ect 2The blended learning students are responsible for studying and familiarizing the cour-se contents themselves, in their own time: watching the videos, completing the wor-kbook exercises, posting on the wall, learning the E-vocabulary, etc. The activities, videos and goals and homework tasks have been devised to allow the student to practice and improve all four abilities that are indispensable when learning of a new

language i.e. listening, reading, writing and finally, speaking (which will be the focus of the weekly virtual or actual classes). In addition, the student will benefit from lan-guage reinforcement in the form of corresponding vocabulary exercises and grammar review activities.The weekly virtual or actual classes are their opportunity to interact directly with the teacher and, in some circumstances, fellow students. These classes have been de-vised to help the students perfect their speaking and pronunciation through direct contact with their tutor.The objective and contents of these classes have been defined and designed taking into account the students needs when practicing speaking, i.e. the activities corres-pond to the grammatical and cultural topics seen in the explanatory and virtual ses-sion videos. It is essential that the students comply with the weekly programme and complete the daily goals as they form the basis of the class. Although other additional complementary material will also be used, failure to comply with the assigned goals and written and speaking tasks will be to the students detriment.If the student is experiencing difficulty understanding or using the grammatical or cultural topics covered in the videos, the teacher will go over these again with them in the allotted time given in the class in order to answer any questions or solve any difficulties they may be experiencing.

Arthur Daley: Ladies and gentlemen, I am here today to share a secret that should not be a secret. I am here to offer you the key to the door behind which lies all the riches of Eldorado. The secret is the secret of success. If I offered it to a king, hed give me a ransom. If I offered it to a queen shed give me a princess. Its the secret in three simple rules. Rule one: your work is your life and your life is your work.

Never listen to these whinging fools who tell you that you must separate work from life if you want to be happy. This is ********. Rule two: successful people do all the things that unsuccessful people dont want to do. Dont want to work all day? Do it. Dont want to take risks? Take them. Instead of asking a successful person what they would do, why not ask an unsuccessful person what they would do, and do the opposite, of course. Theyre rigid, you need to be flexible. Rule three: you must be thankful for your success every day. You must be pleased by success above everything else. If youre not grateful for the success, you might waste it. Ok. There are three simple rules my friends. Now go out, into the world, and be successful.

Interviewer: Hello and welcome to our weekly section on interesting jobs. Right, so lets welcome this weeks guest James Stubbs. Hello James.

Interviewee: Hello!

Interviewer: So, you have quite an unusual job, tell us about it.

Interviewee: Well, people seem to think its strange but it seems very normal to me. I write personality tests, all kinds of personality tests, from trivial ones that assign a colour to someones personality to more serious ones, testing peoples suitability for certain jobs.

Interviewer: So, are you a psychologist? Have you had a lot of training to do this?

Interviewee: Ha! No, really, it, its not necessary. There is obviously a certain formula that I stick to every time, but its no more academic than that.

Interviewer: So tell us about that, you make it sound so simple.

Interviewee: It is! Its very simple. I fact, I think in a few short steps, you could do it yourself.

Interviewer: Well, Im always ready for a challenge. Whats first?

Interviewee: The title. The title of the quiz is the most important thing.

Interviewer: Ok.

Interviewee: The title is the question and youre trying to establish the answer to this question. So, for example, you wanted ascertain which colour best describes someones personality. Then, you would start with the question: what colour are you?

Interviewer: Ah, I see.

Interviewee:You could then have five possible conclusions to the quiz. Say, green, purple, red, orange and brown. Each one of these representing a personality type. You should define personality types before writing the questions, and the questions will determine which of the personality types someone is.

Interviewer: And how do you go about choosing the questions?

Interviewee: Well, I would choose ten to twelve questions. For each question there should be an answer, A, B, C, D or E, and this answer suggests one of the personality types.

Interviewer: And I suppose the wording of the questions are very important as well as other things

Anna:Hello and welcome to the big question this week the debate centres around the question: do personality tests really tell us anything? Today we are with two AC Canada experts to debate on the issue.

Ffion:Look they cant tell us anything because you cant measure personality traits. People like to give names to everything and of course this is essential in establishing a language. People like to talk about things like intelligence, like confidence but really peoples personalities are made up 9of a complex mix of chemical reactions and life experiences and of course it is impossible to divide a persons personality into parts and even more impossible to measure these parts.

James:I cant agree, when I walk around the world everyday I see people and some people are intelligent, some people are kind, some people have other personality traits. I can also see the amounts in which people have them. Some people are very intelligent, some people incredibly kind, some people only a little kind. So if we can see the personality traits and we can see the amounts we can measure them.

Ffion: But look even if we can measure these personality traits, what does this tell us in reality? Does it tell us whether somebody is suitable for a certain job or if were going to be successful in life, and what determines success? We like to believe this is down to certain positive personality traits but in reality it comes down to numerous factors not all of which are internal. Luck, for example, plays a large part in someones success.

James: No, no, no look take three successful people Bill Gates, Richard Branson and Donald Trump. Theyre all risk takers, theyre all intelligent and theyre all hardworking. So they all share these things. Look for these things and you find people who are more likely to be successful.

Ffion: All I know is that I dont need a personality test to tell me that you sir are as stubborn as a mule.

Video 24

Coach: Right then, you guys are all winners. Just do what comes naturally. You know youre good and you deserve to be here. So, dont waste the opportunities that are in front of you. Go out there and succeed. When you are born to success, as you are, the thing to do is to embrace it and to invite it into every part of your lives. Do not, however, allow your confidence to make you complacent. Remember, in life, nothing is guaranteed, and so you must give it your best and play to your potential. Dont let a moment pass without taking from that moment everything that you can. Right, lets go!

James: I am going to continue shouting until you are silent. Anyway, I dont know why you introduced this subject. You invent these disagreements and then expect me to be calm. For example yesterday when you were behaving badly because of the number of people I invited to the flat. You never stop defending your opinion and to be honest after a while I just want to leave for ever or scream. And one more thing, stop criticizing me it really annoys me.

Ffion: I am going to carry on until you are silent. Anyway I dont know why you brought up this subject. You make up these disagreements and then expect me to be calm. For example yesterday when you were acting up because of the number of people I asked over to the flat. You never back down and to be honest after a while I just want to run away or shout out. And one more thing stop running me down it really winds me up.

Officer: So sergeant, I really do hope you have a description of this thief for me.

Sergeant: Oh yes sir. I think we can be very confident about getting our man.

Officer: Excellent, lets hear it.

Sergeant: This is our man he is around 30 -40 years old and he could be German but he might be Swiss. He will speak German but wont speak French. I would say he was from somewhere near the border. He may have a tattoo but has no piercings and you will notice a scar his right cheek. He should have a dog with at all times but wont have a cat. He will certainly be without a parrot.

Officer: Well that doesnt seem like too much information well never find this beast.

Sergeant: We know that he certainly has short hair which may be brown.

Officer: No still not enough. In fact I really do worry about your ability to catch this clown.

Sergeant: I also have photos of three suspects.

Ffion: That is success?

Yenny: Yeah that is important. If for someone else, er, to be happy in personal life and all of that is success so yeah its important.
