Making Inferences: Some Extra Practice
http://testprep.about.com/od/englishlanguagetests/a/Inference.htm
Read the article about inferences and then see if you understand the implied meaning in the statements which follow. You can check your answers.
*"Flipping the bird" is an idiom which means the same thing as "giving the finger." When we say "giving the finger," you know we mean the middle finger.
I hope you enjoyed my little inference presentation in class today!

Hi Everybody!
Hello 5A and 5B,
I hope everything is going well. I miss you and I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday morning. Until then, I want to remind you about going to Call Lab in the morning tomorrow (Monday) to do your student evaluations. Please make sure to be on time for this. It is very important for your teachers and the LCC to receive your feedback so that we can continue to improve the program in the future.
Also, I understand that you are a few days behind on the schedule. Consequently, we will begin presentations on Thursday. On Wednesday I will talk to you about what's expected and give you help if you need it. Please think about what you're planning to do.
Please keep reading Holes. We will discuss Holes 21-30 on Wednesday and then 31-40 on Friday. I will give you a vocabulary test on Friday.
Finally, 5B--I might be late on Wednesday morning. I have a 6 a.m. flight that gets in to Houstonat 7:30. I should make it to class by 8:30 but please wait for me if I'm late.
Again, I look forward to seeing you in a few days,
HC
