Summary

This activity is designed to improve sentence accuracy and complexity. Most students can produce the key content words in a sentence. However, they have difficulty with accuracy because the functional words are difficult or can seem unimportant. This activity will help learners eliminate problems with these functional words by giving them immediate feedback on the mistakes they are making. It will also help students develop their use of more natural, varied and complex sentence structures.

TIP: Say the sentence out loud. Notice the types of mistake you make often. Focus on those types of errors. (singular/plural, subject-verb agreement, article use, prepositions, gerunds and infinitives, noun clauses, adjective clauses, word order, and word forms.)

Resumen

Esta actividad está diseñada para mejorar la precisión y complejidad de las oraciones. La mayoría de los estudiantes pueden producir las palabras clave del contenido en una oración. Sin embargo, tienen dificultades con la precisión porque las palabras funcionales son difíciles o pueden parecer poco importantes. Esta actividad ayudará a los alumnos a eliminar problemas con estas palabras funcionales al brindarles retroalimentación inmediata sobre los errores que están cometiendo. También ayudará a los estudiantes a desarrollar su uso de estructuras de oraciones más naturales, variadas y complejas.

CONSEJO: Diga la oración en voz alta. Observe los tipos de errores que comete con frecuencia. Concéntrese en ese tipo de errores. (singular / plural, concordancia entre sujeto y verbo, uso del artículo, preposiciones, gerundios e infinitivos, cláusulas sustantivas, cláusulas adjetivas, orden de las palabras y formas de las palabras).

triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto

Researchers at Newcastle University in northern England found that some people suffer from a brain abnormality, which means they have an intense response to certain trigger sounds. James Gallaher is our science correspondent.

Now, James, sorry to interfere with your lunch, but...

Do you want a crisp?

I'll pass on that. Some people would be very upset by that noise, fortunately not me. But why would they be so upset?

Well, I think all of us find that kind of noise just a little bit annoying, but these are the people who have a disease called misophonia, and it's heightened. What this study has done, by brain scanning patients with this disease, is shown that their brains are wired up differently. And in these people, it's overly responsive to some sounds. So, that what I just did annoyed probably thousands of people by munching crisps, that would drive furious anger.

Well, let's annoy millions more.

We heard there: snoring, clicking pens, slurping, rustling newspaper, and munching an apple.

It can be really quite debilitating, this condition, can't it?

Yeah, I spoke to a couple of people who have the disease, and they've had to leave jobs because the environment they were working in was too much for them to cope with. Like One described just spending half an hour on a train—how normal is spending half an hour on the train? But so many people reading newspapers, the sound was so aggravating they kept on having to move where they were on a carriage.

I think it's very easy to say, 'Yeah, it really annoys me when people are in the cinema and they're eating popcorn,' but this is so much more than that.

Anything can be done about it?

All that's really there are coping mechanisms at the moment. So, people often rely on earplugs. If they know they're going to be in an environment that's going to aggravate them, they'll use earplugs.

The long-term future is that by understanding what's going wrong in the brain, you'll be able to start to manipulate that. And so, there are ideas about passing electric currents through the brain, and this is already done in some circumstances, quite safely.

On a serious note, there might be absolutely tens of thousands of children who suffer from this, and that may explain some behavior problems.

Well, this is exactly. What we don't know is how prevalent this is. My Twitter feed has gone absolutely bananas today, with people going, 'Oh my God, no one's ever talked about this, and I've had it my whole life. Finally, this explains what my 11-year-old child is like.'

I think, actually, this is like the first most important phase of this: actual recognition for something that does blight a lot of people's lives.
