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.
