You  can email your writing to me at [email protected], and you should record your speaking on your phone.

If you choose to time yourself, you can type things like “timer 20 minutes” or “timer 30 seconds” into Google and it will give you the same timer we use in class.

Listening: about 30 minutes for each set of three listenings (about 10 minutes for each listening)
