Cover letter drafting, final version, pronunciation, etc.


Dear all,

A few reminders..

First, those of you who didn't write the cover letter draft before deadline (Thursday June, 10), please do now. I will take a look at all cover letters on Monday and will make comments for you to improve them. You may decide to write your final version due for Thursday 17. But I strongly suggest you to write your draft first (and write comments to two other people with suggestions to improve their letters).

Second, 3 or 4 people didn't write their commentary on the issue of creativity, schooling and mental health. The idea was to listen to Sir Ken Robinson's talk (see previous posts), and relate it to the article by the Karolinska Institute's team. Please finish the task (read the three last posts, if needed, to refresh your minds).

Also, here goes a link to a webpage with rules about the pronunciation of regular verbs in the past and other stuff that might be useful. As we normally run short of time, I suggest you to take a look yourselves. Anyway, I will refer to the rules on our next session when we do the pending exercises.



On a different note , next session Juan, Paula, Pablo, Jonathan, Rodrigo and Rocío have to present their reasons why their study should be published. Because of time constraints, people will have 5 minutes each plus 5 minutes for questions. Let me also take advantage of this message to congratulate Edgardo, Leslie, Clarita, Raúl and Carlos for their presentations. I know for many of you this is the first time to present and discuss your research in English. So, despite the fact that there is still a lot of room for improvement, I'm happy to see how well you're doing!.

Finally, I would like to thank Lisette for taking the time to check all the abstracts and provide very insightful and useful comments.

See you next week,
Claudia
