  21. I really appreciate all your hard work,
    but I still have to remind you to read carefully the directions and requirements before you start doing your homework!

    As in the 2nd vocabulary hunting,
    you're supposed to offer both Chinese definition and example sentences in addition to the words themselves.

    And it's perfectly okay to reach me at wendychangnchu@gmail.com when you cannot understand any of the assignments.
