Finally, it`s important to remind you that any evidence of having used copy and paste or Google`s translator will cause immediate failure of the task (or a 1.0).

Due to some classmates requests and due to the fact of how overloaded you have been with tests, the people who did not come to class, have until tomorrow Wednesday to do this task. After this deadline, you will be discounted one point for each day of tardiness.

Best,

Paula
