The contents of our lessons were the communication skills, how to do presentations and to intruduce ourself. We talk about the different ways to do smalltalk and about the taboos in smalltalk in diffrent countries. Yestarday we visit a glas manufacture. The most suprising thing during this visit for me was that it tooks about ten years to educate a high level worker for the company. An other very exiting thing is that they only produce there goods by hand even they serve the high, middle and low quality market. I can't belive taht this strategy works because the costs for thier low quality products must be to high comparing to other - industrial producer - competitors.
| Instances | Description |
| 3 | ARTICLE - you have made a mistake with the use of the article ( ie a, an, the or zero) with a noun or noun phrase. First check that you know whether the noun is countable or uncountable, and singular or plural |
| 1 | MARKER/CONNECTIVE - you may have used the wrong one, or not used one where it is needed, or used one incorrectly |
| 1 | NOT THE BEST CHOICE - your meaning is clear but this is not a good way, or not the best way, to express it. This may relate to one word, or a phrase or a whole sentence. You may need to change the syntax or the vocabulary or both. |
| 1 | PHRASE CONSTRUCTION - you have used the wrong construction after the verb/noun/adjective/adverb; for example, you might have used 'to' instead of 'that', or an '-ing' form instead of 'to' etc |
| 1 | PUNCTUATION - punctuation mistake. For example, you may have used a comma when it is not necessary, or a capital letter is required. |
| 1 | NUMBER OF NOUN - you have put a word in the singular when it should be plural, or vice versa. Or perhaps the noun is countable and you thought it was uncountable, or vice versa. Check that you have used the right article, as well. |

| 2 | VERB TENSE - you have put the verb in the wrong tense eg present instead of future, or continuous instead of simple. |

| 2 | VOCABULARY MISTAKE - you have used the wrong word. Check in the dictionary. |
| 1 | WORD FORM - you used a word in the wrong form. For example, you have used the adjective form when you should have used the noun form, or adverb instead of adjective etc. |
