Module6 Task1 Part2: S2 or SE2?

[Preedaporn Thapthong]

Dear Our Administrative Teacher

For task1, part2 of the worksheet in module 6. Question number 8 said,
...
If you travel from Saigon to Hue on the S2 line, how long will your journey take?
...
In the article of this task, text2, there is nothing about the S2 line, is it "the SE2 line"? Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
Preedaporn Thapthong

Yes, you are right, it should be SE2. Thanks for pointing that out!

Here's an additional tip about Module 6. You are asked to answer a certain number of questions in each section (for example, 8 out of 10). If you go ahead an answer ALL the questions, we will only grade the first eight, or whatever number is required, and ignore your answers for the remaining ones. This means that it's worth thinking about which answers you are most confident about, and then making sure you answer those instead of others that are less clear for you. Good luck on Task 4!

Dear Ajarn Chrish

Thank you for your answer. It is clear now.
But may I ask more about task 4 in module 6?
...
In worksheet for team task. Part1's direction said "here it is acceptable to use the same words as in the text."
How about part 2 and 3? There is nothing about using the same words as in the text. May I copy and paste the text from Text 1 and 2 in my team's worksheet(part 2 and 3)?

Sincerely yours,
Preedaporn Thapthong

The important thing is to answer the question. For Part 1, if you simply find the year in question and insert the sentence that it appears in as your answer, there's really no evidence that you've actually understood the text. Thus you are liable to receive half credit at best. But if you restate the answer so that it really answers the question, you're much more likely to get full credit. Our point is that when you do this, you don't have to worry about paraphrasing (which is something we encourage you to do in many assignments for writing courses.)

This also applies to Parts 2 and 3. Note that for Part 3 you don't need to write in full sentences. For the questions that ask for a price or time, simply write the number.

Hope that helps!
