For homework this week:
>To help keep me straight, I will state that this is the homework from lesson 2.
1. I usually write my messages on Sunday evening in Arnold MD. When I am finished, it isearly Monday afternoon in Chiba. When do you first check for my reply to your message? Tell me the day of the week and what time of day you check.
I usually check on Monday night.
>Thank you.
2. Visit America's largest telecommunications company, AT&T. Click here for a recent pressrelease. AT&T designed new cruise ship packages. What are the packages designed to givecruise ship travelers? (Hint: The answer is in the first sentence of paragraph three. Do nottranslate past the bold phrase “More Messaging, More Saving.”)
The new packages is Calling: Offers 50 minutes of talk time for $30/month, AT&T Cruise Ship Calling and Messaging: Offers 50 minutes of talk time and 100 text, picture or video messages sent for $60/month, AT&T Cruise Ship Calling, Messaging and Data: Offers 50 minutes of talk time, 100 sent text, picture or video messages sent, as well as 100MB of data for $120/month.
>Yes, this is a description of the packages. According to the press release "the new packages are designed to give cruise ship travelers discounted rates on voice, messaging and data use while at sea."
3. Visit a large public university on the east coast, the University of Maryland, and see the Department of Accounting and Information Assurance.
Students will be able to have a very fulfilling life.
>Yes, they should!
4. Use any search engine to search the Net for "balance sheet." Tell me how many "hits" you have, i.e., how many documents have that phrase in it? Tell me what search engine you used.
For example, I used Google to find "balance sheet." There were about 57,800,000 (fiftyseven million eight hundred thousand) hits. Using Bing, there were 14,200,000 (fourteen million two hundred thousand) hits.
I used Fresh eye to find "balance sheet." There were about 17,100,000(one-seventeen million one hundred thousand) hit!
In words the number is: seventeen million one hundred thousand. 17 is pronounced seventeen.
5. How easy was this lesson for you?
The accounting was: Somewhat hard.
The English was: Very hard
