ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Happy New Year to everyone.
I've just tried the excercise and I think that it's really challenge,isn't it?
Because of the teacher's comment (Give it another try) I've supossed that another excercise might have been linked but, I can't find it, Could anyone help me?
Dear Jose,
DeleteFYI, no other links are attached.
I suggested that you gave it another try just in case you didn't do it conscientiously and carefully enough.
I am happy you found the activity 'really CHALLENGING'!
