         <description><![CDATA[<div>This pink colour - which is actually supposed to be red and we will call it red - means that you must work on the task and hand it in. You will hand it only via Teams - this is part of the task. Your work will not be considered if you hand it in using any other way. If Teams does not work, possibly because there is something wrong in the setting, please contact me through the Teams messenger. <br>The task will be posted on Teams at 7:30 am of the day we would have lesson. You will have to hand in the answer by no later than 18 pm of the same day. No exceptions.</div>]]></description>

If you feel bored, please consider working on one of the yellow tasks.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>45 minutes</strong><br>We have dedicated this first week of the new term to revising the requirements for the comprehension task. Remember that the rules apply to all operators:</div><ul><li>describe</li><li>give an account of</li><li>outline</li><li>summarise</li><li>sum up</li><li>state</li></ul><div>Learn these instructions by heart. Keep very well in mind that <strong>summarise</strong>, <strong>sum up</strong> and <strong>outline</strong> are the most likely to be on the paper (well, this is my experience.)<br>The one I do not recall seeing in the past ten years is <strong>describe</strong>, at least for a text A (the continuous text). Though, I would like you to work an a description, just to be able to say that 'we did it' and that 'we feel prepared'.<br>Using the drawing you handed in on the 16th of December describe the campus as depicted in the first 50 pages of the novel. Expected number of words 180 (+-10%). Attach your drawing.<br>Remember to upload your answer directly under the task between 8 am and 6 pm today.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>90 minutes - </strong><strong><mark>conference call</mark></strong><br>Let's put the difference between Setting and Atmosphere in a nutshell: if you were in the fictional text, you would be able to <strong>touch</strong> the setting and to <strong>feel</strong> the atmosphere. The setting is something physical, it's real (well, at least in the story), whereas the atmosphere is something subjective, personal and that cannot be touched.<br>It is possible that the task ask you to analyse both features of a fictional text, however, they are two very different things.<br>Task:<br><strong>Analyse the means the author uses to evoke the atmosphere in the pages 100 to 150 of The Circle.</strong><br><mark>The deadline for uploading your answer under the 'assignment' in our Team is 6 pm and late hand-in until 11:59 pm is permitted.<br></mark><br></div>]]></description>
