Remarks

Susan has successfully combined the revision of the use of the past and present perfect forms in a natural way to discuss different countries and different cultures in order to encourage learners to "reflect on their own cultural attitudes and beliefs and consider the importance of critical cultural awareness …".

She has, as in every dossier, selected materials appropriate for the lesson and presented them with a professional appearance.

Compared to the original

In both comments it is remarked that the teacher chooses the correct activities to achieve the goal of the class. Only through real experiences the student can understand the objective of a class. The class is practical and interesting.
