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).

요약

이 액티비티는 문장의 정확성과 복잡성을 개선하기 위해 고안되었습니다. 대부분의 학생들은 문장에서 핵심 내용 단어를 생성 할 수 있습니다. 그러나 기능적 단어가 어렵거나 중요하지 않은 것처럼 보일 수 있기 때문에 정확성에 어려움이 있습니다. 이 액티비티는 학습자가 실수에 대한 즉각적인 피드백을 제공함으로써 이러한 기능적 단어의 문제를 제거하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 또한 학생들이 보다 자연스럽고 다양하며 복잡한 문장 구조를 사용하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

팁 : 문장을 크게 말하세요. 자주 저지르는 실수 유형과, 이러한 유형의 오류에 집중하세요. (단수 / 복수, 주어-동사 일치, 관사 사용, 전치사, 동명사 및 부정사, 명사절, 형용사절, 어순 및 단어 형태)

triangle Listen & Repeat 듣고 따라하기 Ouça e repita Escuchar y repetir [ ? ]

Listen & Repeat


This activity has two purposes.

The first purpose is to improve listening accuracy. Learners can often understand the general meaning of a video but still not hear and understand many of the words that are said. This is because native speakers tend to say the functional words unclearly. (eg. don’t know, going to, want to, can’t, must have) This activity is designed to help learners improve their ability to hear these words.

TIP: Learners should listen, and then try to repeat exactly what they hear. Then they should click “Show” and read the sentence. After reading the sentence, learners should listen again and try to hear each word.

The second purpose is to improve pronunciation.

TIP: Learners should listen to and read the sentences at the same time. Then learners should try to copy the pronunciation and intonation of the speaker exactly.

TIP: Exaggerating the intonation and feeling of the speaker is useful. It may feel awkward or funny, but it will help you sound more natural.

Escuchar y Repetir

Esta actividad tiene dos propósitos separados.

El primer propósito es mejorar la precisión auditiva. Los estudiantes a menudo pueden comprender el significado general de un video, pero aún no escuchan ni comprenden muchas de las palabras que se dicen. En particular, los hablantes nativos tienden a decir las palabras funcionales (p. Ej., No sé, voy a, quiero, no puedo, debe haberlo hecho) de manera poco clara. Esta actividad está diseñada para ayudar a los alumnos a mejorar su capacidad para escuchar estas palabras.

CONSEJO: Los alumnos deben escuchar y luego intentar repetir exactamente lo que se dijo. Luego deben hacer clic en "Show" y leer la oración. Después de leer la oración, los alumnos deben volver a escuchar e intentar escuchar cada palabra.

El segundo propósito es mejorar la pronunciación.

CONSEJO: Los alumnos deben escuchar y leer las oraciones al mismo tiempo. Luego, los alumnos deben intentar copiar la pronunciación y la entonación del hablante.

CONSEJO: Es útil exagerar la entonación y el sentimiento del hablante. Puede parecer incómodo o divertido, pero te ayudará a sonar más natural.

듣고 따라하기

이 액티비티에는 두 가지 목적이 있습니다.

첫 번째 목적은 청취 정확도를 높이는 것입니다. 학생들은 종종 비디오의 일반적인 의미를 이해할 수 있지만 여전히 많은 단어를 듣고 이해하지 못합니다. 특히 원어민은 기능적 단어 (예 : 모르겠다, 갈 것, 갖고 싶어, 가질 수 없어야 한다)를 불분명하게 말하는 경향이 있습니다. 이 액티비티는 학습자가 이러한 단어를 듣는 능력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 고안되었습니다.

팁 : 학습자는 듣고 나서 말한 내용을 정확하게 반복해야 합니다. 그들은“Show”를 클릭하고 문장을 읽어야 합니다. 문장을 읽은 후 학습자는 다시 듣고 각 단어를 들어야 합니다.

두 번째 목적은 발음을 향상시키는 것입니다.

팁 : 학습자는 동시에 문장을 듣고 읽어야 합니다. 그런 다음 학습자는 화자의 발음과 억양을 따라 해 보아야 합니다.

