Vocabularies for the quizzes

Here are the vocabularies you need for the Vocabulary quizzes.
First vocabulary quiz (Monday) is Japanese to English, and the second vocabulary quiz (Wednesday) is English to Japanese.

The quiz format is, for example;

for the First vocabulary quiz (Japanese to English),
1)I go to ______.
日本に行きます。

and for the second vocabulary quiz (English to Japanese),
1)I go to Japan.
_______に行きます。
*You can fill in the blank either kanji or hiragana. If you write the answer both in kanji and hiragana, you get extra points.

By the way, I guess these many quizzes must be hard for you. On every chapter, you have;
-two kanji/katakan quizzes,
-two vocabulary quizzes,
-one memorization quiz,
-one written test, and
-one oral test,
but we cover only 3 chapters during the entire semester.

Please let me promise I don't fail you unless you skip many classes or you skip many quizzes/tests/assignments (like diary). *But please understand that I might fail you if you do always too bad on quizzes/tests, like getting 20 or 30 in all quizzes. But anyway I rarely fail a student, so please don't worry too much.
If you want to make sure that you pass this class, please attend every time. I believe attendance is the easiest way to not lose points.
Also if you feel like you have to talk with me about anything, please feel free to call my cell phone (704-975-3191) at anytime even at very late at night or in the weekend.
