier week. In this way they would get more practice for the Final Exam, and their effort would count toward work missed in one previous week.

Here is your new writing assignment, similar to what you will have to write on your mid-term next week
You can use the two model writing assignments, written to these prompts
Here is is a model answer to example writing task 1 above
Dear Sir / Madam,
My name is Xxx Yyy and I am one of your pilots. I became a member of your team in 2004. I fly all over the world and last week, you sent me to Madeira, which is an island in Portugal. But, there were several problems while I was landing.
First, the runway at the Madeira Airport is very short. It is very dangerous because it is close to the sea and the mountains. It is very difficult to land there. Secondly, there are many goats on the island and they sometimes run onto the runway. Finally, the ATCs speak very bad English. You cannot understand them at all.
I think it will be a very good idea if Etihad Airways stops its flights to Madeira immediately. I also think you should write a letter to the Portuguese authorities and tell them to make their airport better.
Yours sincerely,
On your mid-term writing task, you will be given a paper similar to this one. You will have to write the letter without help from others.
When you have completed that you may work on Memrise wordlist Unit 3 B
Target = 5000 points by Sunday, May 29

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.
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?
8. What does Finnair request to do at the intersection and why? Is the request approved or denied? Why?
