New supplemental material

The class decided to use the travel book that David recommended as a supplemental material after discussing it on Oct 15, and those who have not got it will buy it at David's special rate to the class NT$200 (Thanks so much, David!). Those who find the print a bit small will make photocopies (blowing it up) on their own. Please see Grace or Jenny if you would like them to photocopy the units for you. David will select the units for the class and let the class know which unit will be covered ahead of time.

He will let the class know which unit will be used for Nov 5 next week.
