final countdown

After nearly two weeks of sunshine the typical English weather welcomed us this morning. Although, equipped with umbrellas we arrived at Solent University wet all over.

Today we had a quite helpful ‘Speaking and Communication’- lesson with Rebecca. She refreshed our knowledge concerning presentation techniques. We really enjoyed her way of teaching (she has a really good sense of humour and immediately attached our attention).

Afterwards, Carolyn introduced the different cultural stereotypes to us. She started with a funny comic according to which Austrian seem to be quite impatient. We were quite surprised! ,-)
To get a feeling how cultural stereotypes could lead to a variety of misunderstandings we did a role play. It was really funny, however, we realised how easy embarrassing situations can occur.

Today’s self-directed work session we used to proof-read our written assignment. We started to work on our project at 3 pm… and have just finished a few minutes ago…now it’s after midnight! Studying really seems to be easy-going! ,-)))

So good night and see you tomorrow!
