today I’m going to talk to you about my tasks for this week. This Tuesday we met with the Copec team, who introduced us to all the managers in their four business areas, which are as follows:

transportation cards,

fuel cards for pickup trucks,

cards for construction sites,

and industrial fuel.

The idea is to set fuel prices for all companies in the Bitumix group, including Probisa.

Diesel fuel is one of Bitumix’s main inputs, so Copec is a strategic partner for us.

To achieve this, we need to form partnerships with suppliers of these types of inputs.

We are awaiting the financial proposal, which will provide detailed information for all regions of the country.

The goal is to secure discounts on the price of all the fuels we need for our operations.

Assessment Reports

- Cristina distributed individual assessment reports to students (Camilo, Ronald, and Francisca)

Common Mistakes Highlighted

1. Language Use:

- Important note for all students to stay in English during evaluations and avoid switching to Spanish

- Need to challenge themselves to communicate fully in English

2. Grammar Issues:

- Omitting verbs, especially the verb "to be" (e.g., saying "These my things" instead of "These are my things")

- Confusion with demonstratives (this/that/these/those)

- Agreement between singular/plural subjects and verbs

3. Prepositions:

- Difficulty with time prepositions (in/on/at)

- Examples discussed:

- "On the weekend" (American English) vs. "At the weekend" (British English)

- "In the morning/afternoon/evening" but "At night"

- "On Monday" (for days)

- "In March" (for months) but "On March 12th" (for specific dates)

4. Age Expressions:

- Correct: "I am 50" or "I am 50 years old" (not "I have 50 years")

Learning Recommendations

- Be proactive in language learning

- Use AI tools like ChatGPT or Google's Gemini to practice

- Take notes to help remember vocabulary and grammar

- Practice English in all communications, including emails

- Don't fear making mistakes as they are part of the learning process

Grammar Focus

- Verb "to be" reviewed as the most independent verb in English (forms negatives and questions without auxiliaries)

- Present Simple structure explained:

- Add -s ending only for he/she/it in affirmative sentences

- Require auxiliaries "do/does" for questions and "don't/doesn't" for negatives

- Common mistake: omitting auxiliaries in questions creates misunderstandings

## Vocabulary

- Pencil vs. Pen distinction: pencil (lápiz mina, erasable) vs. pen (lápiz pasta, ink-based)

- Professional terminology: roles, positions, job titles

Communication Skills

- Professional introductions: Focus on work context only (name, company, position)

- Answering "What do you do?": Always describe your job/role, never current activities

- Examples practiced: "I'm a cost controller for the North area" (Francisca), "I'm Head of Procurement" (Ronald)

Learning Resources

- Recommended apps: Lingo Panda and Follow (superior to Duolingo)

- Features: AI-powered speaking practice, role play, pronunciation correction

- Links to be uploaded to Patlet

Upcoming Assessment

- Date: Friday, March 27

- Content: Lessons 1-11

- Study guide: To be uploaded by Cristina today or tomorrow

- Students are specifically required to complete Lesson 11.

- Each lesson includes videos, practice exercises, and quizzes to check understanding
