The paper should be double-spaced and include a title.  Your name should be at the top right of the first page...  and your last name followed by a page number at the top right of the next page.  (Gokara, 2) 
 
We will focus on articles, sentence structure, sentence patterns, prepositions,& commas
in our next few sessions.  Then we will build on these fundamentals.  ..

Let me know what your interests may be.  Some of my students are interested in Jazz, and others focus on Finance and Business Administration.  If you plan to attend a local university, are training for a career, or are upgrading your credentials and skills...  perhaps I can provide specific resources to assist you in these aspirations and goals.  I have developed resources on Turkey, Iran, and other places for my students.  I currently am developing a resource on Korean Culture...   
You can look up these vocabulary words in a dictionary and/or thesaurus.  Check their pronunciation if necessary.  Use each word properly in a sentence..   Be sure to take note of what part of speech the word is.  And be prepared to tell me what the word means.
