              3.  Use  Examples 2.2 to 2.10 in the Student’s Book to guide
                  students through discussion on determining the truth values of
                  the statements and writing statements in both symbolic form
                  and verbal sentences.

              4.  Guide students to attempt Exercise 2.2 in the Student’s Book.
                  Advise students to submit their work, check the correctness of
                  their answers, and provide them constructive feedback where
                  necessary.
