This video is part of our video series on "Evaluation and Testing of Students". In this video, we look at practice and external proficiency tests. Practice tests are usually used for revision purpose before internal and external exams to prepare the students. There are three types of external proficiency tests that English learners can take. Find out which ones in this video.
The unit presents a brief overview of some grammar topics which can be really copmlicated for students' understanding. The structure of the material encourages an active recap of these grammar issues even for experienced English teachers and at the same time demonstrates possible ways of introducing this information. I find the unit video patricularly informative since it gave me some ideas for such things as sectioning of information on a white board and different scenarios for intoducing "modals" to learners of various levels.

Can one purposeful, kind act toward another change lives and inspire others? We think so. This thought inspired our "Not So Random" Acts of Kindness Project.
Through this project we would make it a goal that everywhere we travelled, no matter how small the act, we would attempt to practice at least one random act of kindness as a family. However, since we would consciously perform this act, it wouldn't be all that random after all. Sometimes in the normal day to day you get so caught up with living that the good intentions you have get overshadowed by the busyness of life. Getting caught up in life is an excuse many of us use so often that we forget what it really means to live life. Life is about these very moments of intentionally taking time for your fellow man. It is about making your time here on Earth valuable. This new life left us with no excuses. We would now have time to be the people we felt we should be, by focusing on others. This trip was about stripping our lives down to practicing our faith outwardly, discovering adventures, enjoying our family to the fullest, giving back in society and living out the life we were meant to live. We were made to thrive.
This project was a way to challenge ourselves to do this very thing. A way to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions, and maybe influence the actions of others along the way. The four of us as a family would have the chance to volunteer and make a difference in areas we felt were important. Areas that hit a soft spot in our hearts or prompted by the needs seen in the communities we encountered. Of course any act could be as simple as randomly showing our fellow mankind unwarranted kindness in order to bring a smile to someone's face. It wasn't about being grand, it was about being sincere and genuine.
Below are a few of the things our family has participated in so far. We hope this inspires you to do something intentionally, your own "Not So Random" act of kindness.
What an amazing day! I was left completely speechless how our family was welcomed into this gorgeous little community of Dahlonega. We wanted to do something while we were here... for our "Not So" Random Acts of Kindness project and we were given the job to spruce up the town center park for their live music event this Friday. We had e-mailed the city manager letting him know we would like to help while we were here. Before we arrived we were left a message at the front desk of the campground that the city manager had come by to personally to welcome us to the town! Wow. This morning when volunteering, all we did was bring our willing hands and hearts and a few fresh flowers to plant and the response we received was beyond heart warming. We were completely humbled by multiple people in the town thanking us for our service, bringing us food, telling us their stories and giving us their prayers and support! Our family did one little thing and made an impact like this? These people were the real inspiration to us. I have a heart full of gratitude for knowing that what they gave us feels so much more than what we gave them. What a pleasure to serve the community with our kids and our whole family was astounded at the impact it made for us. A special thank you to Bruce, Joel and Becca with the city of Dahlonega for graciously allowing us to be part of this experience and welcoming us with open arms. Also, the amazing people who showed their love and support for our journey: Michelle, her 3 precious dogs (Luke, Cooper and Nugget) & Joe who all spoiled us ridiculously, The Fudge Shop, who thanked us with Fudge for our service and multiple other people who shared their time and heart warming stories throughout this amazing experience. This meant so much to our family and is only the beginning of the incredible moments we will have along this journey.
Small kind acts are also part of our project. Sometimes you don't have to go "all out" to make someone's day or put a smile on someone's face. This day we left a little surprise for the next person at the laundry facility where we were staying that night!
Who doesn't love some microwave popcorn to go with their movie? The small things are as much fun as the big ones!
We were fortunate to be a part of Hands on Nashville and assist with their urban farm. This farm deals with not only growing food for less fortunate communities, but also educating these communities on agriculture and nutrition. What a great organization!
Family Futures is a great organization that has been helping the community for the past 30 years. They assist families with the resources they need to have success and also educate teens on the issues of violence in relationships and how to have a healthy start to hopefully a great family life. We had the pleasure of helping at their creation station nad making handmade cards (Thank You, Birthday, Get Well Soon, etc). What a fun way to spend the afternoon with each other and getting to hopefully share some smiles!
We randomly stumbled upon this adorable little ranch in Michigan. We loved it so much we stayed for an entire week and helped them clear trails. The staff was so nice and this place is incredible. We were thrilled to help!
