Hi. Good morning. So first of all, are there any junior parents today?
大家早上好,首先今天在座的有低年級父母嗎
Welcome. Welcome. I'm so glad you are here.
歡迎,歡迎,非常高興你們能來
I'm even gladder you weren't here on Tuesday.
我更高興你們周二沒有來
So just... just... Just a couple of announcements.
我……要先宣布一點事
Yeah, you know, I was asking myself after Tuesday, "are they ever going to take me seriously again?"
周二之后我一直問自己:他們以后還會不會認真聽我的話了
I hope so. Or "will they love me tomorrow?"
我希望如此。或者他們明天還會喜歡我嗎
So just a couple of announcements.
好了,還是先宣布點事情吧

First, there are many emails regarding the response papers,
首先,我收到很多關于論文的郵件
whether the gratitude letters that you write, you also need to submit to your, to your TF, as the response paper. So the answer is yes and no.
你們寫的感謝信也需要提交給你們的助教,作為論文,所以我的回答既不肯定也不否定
Alright, next. Yes! You do need to submit it. However,
好了,也就是,對,你得提交。不過
if the letter is too personal or you don't feel comfortable for any reason submitting to your TF as well,
如果那封信過于私人,或者由于任意原因你不太愿意提交給你的助教
just send your TF a note saying "I wrote the letter" and we will take your word for it.
就直接給助教發"我寫了那封信",我們會信任你的
And... so you don't have to submit it, though it would be great if you do.
所以不是一定要提交,雖然最好是能提交
The midterm is coming up in a week and a half. So just a couple of words about the midterm.
一個半禮拜之后就要期中考,所以關于期中考我說幾句
What we have decided to do is to just have a multiple choice midterm.
我們打算期中考只出選擇題
