In the sheet you gave us in the beginning of the year, there is everything except this. But I'm not disorganized. In the table, you make it so close to each other so I thought that it was one sentence or paragraph, please post only the table of times(the time 30 days ago, the time 100 years ago, etc..........) but separated this time. Sorry if I made you tired, I only need this, please.
Best Wishes,

dear hashem,
i didnt understand the part (of the 100 bc, before christ ...)
please can you explain it to me?

Hello Alia,
I miss you soooooooooooooo much. I didn't understand this part also at the beginning but then I fortunately understood. You must put each word in a sentence, like let's pick a millennium:
You must say for example: A millennium is 2000 years (I think). Only one millennium passed since the birth of Christ.
Best Wishes, and I hope you understand now(if not ask again which part you don't understand and don't worry!),

Good Evening, Miss Batte,
I miss you sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. Miss, question 1 and 2 in the "Revision History Skills" topic, I answered it, but I want to check my answer, I wrote:
1-What do students do studying HISTORY?
a. They develop a chronological framework for their knowledge of significant people and events (I got this from the text: importance of history)
b.They consider how the past influences the present, they understand more about themselves as individuals and members of a society.
2-How do they accomplish this?
a. The find evidence
b. They weigh it up
c. They reach their own conclusion.
Please reply, is this right?
Note: when you put the answers(thanks very much for this) you put it starting from number 3, so is what I wrote for numbers 1 and 2 right?
Best Wishes,
Hashem Elezabi

this was the only h.w i did not know how to solve

how about what are we supposed to do in the extention part? ? ?

You should fill it. Like in the first space you must say your name, in the second you must say in which century you are born (you are born in 1998, so cover the first two numbers <19> as Miss Batte said and add to them 1 then put them again without the last two numbers <98>) then fill the other spaces, I hope this helps.
Best Wishes,
Hashem Elezabi

Your welcome, Alia. It was a pleasure to help you
