An immense thank you to the INFN Upper Intermediate/Advanced class for today's initial lesson. It was a great ice-breaker talking about your dream jobs, and attitude and aptitude.
I hope you try the psychometric tests on the web link, and I shall print them out for you for next Tuesday.


Thank you Cettina for the coffee, you are very kind.


Please fill in the questionnaires, and bring them to me in class next time.
Don't forget to explore the web links in my Giga school blog, especially the BBC sites, which are contemporary and practical.


See you again next Tuesday morning at 9.00 am.
