I'm puzzled

The practice requires us to decide what the subject of the training course was.
Here is the text:

I've become a lot more organized since doing the course. Some of the things we learned are too quite easy to do, but they're effective and I'm no longer under such pressure from deadlines. I suppose a large part of the course was about setting targets and managing diaries properly. We also talked about ways of being more efficient like grouping similar tasks together.

Is it stress management course or time management? Why?


There is another practice:

Sorry to bother you, but I'm in the process of renewing a patent and I remember you had to do the same thing last year. I wondered whether you could give me an idea of what the first step is, and so on. —the procedure.

The main porpose is "to ask some information" or "to ask for somebody's opinion"?


Can some one help me? I found my opinion was different with the answer key.

Hi Lilac, The first seems to be about time management, and the second seems to be asking for information. Neither is written in particularly good English, however, so the writer's communication may be inaccurate.

If the key is of the same quality as the text, yes.
