Evidence Forum Sharing Experiences
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 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.

A trip to an unknown place, when I went to the USA the first time.
Some years ago I went to the USA by myself, I was afraid because I did not
get out of the country before. I was frustrated because I had to be with my
passport and boarding pass on hand one hour before the check-in of
departure and I didn´t understand anything, if I had listened during my
English classes, I would have a higher level for the trip.
The Miami Airport is too big, I was watching for a long time the maps over
departures lounge to avoid being lost walking around and miss my next flight,
if I had not looked at the map I would have lost. When I arrived decide took
the train from my gate towards next connection, unfortunately, I was lost
and this took me about 40 minutes, if I spoke English, I would have translated
the signs at the airport