While in Hot Springs, we met an incredible lady with an incredible story. She had recently been through a near death experience and shared her miraculous, recent recovery with us. She used her story to give thanks to God for her coming out of such a dark time. We were thinking of her and wanted to do something special for her. During our conversation it came up that she had never been down to the Hot Springs to enjoy their spa services. So we were able to surprise her with a certificate and leave it for her. She sent us an extremely touching e-mail showing her gratitude. We were hoping it would brighten her day and we were so glad to hear that it did.
We had the pleasure of spending the entire day at the Salvation Army in Tyler, Texas. We had no idea what an amazing operation they have to combat homelessness and help the less fortunate in communities across the country. We met up with Jennifer, who was a fabulous host and gave us a tour of their rather impressive facility downtown. We were able to lend a hand in the soup kitchen, help reorganize the store and even sort out the angel kids for the angel tree! What a fabulous day, with fabulous people and fabulous organization!
We were able to help out for the afternoon at a place our entire family was passionate about in Livingston. These adorable furry friends gave us an afternoon full of puppy kisses and put smiles on all of our faces. They were so appreciative of a good walk and we enjoyed every minute of it. We only wish we could have taken them all home, but I don't think they would have all fit into the RV!
You guys are absolutely inspirational. Yes, one purposeful, kind act toward another can inspire others and change lives!

Reeve specializes in strategic sustainability advisory services, with a focus on sustainable procurement.
Most of an organization's social and environmental impacts occur in their supply chain. Sustainable procurement is one of the most powerful mechanisms to drive corporate priorities and innovation. It is also good business. Our clients get immense strategic value from sustainable purchasing—through smaller footprints, financial savings, stronger brands and innovative partnerships. Whether your organization is looking for opportunities to deepen its social purpose, safeguard against poor labour practices, or apply green and circular economy principles, we help you find the right place to start.
While a high-performing program has all of the following elements in place, we recognize it takes time to develop each of these areas. Learn more about which program elements are right for you.
Developing and regularly updating a Sustainable Purchasing Policy or guideline provides clarity to staff on the importance of sustainable purchasing to your organization, corporate sustainability commitments and priorities, and how to consider them in procurement processes.
A Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the minimum ethical, health, safety and environmental standards that Suppliers are expected to meet with regard to their operations (e.g., no sweat-shops, no discrimination, compliance with environmental regulations). A Code may also contain information on how supplier conformance with the Code will be assessed. Organizations typically request suppliers to endorse the Code of Conduct at the time of contracting.
A Sustainable Procurement Strategy sets out your long-term vision to address the sustainability risks, impacts and opportunities in your supply chain. For best results, this Strategy should align with your corporate sustainability commitments and priorities. Action Plans are phased implementation plans that will help you organize your resources to reach your sustainable procurement goals.
Sustainable procurement tools help client departments and procurement staff assess risks, update specifications and evaluate bid responses. Tools could include sustainability checklists, third-party certifications, RFX language, supplier questionnaires, and weighting criteria for sustainability. Tools standardize the approach to considering sustainability.
Procedures that are optimized to be current and provide staff with a standard approach to applying sustainability tools within the appropriate point in the requisitioning and procurement processes. Procedures help staff know when to use new tools and how they can use the information the tools provide.
A Shopping List or Buying Guide identifies procurement categories of special interest for sustainable purchasing, usually in industries offering a range of more sustainable alternatives and where third-party certification has been developed. Shopping Lists may be accompanied by information on product categories that identifies risks, impacts, opportunities and relevant certification options.
Purchasing often happens in many ways across an organization, by many different people. People need orientation to new policies and guidelines around sustainable procurement, to understand why the policy is relevant to them and how to apply it. There are many creative ways to communicate key messages to various audiences within the organization, as well as to offer interactive training sessions that inspire peer dialogue, critical thinking, and innovation. Investing in communications and training will build support for your sustainable procurement work and accelerate your success in implementation.
It's important to take regular stock of how you are doing on achieving your long-term vision to address the sustainability risks, impacts and opportunities in your supply chain. Your monitoring and evaluation plan may include contract monitoring and verification, developing key performance indicators, assigning measurable implementation targets, and evaluating success through a reporting framework that promotes transparency. Your sustainable procurement results may feature in internal reports to leadership and may be included in broader corporate sustainability reporting. We also recommend using regular review periods to check in with your team on the implementation process—identifying successes, what is working well, and bringing creativity to any challenges and barriers.
Engaging suppliers on sustainability is a powerful way to deepen your sustainability impact. Engagement begins with communicating your sustainable procurement strategy to prospective and current suppliers and inviting them to work with you to achieve your goals. In some cases, suppliers may be leading edge on sustainability innovation and able to help inform your expectations; in other cases, you may need to provide orientation and training. Sustainability can become a part of your vendor performance management, which can yield sustainability data for impact monitoring and reporting and lead to strategic partnerships that may yield technical and financial resources to take your sustainability program to the next level.
