Exercise 3 (Observations at the Airport)

*Neuro-linguistics: it is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language. As an interdisciplinary field, neuro-linguistics draws methododology and theory from fields such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, neurobiology, communication disorders, neuro-psychology, and computer science. Researchers are drawn to the field from a variety of backgrounds, bringing along a variety of experimental techniques as well as widely varying theoretical perspectives. Much work in neuro-linguistics is informed by models in psycholinguistics and theoretical linguistics, and is focused on investigating how the brain can implement the processes that theoretical and psycholinguistics propose are necessary in producing and comprehending language.

*CV: The word "CV" is an abbreviation of "Curriculum Vitae" which itself means "Course of Life". A CV's primary use is as a job-seeking tool, a document sent to prospective employers to showcase the author's suitability for a certain role. As such the CV should not reflect ALL of one's personal lifetime experiences and achievements but instead the experiences and achievements most relevant to a particular Job Role or Career Path.

The presentation and content of a CV changes from country to country due to cultural differences. This article has been written for those interested in the UK market including those who are looking for work in the UK from abroad and British Citizens looking for work at home.

*Re – in correspondence, the abbreviation Re means ` Regarding`.

* Ltd. – the abbreviation stands for a “private company limited by shares”

It is a type of company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, Scotland or that of certain Commonwealth countries and also the Republic of Ireland. It has shareholders with limited liability and its shares may not be offered to the general public, unlike those of public limited companies.

"Limited by shares" means that the company has shareholders, and that the liability of the shareholders to creditors of the company is limited to the capital originally invested, i.e. the nominal value of the shares and any premium paid in return for the issue of the shares by the company. A shareholder's personal assets are thereby protected in the event of the company's insolvency, but money invested in the company will be lost.

A limited company may be "private" or "public". A private limited company's disclosure requirements are lighter, but for this reason its shares may not be offered to the general public (and therefore cannot be traded on a public stock exchange). This is the major distinguishing feature between a private limited company and a public limited company. Most companies, particularly small companies, are private.

Private companies limited by shares are required to have the suffix "Limited" (often written "Ltd" or "Ltd.") or "Incorporated" ("Inc.") as part of their name, though the latter cannot be used in the UK or the Republic of Ireland. In the Republic of Ireland "Teoranta" ("Teo.") may be used instead, though this is limited mainly to Gaeltacht companies. "Cyfyngedig" ("Cyf.") may be used by Welsh companies in a similar fashion.
