Please complete the following online exercises, using the timer on the right-hand side, after the instructions, and writing the final scores in the comment box below, 
e.g. Exercise 1: completed 6, no. 4 + 3 incorrect.


Good luck!


Task 2

 Watch this TED Talk video, with subtitles if necessary, and answer the following questions in the comment box as well.

 1) What does the term "grit" mean and why is it so important according to the speaker?
2) Was "grit" ever talked about in any educational institution you attended yourself? And if so, how?
3) What did you like about the talk?
4) Was there anything being said that you didn't agree with? And if so, what and why?
5) What other factors, apart from grit, are important for studying in your opinion?

 Let's see what you think!
