Assignment
I'd like to ask all of you to take your essays home and finish them up. Originally, I had hoped we could complete them during our class time, but I've come to realize that it's just not realistic. So, it's best to give you the opportunity to work on them at your own pace outside of class.
最後
請各位同學回去把作文寫完，下次交上來。
我本來是要請同學在課堂上完成作文，但後來發現根本寫不完，有進度壓力。只好讓他們帶回去寫。
