At the end of</p><p>the module, the teacher will put the lessons together to make your book. You are in charge of writing</p><p>Lesson 3, so you should answer the question: First Things First—How can we do that?</p><p>The exam has two parts:</p><p>1. Written Project</p><p>2. Presentation</p><p>• Answer the first question of the book you are writing. Basic 3 students are in charge of Lesson 3.</p><p>• Remember: this is your book! It should reflect your experience with the Personal and Professional</p><p>Development topics studied.</p><p>• The written project should attract the readers’ attention! Use pictures, illustrations, diagrams, tables,</p><p>or any visual aid that can make the book more appealing.</p><p>• No book is written without research. Read other books, articles, or news that may help you develop</p><p>the topic, but don’t forget to include the source! It’s perfectly OK to quote or to refer to other authors,</p><p>but it’s not OK to simply copy other people’s work.</p><p>The goal of Lesson 3 is to answer the question “First Things First—How can we do that?”</p><p>In order to draw a conclusion and answer the question, divide the lesson into four parts. For each</p><p>part, there are questions to answer. It’s important to include all four parts and to have all questions</p><p>answered in the written project. Watch the PPD video as many times as you need and read the texts in</p><p>the book to help you complete your project.</p><p>General Guidelines</p><p>Lesson 3: First Things First—How can we do that?</p><p>Guidelines—Basic 3</p><p>2</p><p>EXAM GUIDELINES</p><p>BASIC 3—BOOK 2</p><p>Language items: simple past, used to</p><p>Language items: simple present and present continuous, giving and asking for opinion</p><p>Language items: simple present, simple past, giving and asking for opinion</p><p>Language items: expressing quantity, simple present, giving and asking for opinion</p><p>Describe your professional background: where you studied, the courses you took, and your profession.</p><p>Describe your personal background: where you were born and were raised, what you used to do as a</p><p>child or as a teenager.</p><p>Describe the activities you did last month.</p><p>Draw a chart classifying the activities into: important and urgent, important but not urgent, urgent but not</p><p>important.
