Types of assignments in the Worksheet:

4 questions – the questions should be based on the presentation and be arranged in the ordered the information is presented. The questions should be on the key issues of the presentation and it should be possible to summarise the presentation by using the answers to those four questions

3 synonyms and 3 antonyms - the words should be related to the field of study.
