Dear students,
I hope you are feeling better since the wave of easing the lockdown has started. I am sad that I can not finish the schoolyear with lovely materials I have gathered throughout the years. Unfortunately, many of them are too big to be sent over the faculty web page.
In this week’s lesson let us focus on the issue of translation
For example, a 2012 survey from the European Commission found that only a quarter of Europeans were able to understand English well enough to follow an English-language news broadcast. Holding a basic conversation is one thing. Easy and effective communication is another. The top skills include making a translation which is both keeping the sense of original text but SHOULD SOUND AS MUCH AS THE ORIGINAL TEXT. For this reason, go to the page 30, exercise 8.
The translation should be sent by: Magdalena, Hrvoje and Lucija.
We are skipping this time Lesson VII, and devoting ourselves to polishing writing skills, again and again, which includes both grammar and spelling.
Ex.9 and 10, page 31 should be sent by Marko and Bastien
JOB SEEKING OR RECRUITMENT PAGES
I enclosed two videos:
The first DOS AND DON’TS IN THE INTERVIEW deals with rules, you must obey (if you want to get the job). Karla and Hafida will send me a couple of these rules, and Valentino and Karlo will send me the list of flaws, (cited in the video) the recruiters make sometimes.The link for DOS AND DONT'TS IS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ucmfPOBV8
SMALL TALK 1
The second VIDEO and the easier to handle, is focused on the rules of small talk before or upon entering the new company. Retell those rules:Doris. What does an acronym ARE stand her for: Franciska
When you do not get your HM back it means that it is 99 percent well done, and the mark is in my notes, do not worry.
There is Veronika’s PPT here this time, nicely and concisely made. Josip will send me the solved practice from her PPT.
Fran, Bastien, Josip, Ana, Karla are the next presenters.
