A Covering Letter

In Thursday's class we looked at the covering letter on page 56. For today's assignment I would like you to write your own covering letter. The instructions are on page 56 exercise 4. You cannot apply for the job of secretary.

Curriculum Vitae

In class on Thursday we looked at writing a curriculum vitae. Today's assignment is to do exercise 5 on page 45. I recommend that you write your own CV because it would be useful for you in the future. If not you can also follow the instructions and write a CV for Pavel Cizek using the information on page 139.

Assignment: Present Perfect vs. Past Simple

Last week we read about the Olsen twins on page 38. During the class we drew a time line of their lives and we looked at the difference between using Present Perfect and Past Simple. Today during the lab class I would like you to write about events in your life using Present Perfect and Past Simple similar to the text about the Olsen twins.

Hello

Hello students.

I met some of you on Monday in the lab. I will be taking over as your teacher for this class in June so Maria can have some time for her new baby.

I'm excited about having a blog with this class so that we can create some interesting stuff. I look forward to getting to know you all.

See you soon,

Ronda
