88 The Importance of FEEDBACK

Along the course,
the feedback change our ideas.
And within we can predict what they will say.
So according to the feedback
we improve our production.
It's incredible how our mind reacts.
First we listen and accept badly the feedback.
Later we listen in way that is part of the game.
And then we almost predict what they probably might say.
It' s an interesting but painful way to learn.

input - then one hour then Ss arrive.
When finished the classes they go out - I know that when the doors are closed they are talking about the trainees.
In order to put things clear during the observation class, that's the moment when the trainers are talking about the trainees and when they arrive it's the feedback moment. If you replies about thinking that something would change, forget it.

Hello,
They are both correct; it depends on what you want to say.

There is no huge difference.

Regards.

Hello,

in/at the factory - both are ok

Sometimes there is a slight difference in meaning (nuance):

I work in the factory = I am most definitely in the factory building!
I work at the factory = I am most likely inside the building, but I might also be outside the factory!

Hope this helps more than confuses you!

Hello,
I would say that "in" simply means that you are in the building whereas "at" means that you are at a certain place to do something, a specific activity:

I am in the garden, in that room, in the tube: simple locations.
I am at school (to work)
I am at the cinema: to watch a film
I am at the doctor's : to be cured.
I am at the factory: to work, to make money.
I am at work.

He works at the factory: you describe his activity
He works in a big factory: you specify if it is a big or a small building.
He works in a big factory, at workshop number three.

Sometimes, there is a difference in meaning:

He is at the hospital, he works at the hospital:
He has found a good job at the hospital.
He is in (the) hospital: as a patient, as a victim of an accident.
I ended up at the hospital: you took the wrong road, you didn't want to go there originally.
I ended up in hospital: because there was something wrong with your health.

The pupils are "at school" but if a dog comes into the school through an open door ,you will say : There is a dog in the school .
