We had Dr. Kimberly Contag joined our class today. She shared her experience in Ecuador with our class. It was kind of surprise to learn that almost 30% of Ecuadorians do not continue beyond the 6th grade because they chose to work. In addition, more girls than boys who continue their education after they turn 12 years old so that the classes are populated with many more girls than boys.
Later, we moved to small group to go through and discuss the quiz questions which were assigned to each group. After few minutes, we moved back to the main discussion room again. I found that I didn’t really consider the relationship between a prepositional phrase and a verb phrase or a noun phrase. I was having a misunderstanding on the number 3 of diagram tree: I know the guy in this picture. In this case, “in this picture” is used to give more information about the guy so it should be under the noun phrase (the guy). Even though I was wrong in quiz, I’m glad that I knew it now.

I had the same problem with the prepositional phrase, Chia-fang! I put it in the correct place in the first example (I think it was sentence #2), but then did not do it correctly in the next example. Oh, well. You're right - at least we know it now.
