Learning activity 2

Evidence: Forum Sharing experiences

A. Go to the thematic forum Sharing experiences and write your answers to


these questions. Remember to support your ideas.

Think about an experience in your life where you were flexible and adapted
to a new situation or a change in your life. A challenging new job, a trip to an
unknown place, a new system in your office / school, etc. What was the
result? How did your flexibility and adaptability help you to deal with the
situation?

Share your experience with your partners. Write a 200-word text where you
describe your experience. Use mixed conditional sentences (at least 4
examples), the idioms and vocabulary and ideas about flexibility and
adaptability studied in this learning activity (at least 8 words from the
vocabulary). Remember to use connectors and punctuation.

Example:

When I lived in la Guajira:

When I was 21 years old I was offered a job opportunity in La Guajira for
2 years. They offered me a very competitive salary and some benefits
such as accommodation and transportation. Even though it was an
interesting opportunity, it was going to be a drastic change in my life: I
was going to be away from my family, the weather was really hot (I had
always lived in Bogota where the weather is not that hot), and the culture
was different as well.

I thought I was not going to adapt to the conditions, however I accepted


the offer and saw it as an opportunity to grow personally and
professionally. The first months were hard. I had to deal with the hot
weather. The air conditioning was broken in my apartment and they took
a while to fix it. The job was hard. I was working for a big hotel and had
to play different roles in different areas of the business. Additionally,
the food was different from the food I was used to, so I was having
problems eating. It was difficult for me to adapt to these conditions,
but I was determined to stay and face the obstacles.
In the end, I managed to get used to it and things started to improve. I
learned a lot form the culture and made really good friends.

If I hadnt accepted that opportunity I wouldnt have such wonderful


friends and memories from La Guajira. Also If I hadnt learned that
much about hotels I wouldnt be that successful in my current job.

B. For the second part of this activity you have to read your partners posts,
select one and through the link Responder write your opinion about your
partner post. Use the idioms and vocabulary and ideas about flexibility and
adaptability studied in this learning activity. Remember to use connectors
and punctuation.

Example:

That was a really interesting experience. I really like La Guajira. It is full


of contrasts and amazing natural sceneries. I think that all changing
experiences can be hard at the beginning, but if you try to go with the
flow and look at the bright side, soon you start to enjoy and learn from
the situation. Probably the key is to maintain the balance and stay
positive while trying to deal with the changes.
