s:
Sorry, can I ask you? I missed your lesson about portfolios and I have many 
questions. Could you explain one more time, please?
T: 
Sure. A portfolio is a collection of your individual work put together in a file. It 
belongs only to you and you can update it by adding your creative work.
s: 
so, are there any parts in a portfolio?
T:
Well, there are three parts in it. First, 
the
Passport
.
s:
 The
Passport
?
T:
Yes, it contains factual information about a learner.
s:
About a leaner like me?
T:
Hmm… Yes, it gives a history of your learning experiences about a particular 
subject. And the second is 
the
Biography
.
s:
What is that?
T:
For example, it may include a narrative story about the summer camp. 
s:
is that all?
T:
no, it also includes a lot of self-assessment materials such as checklists, 
aims that you have for the future. The last part is 
the Dossier.
