Today, The Bonds are visiting two of the most important museum of the world: The Louvre and The Orsay. They are very interested in art and painting, especially Jaume Bond, who is a professional one and enjoys painting in every place that he can.
Painting has been a method to express thousands of ideas and knowledge during the centuries. The family is very interested in two movements The Renaissance and The Impressionism because during these two ages, painting was more than simple art, was a way to express secret desires and forbidden ideas. The Grandma wants to talk about Vincent Van Gogh, his paintings and the influence of number Phi in them.
After that, the family is going to assist to a new conference about Labour Integration, Role Games and Teamwork. The EU is destinating lots of funds to improve the quality of working in all its countries, especially in these with high levels of unemployment.
Finally, The Bonds are going to rest because tonight they are going to fly from Paris to Kiev where they're going to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. There isn't any clear favourite although Pedro Bond sounds like a great candidate to win the contest but we have to wait until tomorrow when all the members of this family will defense their songs with all their heart and with their music skills.
Yesterday, The Poppins continued their studies in Labour Integration. While the family
was learning new skills to find a job, The
Grandma put her business in order. The course is arriving to the end and The Grandma is closing affairs and
preparing new objectives for her family, one of them, how to pass a speaking
with success.
A PET Exam isn’t an easy thing,
especially when the student has been a lot of years without revising the subject.
The Grandma is going to explain how
to create a microtale, a good tool to
practise in the speaking.
A microtale is a short story where the
most important is answering the elemental questions: Who? Where? When? What? with a few words and using an easy
vocabulary to feel comfortable during the speaking and avoid nerves and hysterias.
It’s usually
a first person and real story where the main character is the narrator. This microtale is often plenty of hilarious
situations and lots of sense of humour. The objective of this story is to
explain something that can be controlled by the narrator and creates a point of
empathy between the student and the examiner. The Grandma has practised this technique during all her travels
with The Poppins. She has explained
lots of short stories to her family and she has always tried to connect every
story with a present fact.
Finally, The Grandma has prepared some new
material for The Poppins. For one hand, attending to Susana Poppins, she
has written a small dictionary about Commercial
Vocabulary and for other hand, attending to Isa Poppins, she has created a resume of some Verb Tenses.
There were
people who said the Society of Cincinnati in the American revolution, of which
George Washington was one of the shining lights, was a branch of the
Illuminati.
A Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a written overview of a person's
experience and other qualifications. In some countries, a CV is typically the
first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is
typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview.
In the United Kingdom,
most Commonwealth countries, and Ireland, a CV is short (usually a maximum of
two sides of A4 paper), and therefore contains only a summary of the job
seeker's employment history, qualifications, education, and some personal
information. Some parts of Asia require applicants' photos, date of birth, and
most recent salary information. CVs are often tailored to change the emphasis
of the information according to the particular position for which the job
seeker is applying. A CV can also be extended to include an extra page for the
job-seeker's publications if these are important for the job.
In the United States,
Canada, Australia and India, a CV is a comprehensive document used in academic
circles and medical careers that elaborates on education, publications, and
other achievements. A CV contains greater detail than a résumé, a shorter
summary which is more often used in applications for jobs, but it is often
expected that professionals use a short CV that highlights the current focus of
their academic lives and not necessarily their full history. A CV is generally
used when applying to a position in academia, while a resume is generally used
when applying to a position in industry, non-profit, and the public sector.
Curriculum Vitae is a Latin expression which can be loosely translated
as [the] course of [my] life. In current usage, curriculum is less marked as a
foreign loanword. Traditionally the word vitae is rendered in English using the
ligature æ, hence vitæ, although this convention is less common in contemporary
practice.
The plural of curriculum
vitae, in Latin, is formed following Latin rules of grammar as curricula vitae
(meaning "courses of life")—not curriculum vita (which is
grammatically incorrect), nor curricula
vitarum. The form vitae is the
singular genitive of vita and is translated as "of life".
In English, the plural of
the full expression curriculum vitae is seldom used; the plural of curriculum
on its own is usually written as "curricula", rather than the
traditional curriculums.
Today, The Poppins are participating in some Labour Integration classes. This afternoon, they're going to meet Barack in the White House. They arrive with a long list of demands and reclaims to be listened and done.
The family continues its preparation for the PET Exam doing some Reading and Comprehension Exercises to improve their personal levels of English knowledge.
Correction does much, but
encouragement does more.
