    • Thank you, Jackie. So, tomorrow I can ask you to help with those words your classmates do not understand, right?! I am happy to see that. ;-)

    • Tian Jing, I don't know what you are doing wrong. This happens every week it looks like to me! There is a window below the original post for comments. You click in it and start typing. When you have finished, you click on the small block at the bottom right with the words, "Add Reply" and wait till the website registers your comment. And as soon as you see your comment again, you have done it! Is that what you do?

      Have you asked Liu Yufan to assist you, or one of your roommates? As I said on qq, I can't see what you do and therefore I can't help you. Just be more careful when you do the comment, I think. Try again pse. You must get it right if your classmates can do it!

    • Cai Mengtao, junk food is not necessarily harmful to one's health. It depends on how frequently one eats fast food. I can't believe that it can harm one if only eating a few times a month. As long as one frequently eats healthy food too.

    • I hope you have not only 'seen' the lesson content, Tan Jingping, but also 'know' the content (have now good knowledge about)! But you are so thin, you need to eat junk food for many years to risk getting fat ..! :)

    • Thank you, Linlin. I hope you have taken note of the content of the attachment as it would make tomorrow's class more understandable to you. Btw, I don't believe all junk food is unhealthy; it depends how much and how frequently one eats that. If there is moderation with eating junk food, I think it can still be enjoyed.

    • Thank you. But Jiang Chunyu, did you really familiarize yourself with the lesson content? It is easy to say what the lesson is about by looking at the heading and others comments ... but do you all KNOW the content of the lesson? I am very sceptic about that! Don't blame the teacher when the class don't make progress in their language skills this semester.

  • Good afternoon,teacher! I have known that tomorrow's lesson is a mini debate about junk food sales in schools.As my classmates replied , sometimes we will eat some junk food  because it is delicious . Of course,we shouldn't eat it too much or too often .There is much junk food in our school's store.It's not good for our health.And about this topic ,different people have different views.Tomorrow we will talk a lot about it.

    • Thank you, Liu Yufan. If you read some of the comments, you know by now what my opinion is. I am just concerned that the students again comment as if they've read through the lesson material (the attachment), but they might have only 'looked' at it without reading thoroughly. If they don't do that, they would again not understand much of tomorrow's lesson. The teacher must not be blamed at the end of the semester for that. Students have to familiarize themselves with the content of each lesson before the class. This website and the lesson posts every week provide that opportunity. But I guess you all understand that by now.  

    • Yes,teacher.I think we can get a lot of information and skills from this lesson's material. We need to use the words and the expressions correctly in tomorrow's class to debate as much as possible.It's a way for us to improve our English.It's very important.I will explain this to our classmates.    :)
