    • OUTCOME FOR TASK 2: Dialogue exchanging personal data (audio recording) Assignment
      Students must
      Make a submission
      Receive a grade

      Here you have to upload an audio file (not exceeding 5MB and on one of the formats mentioned in the task, e.g. mp3) with a dialogue interviewing one of your classmates (you ask the questions). Include the following:

      • Greeting (say your classmate’s name)
      • Nationality
      • Marital status
      • Telephone number
      • Email address (ask your classmate to spell it)

      You’ll have until 3 December to submit the task. After that date, submissions won't be accepted.

      To upload your audio file (not exceeding 5MB and on one of the formats mentioned in the task, e.g. mp3) with a dialogue having the characteristics mentioned above, click on "Add Submission." Then, click on the arrow (if the arrow doesn't work, click on the left-hand top corner drawing of a file, which shows the word "Add..." when you place the cursor on it). After that, a new window appears, the "File Picker," and here, click on “Choose file” (if this doesn't appear, click on "Upload a file" on the left), and thus, you can see your computer files on the new window. Once you choose the file you want to submit, click on “Upload this file.” Finally, don’t forget to click “Save changes,” so that the file remains uploaded.

      Aquí tes que subir un arquivo de audio (que non exceda 5MB e que teña algún dos formatos mencionados na tarefa, por exemplo, mp3) cun diálogo entrevistando a un/ha dos/as teus/túas compañeiros/as (ti fas as preguntas). Inclúe o seguinte:

      • Saúdo (di o nome do/a teu/túa compañeiro/a)
      • Nacionalidade
      • Estado civil
      • Número de teléfono
      • Dirección de correo electrónico (pídelle que o deletree)

      Tes ata o 3 de decembro para presentar a tarefa. Despois desa data, non se aceptarán presentacións.

      Para subir o arquivo de audio (que non exceda 5MB e que teña algún dos formatos mencionados na tarefa, por exemplo, mp3) cun diálogo que teña as características mencionadas no anterior parágrafo, clica en "Add Submission" (agregar unha presentación). Logo, clica na frecha (se a frecha non funciona, preme no debuxo dun arquivo, que mostra a palabra "Add..." cando pos o cursor encima del). Entón, aparece unha nova ventá, a "File Picker" (recolle arquivos), e aquí, clica en “Examinar” (se non aparece isto, clica en "Upload a file" á esquerda), e así, na nova ventá, pódense ver os arquivos no teu computador. Unha vez que selecciones o arquivo que queres presentar, clica en “Upload” (subir). Finalmente, non esquezas clicar en “Save changes” (gardar os cambios), para que o arquivo permaneza subido.
