THANKSGIVING PARTY

On the fourth Thursday of November American families get together to thank for all the good and to "stuff themselves" with "stuffed" turkey (double-stuffing around!), mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, sweetcorn and for dessert, the traditional pumpkin pie! 

On the next Friday "lectivo", November 18th, at 18:30, we're hosting a Thanksgiving party and there will be a pie contest. Would you dare try any of these recipes?? or do you prefer showing off your speciality? 

With or without pie, please, join us and have fun!

CV AND COVERING LETTER USEFUL SENTENCES

Hello,

When writing a CV you need to use formal language, most of the times there are set expressions or formulas to convey a particular meaning. In the link below you'll find a complete account of some of the most common phrases to use when you try to describe your work experience, duties, qualifications or interests. There are maybe too many (sorry!) but they are divided in sections, so you can focus on the meaning you are dealing with and choose the one that better suits you.

Hope it helps!
