Remarks (Comments and Recommendations)
I think that different people means different background, and sometimes different
culture. In this case, the teacher has to think about empathy as another classroom tool
because most of the time, the teacher must understand and know that all the students
are different, so he must get to them completely different.

Remarks
Susan has successfully combined the revision of the use of the past and present perfect forms in a natural way to
discuss different countries and different cultures in order to encourage learners to "reflect on their own cultural
attitudes and beliefs and consider the importance of critical cultural awareness …".
She has, as in every dossier, selected materials appropriate for the lesson and presented them with a professional
appearance.
Compared to the original
It tried to build a very interesting lesson using some culture attitudes for completing the
activities and teacher tried to share and listened student´s comments. It required not only
to have a good knowledge about any topic, it needs t have cultural knowledge from the
own country as the same way as other ones
