Dear Professor Garreis,

Thank you for your reply and corrections of my English.

I will answer your last questions.

 

《 Homework 》

1.A
 　Find a stock price quotation of Applied Materials from Yahoo!Finance.
 　To find a stock price quote on Yahoo Finance,
 　　(1)go to the main page

 　　(2)enter the stock symbol, AMAT, at the top of the page in the space that looks like this:
 　　Symbol Lookup Finance Search

  Do NOT enter the stock symbol on this lesson page.
 　　(3)Click the "Get Quotes" button.

　　→　Yes, I was able to do it as above.

Good!


1.B.
Tell me:
 (1)the date of the quote,
 (2)the time of the quote and
 (3)the stock price.

　　→　(1)　The date is October 31.
      　 (2)　It is 11:40 in time.
　　　 　（3）　The stock price is $12.08.

In English, we use a dot to divide the dollars and cents.  In Japanese, you use a comma.

1.C.
Find any other source on the web for an Applied Materials stock price quote.
List the URL for your source.

　　→　Yes, I found this website.
http://www.marketwatch.com/quotes/amat?dist=sp_inthis

Good.


2.
A.　Tell me the stock price quote that you found.

　　→　The stock prices are $12,08 too.

B.　Is it the same as the one listed on the company's web site at
 　http://www.appliedmaterials.com/financial/Stock_Quote_main.html?

　　→　Yes, it was the same stock prices.

C.　If the quotes have different prices, why do you think they are different?

　　→　It was the same this time.

　　　　　I think the different prices are casused by a time lag.

Correct!


3.How easy was this lesson for you?

　　→　The accounting was somewhat hard.
　　　　The English was somewhat hard.
　　　　Getting to and using the linked web pages was somewhat easy.

I am sorry these lessons are so hard for you. Thank you for working so hard on them.

I'm waiting for your reply.

Sincerely, yours

Michi
