Hi again! This week, we鈥檒l purely focus on writing with adjective clauses. First, you鈥檒l learn about your writing assignment: to write a paragraph about a favorite restaurant--again! You did this in Week 1, but this time, you鈥檙e going to write a new paragraph that shows off everything you鈥檝e learned in this course. After you write, you鈥檒l compare the two paragraphs, and I think you鈥檙e going to see just how much more advanced your writing is now--thanks to adjective clauses. Finally, you鈥檒l end the course by evaluating another learner鈥檚 use of adjective clauses. Good luck!
