While I was taking some exercises through a cambridge book, I came across an exercise where a sentence was presented with this order: I have been continually been transformed... I checked my grammar books and saw that in the situations when we have two verbs the adverb comes after the first one. So, this is my question. Whether both ways are possible or there is another explanation for this case. Thanks in advance!

Does this sentence sound good? The first text suggests that using modern gadgets with criteria has enabled museums to be visited by the typical citizen. (My main questions here are whether"criteria" is being used properly with the preposition "with" and if the passive is sounding natural as a native speaker would construct while writing a formal composition in English. Thanks a lot!)

Report on my experience as a trainee in an international hotel chain Introduction The aim of this report is to outline the experience that I had, regard the activities performed during the one-month period working as a trainee. My intention is to give a general perspective of the tasks as well as to expose some problems detected during their execution. At the end, there are some recommendations that I made in order to improve future trainee programmes. Activities performed During the thirty-day interval taken as a trainee, the main tasks were constituted by serving meals to the guests and being at the front desk attending their demands. The first job propitiated me the opportunity of realizing how complex is the catering service of a hotel and how organization is a vital need at this sort of establishment. Secondly, working at the reception enabled me to improve my communication skills and enhanced my capacity of staying calm under heavy pressure, which was something quite normal to happen due to occasional unfriendly guests. Issues in the programme Although I regard the opportunity highly valid for my career, I have to mention that a major challenge for me was to accept that my activities were mainly pure executional chores. Certainly, as an inexperienced professional I must understand that I should have undergone such jobs, however having had more complex activities would have made me feel more valued and challenged both mentally and emotionally. The second drawback that I observed is that since there was scarce feedback during the experience, I was not able to recognize if I was doing a proper job. Recommendation As a first measure, I would recommend offering not just practical jobs but also those that require managerial skills, such improvement would attract candidates that are more skilled. The second improvement I recommend is to offer a scheduled plan where feedback is included and guidance propitiated, such measure will elevate the perception of efficiency by the trainees who will improve even more their performances.

Ensuring low levels of stress: An optimum way of assessing students' learning accurately It is plain to see how pupils and graduation students at schools and universities, respectively, get excessively stressed during the period when the examinations are being taken. In order to better evaluate their knowledge absorption, the aforementioned establishments must be committed to help the students with the process of dealing with their moods while they are having the tests. Firstly, we cannot underestimate the power that either teachers or professors have in easing the students’ afflictions by showing them that they do have the knowledge that will be required from them on the exams. Tutors are key elements on the learning process because among other reasons they boost their students’ confidence when they are able to identify a way of showing to the learners that actually every content that will be demanded from them on the exams has already been absorbed by their intellects during the classes. Another method of maintaining students’ stress level low is to offer mocks and reviews in a planned schedule so that learners can identify which topics they have already mastered and the other ones that they need to practice or examine better. By offering students plenty of opportunities to be assessed, the schools and the universities are familiarizing their youngsters with the feeling of being checked and therefore increasing the likelihood of their success. I believe that by applying these approaches both the schools and the universities would be decreasing the level of stress of their students during the exams period and hence would be more accurately aware of their students development.

Report Language learning in Brazil Introduction The aim of this report is to comment on the process of learning a new language in my country regarding the languages people learn, the part of the population who learns them, the places where the same individuals learn these tongues and to recommend changes that could be made to improve this situation. The languages people learn The vast majority of Brazilians who can learn a second language choose English as their first choice. The reason being that this language is still seen as a means of reaching better positions at work and increasing the odds of having more opportunities in one’s life. Followed by the language spoken in the United Kingdom we realize that the European languages are dominant among learners. Namely, Spanish, French and German are the preferable tongues in Brazil. The part of the population who learns other languages Unfortunately, Brazil is a country where we still have much contrast between poor people and citizens that are more privileged with the result that only a small fraction of the population can afford to study at private language schools. For this reason, there are many individuals who would like to get started a language course that cannot do this. The places where people learn a new language Since the learning of a foreign language in regular schools (public and private ones) is not well planned in Brazil, we see that private schools are the standard for those who can afford to enroll at them. In our territory, we see many franchises that focus on this field so the access to this sort of service is quite restrictive. Recommended changes I would recommend that, not only the government, but also the private sector of my country foment some initiatives that could lead us to a more democratic way of accessing to language schools. For sure, there are plenty of students who, once having conditions to study, could demonstrate their potentials.

Essay It has always seemed a contradiction to me how schools tend, in general, to instigate their students to create a critical perception of life while the very same pupils are more concerned about whether they will fit the market expectations therefore possibly earning a good salary and hence matching their needs. Many scholars have observed that among other institutions, school seems to have changed little through the years. Apparently, this extents to the subjects learnt in class as well. Most of students complain that they are not able to identify the use of content exposed in class and for this reason, the theoretical process of creating a conscientious being (primary focus of many schools) seems faded to failure. It has been said that perhaps one solution for the lack of assurance among students about their future job could be some sort of experience through the school years embodied in internships or trainee positions, for instance. However, in most of the cases, youngsters are not mature enough to realize what path they want to follow in life and hence they cannot choose a work experience. Besides all the difficulties aforementioned, we have to acknowledge that although schools seemingly are not matching neither students' expectations nor the market ones, youth is a hard period to take supposedly definitive decisions. I would therefore argue that schools must offer a formation that do not aim only on the pupils' critic thinking development but instead, being aware of the needs of the market, prioritize it as well, since every student and ultimately all of us will be part of it, whether as consumers or producers.

An email reply Hi Bob, Thanks for your email asking for my first job experience. It was 2005 and I had finished with high school. I was awarded with a scholarship in a very good university in the capital of my state and in order to help with the general expenses my father got me a position as an intern in the public sector in Porto Alegre city. Certainly, I learned a lot during this period. As an inexperienced student, I had the opportunity to be more responsible as well as learning how to deal with different personalities as I had many civil servants who were my work colleagues but also my seniors. As for some issues that I had during this period, I can mention the fact that, as a young trainee, many civil servants used to feel free to ask me to perform any job which were, most of the cases, tasks supposed to be done by themselves. Obviously, it would annoy me a lot. However, it was a period of great learning for sure. I hope to ta have had helped you Bob and I'm looking forward to knowing about your assignment reception. Best wishes, Leandro
