last English lesson before final Test for this Semester

This will be the last review for this semester, because in the next english lesson it will be the final exam, and I think I will not post the review of that lesson, as far as everybody can imagine and probably also knows, what experiences exist during an exam. So if everything runs fine, my next post into this blog is after summer, starting the 3rd semester!

But now the review of today:
We were reading an article of "motivating high calibre staff", which mainly explains the role of high performancers in a company, the definition of high performers and what are the advantages of high performares but also how to keep them in a company. After that a short discussion of what we think about high performers within the group started. Besides we learned 2 main keywords as binding words in a text, and now we shall the summarize of the discussion using these 2 keywords:

During the discussion about the article Jürgen says that social skills are not the main character of a high performer compared to a "normal" worker, but the know-how itself. The Know how of a high performer is the most important skill, and also the skill, which makes him to a high performer.
However I argumented a little bit different and thinks that the difference between a worker and a high performer ARE the social skills -- no the know how itself (but of course they have a knowledge of the company).
Above all I can summarize that those two opinions exist and also the group splittet up into those 2 opinions.

Some vocabulary:
to give a presentation
--> he gave an entertaining presentation

to hold a meeting
--> he held a meeting on dotcoms

Homework:
No homework!! :-)

Final words in the 2nd Semester:
So this was it -- the last post for this semester! I hopefully will pass all the left exams, so that my next post really will stand here in the 3rd semester! A few people have left us during the 2nd semster, so that the count of our class went from originally 40 people down to 29, and still the most exams are outstanding! But lets see..I will again cross my fingers (as I did so often during the last year :-))!

I am very looking forward to the summertime and FH-Break, I think everybody needs that after the first year! Altough, as our maths-tutor once also said, the 2nd semester (for me) passed more quickly over than the first semester. Some people were more motivated in the first semster, than during the 2nd semester, which was in my case just the other way around -- but still: I also need the summerbreak!


So: Bye Bye... have a very nice summertime!!
