November 28, 2022
Preparation for graded activity in the next two days.
Instructions - Please keep in mind these things:
Listen for keywords
Get a sense for the type of recording.
- It may be a discussion between people.
- It may be a news article.
- It might be simply a topic that someone else is reporting.
- It might remind you of something else. (*)
Your description of the sound recording is important if you were to report to a friend what you heard, so that they will understand what you heard.
Review of the exercise:
After today's exercise: Many of the class got the details correct. However, what was missing was a description of the TYPE of thing they heard. In the maturita, you might be given a
* dialogue - two or more people speaking
* a news report - like evening news
* a story, fable or poem
And so, please start with the type of thing you are hearing, and then fo from there. This is my writing of what you heard. I just heard a description of a profession; almost like a warning or a job advertisement. It was a description of the work that animal carers must perform and what the life is like for these people. The description stated that many interested people (interested in this profession) might not realize how taxing (how much effort) is involved in this work.
November 24
important
I will choose one, and you will answer the questions for a grade. It means, you need to listen carefully. And answer the questions correctly.
