Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Jerson,

Usted hablo mucho sobre paises comunistas. La Union Europea no tenia o tiene en el presente ninguno pais comunista. La Union Sovietica era "comunista".

Chernobyl no es una isla pero si una planta de energia nuclear y petroleum y oil son la misma cosa!

Gran tabajo!

Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Joemar,

Please pay attention the correct spelling of the word "VOCABULARY" (VOCABULARIO).

Usted tiene que escribir con mas calma. Hay mucho errores basicos! Escriba en Microsof Word y duespues "cut and paste" la proxima vez. Palabras como "GROUP" and "COUNTRY".

Part A vocabulary words are correct, but there isn't lots of thinking. TAKE YOUR TIME and THINK and WRITE more!

PART B

There are problems with your definition of river system.

Why did Chernobyl explode? Mas una vez usted no escribio mucho!

PART C

COMMUNITY! What is nationalism? Your definition of a dictator is not complete! Thinking questions?

Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Jose,

Usted no tenia que copiar las preguntas de la seccion "THINKING". "Many" en espanol es VARIOS. "Poison" en espanol es veneno. La definicion de urbano "urban" es incompleta! Que causo la explosion en Chernobyl? Tenia que discutir e analisar mas sobre como la radiacion de Chernobyl affecta los paises Europeos.

PART C?
