video does'nt work

Hello Darwincito,

I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with the video. I have checked the page and everything seems to be working correctly so I the issue must be a local one. If you're accessing the page on a mobile device you might try, if possible, using a different device (a laptop or desktop computer) as some mobile devices have problems with some multimedia types. You could also check the security permissions on your device to see if any kinds of multimedia plugins are blocked.

Yes, I met my partner at work. At first, we don't know each other. But after talking about work, we introduced ourselves.

Is it correct that Task 1 has only one question or there should be more?