There are exciting opportunities to collaborate with other organizations—municipalities, government agencies, First Nations and non-profits—to develop larger scale, mutually beneficial initiatives. One example is building infrastructure such as charging stations for electrical vehicles, but there are many more. Collaborative buying and shared investment in market research are opportunities, as well as sharing accomplishments and lessons learned with other public organizations through the Municipal Collaboration for Sustainable Procurement (MCSP) or other sustainability communities of practice.
Having a sustainability impact strategy has become the industry standard. We specialize in advising on sustainability strategies for public and private sector clients and specialize in working with major sporting events. Reeve has played lead roles in the sustainability, ethical sourcing and impact reporting programs for the 2010 and 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the 2015 Canada Winter Games and most recently the Special Olympics 2018 USA Games.
National and international sporting events can be a powerful voice for sustainability, showcasing the interconnectedness of social inclusion with community development, environmental stewardship and responsible labour practices. Sustainability provides a platform for every stakeholder involved in the event—host city, sponsors and partners—to tell their sustainable brand story.
We know the international standards for sustainability reporting and can help you choose the strategic direction and level of effort that is right for your organization.
We can help you create a high impact Communications and Engagement Strategies to ensure that all of your internal and external stakeholders understand your new goals and objectives around sustainability and responsible sourcing. We create clear messages and strong calls to action for key audiences and develop creative ways to share stories that inspire more action. Our interactive, multi-media training programs that build ownership within teams for implementing sustainability goals.
Reeve presents regularly at sustainable procurement industry conferences such as the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council (SPLC) Summit, the Canadian Fair Trade Network Conference, Federation of Canadian Municipalities Conference, Institute for Supply Management Conference, and the Supply Chain Management Association Conference. We would be pleased to customize a presentation for your event.


Each year, the Burlington Fire Department responds to an average of 650 accidents or, as we call them, motor vehicle collisions (MVC). The Vehicle Rescue Team helps the Burlington Fire Department with highly trained men and women who are ready to respond to an emergency and get you out of your vehicle if you are trapped after an accident. They do this by using the latest extrication knowledge, training, proven rescue techniques and equipment.
Vehicle rescue is The Burlington Fire Department's main role at any car accident scene.
Scene safety. We make sure there are no hazards on the scene that are a danger to the public, patients or first responders.
Stabilization. Often vehicles involved in a violent crash are left in unstable condition. Any movement of the vehicle can cause further injury to a patient and potentially a rescuer. A vehicle on its side, roof or other extremely unstable condition needs special training and equipment for stabilization.
Patient care. Firefighters are often first on scene and provide initial contact and patient care. In Burlington, Halton paramedics are always the lead caregivers on scene, working hand-in-hand with firefighters to ensure the best possible outcome in any situation.
Extrication. This is the process of removing a vehicle from around a person who has been involved in a motor vehicle collision or accident. When normal means of exit are impossible or inadvisable, a delicate approach is needed to reduce injury to the patient during the extrication. This operation is typically done by using stabilization equipment, heavy hydraulic cutters/spreaders as well as electric and pneumatic tools. You may have heard this equipment called the Jaws of Life.
In 1984 the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office hosted the first vehicle rescue competition and learning symposium in Gravenhurst, Ont. The Burlington Fire Department team participated in this first competition and continues to attend competitions and learning symposiums today. Competitions bring together firefighters from different geographical regions to share a range of skills and experience.
Unlimited Pit: In the unlimited pit you are free to use any tools you wish. Heavy hydraulic cutter and spreaders, pneumatic and electric tools are all permitted.
Limited Pit: In the limited pit, hydraulic tools are not allowed. In some cases not all municipalities have those hydraulic tools on every truck or available at every call. It is also a greater test of tool knowledge, using different tools that can require a greater skill set to operate.
Each team has 20 minutes to complete their work in what first responders refer to as "The Golden Hour". The golden hour is a one-hour period following traumatic injury during which there is the greatest chances of survival.
The Vehicle Rescue Team receives all its funding through sponsorships and proceeds from its electronic waste recycling program. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please let us know.
Station No. 1, located at 1255 Fairview St.
Station No. 7, located at 4100 Dundas St.
What can I drop off for e-recycling?
We use Green Tec Recycling Solutions to recycle electronics. Please clear any personal information from your electronics before drop-off.
Monitors and CRT TVs up to 39"
Please do not drop off items that cannot be accepted or recycled through this program.
