While the teacher was establishing the classroom rules
at the beginning of the school year, he seized the opportunity to draw the
students’ attention to the importance of doing homework in time. He clearly stated that “Any student who
fails to do homework has to write an apology e-mail giving at least three

substitute for the homework, and it will be corrected and graded”. As the
students hate writing, they decided never to forget about their homework whatever
it takes. And that’s exactly what the teacher aimed at.

easy receptive exercise. The students have only to fill in the blanks with the
appropriate adverb of degree, and it goes something like this,
*// Fill in the blanks with “too” or “enough”
appropriately
1. This exercise is _______ easy to do.
2. I think Mr. Baker is good ________ for the job.
3. The workers don’t work quickly ___________
4. John is _______ smart to be fooled.
5. The manager is ________ busy to meet you today.
