Help needed on CELTA pre-interview tasks.

I doubt that this does, Andy.

Fraud: A false representation of a matter of fact—whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what should have been disclosed—that deceives and is intended to deceive another so that the individual will act upon it to her or his legal injury. Fraud is commonly understood as dishonesty calculated for advantage.

Fraud must be proved by showing that the defendant's actions involved five separate elements: (1) a false statement of a material fact,(2) knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue, (3) intent on the part of the defendant to deceive the alleged victim, (4) justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement, and (5) injury to the alleged victim as a result.

Thanks for that, Mister Micawber.

I'm less interested in dictionary definitions than by the act of deception that has taken place.

We have to take applications in good faith and it would be disappointing to those on our waiting list to know that someone has used someone else's work to gain an advantage.

[Mister Micawber]

I completely agree with your feelings, but there has been no deception because there has been no claim of origin except yours. In fact, the thread, from its inception, has been clearly titled 'Help needed on CELTA pre-interview tasks'.

If you in any way formally restrict distribution of your materials, then your complaint is against your applicant, not us. Such dissemination of information is common and natural; that is why language proficiency examination questions are changed with each sitting.

However, I am not an administrator here, I just answer language questions. I'm sure that management will take your request into serious consideration. For promptest attention, I suggest that you PM Torsten.

I don't have a complaint with you. I am not suggesting fraud on your part at all.

I would like this thread taken down now that you know its true purpose.

(and by the way 'fast' is not a misprint!)

[Mister Micawber]

I have just proofread my own last post, and I see no misprints there, either.

Haha, indeed. I was referring to the confusion in the thread over one of our questions.

Are you going to take this thread down please?

[Mister Micawber]

It is not within my purview – as I explained in my proofread post! "For promptest attention, I suggest that you PM Torsten."

I'm just trying to get my post count up to the requisite number to send a pm.

[Mister Micawber]

How many do you need?