팁 : 화자의 억양과 느낌을 과장하는 것이 유용합니다. 어색하거나 재미있게 느껴질 수 있지만 더 자연스럽게 들리는 데 도움이 됩니다.

Ouvir e repetir


Esta atividade tem dois propósitos.

O primeiro objetivo é melhorar a precisão auditiva. Os alunos geralmente podem entender o significado geral de um vídeo, mas ainda não ouvem e entendem muitas das palavras que são ditas. Isso ocorre porque os falantes nativos tendem a dizer as palavras funcionais de forma pouco clara. (por exemplo, não sei, vou, quero, não posso, devo ter) Esta atividade é projetada para ajudar os alunos a melhorar sua capacidade de ouvir essas palavras.

DICA: os alunos devem ouvir e tentar repetir exatamente o que ouviram. Em seguida, deveriam clicar em “Mostrar” e ler a frase. Depois de ler a frase, os alunos devem ouvir novamente e tentar ouvir cada palavra.

O segundo objetivo é melhorar a pronúncia.

DICA: os alunos devem ouvir e ler as frases ao mesmo tempo. Em seguida, os alunos devem tentar copiar exatamente a pronúncia e a entonação do falante.

DICA: É útil exagerar na entonação e no sentimento do falante. Pode parecer estranho ou engraçado, mas ajudará você a soar mais natural.

Clip 3

And CC him on all my e-mails?



Clip 4

Did we get yesterday's numbers?



Clip 5

And I need to go over the data on customer purchase patterns.



Clip 6

Let Ben take a look at that, too.



Clip 7

I've been here nine months, Ben, and she has never asked me to take a look at anything for her ever, okay?



Clip 8

I happen to think you do a lot of things right.



Clip 9

I bust my ass for her 14 hours a day, and she never notices.



Clip 10

Okay, let's see what she does at checkout.



Clip 11

Okay, maybe check the delivery cost on those boots?



Clip 12

Should I come back?



Clip 13

It seems the most expensive place you're advertising is actually bringing you the customers who are spending the least.



Clip 14

And the channels you're least investing in are adding enormous value in segments that currently appear to have low value but actually have the highest spending potential.



Clip 15

And, Jules, Becky was a huge help in this. You know, she has a business degree from Penn?



Clip 16

I'll say something to her.

  1. Becky feels threatened and underappreciated when Ben is sent to help her. Is she overreacting? Does she have the right to be upset? How would you feel if you were in her situation?
  2. Becky's desk is very disorganized. Do you think this means that she is also a disorganized person?
  3. Becky is young and well-educated. Ben is old and experienced. Who do you think is more suitable as Jules's personal assistant?
  4. Earlier in the movie, Jules is angry because the investors want to hire a CEO to make her job easier. Then she promotes Ben to help Becky and make her job easier. Is she being hypocritical? Is it the same situation? Why?
  5. What are the most effective ways for a boss to show appreciation to her/his workers (other than money)?
  6. Have you ever had a boss that didn't notice your work or appreciate your effort? How did you deal with the situation? Did you complain directly to her or him?
  7. Jules and Cameron are watching customers use their website in real time. How would you feel if they were watching you?
  8. How do you feel about online shopping websites tracking your spending habits? Do you appreciate their purchase suggestions? Or do you feel it is an invasion of privacy? Why?

Ben: No, I promise I'll stay out of your way.

Becky: But it's impossible because now I don't have room for...

Jules: Hi. This is good, right? I like this arrangement.

Jules: Uh, Becky, I want you to let Ben give you a hand, okay? And CC him on all my e-mails? Did we get yesterday's numbers?

Becky: Uh, yes, we did. I saw them here. Here you go.

Jules: And I need to go over the data on customer purchase patterns. Let Ben take a look at that, too. Actually, let Ben take a look at that first.

Becky: Okay.

Jules: Don't worry, Becky. Backup's good. Ping me when Cameron gets in?

Jason: Hey.

Ben: Becky?

Becky: I've been here nine months, Ben, and she has never asked me to take a look at anything for her ever, okay?

Ben: I hear you. That's frustrating.

Becky: I mean, totally. I graduated from Penn. I have a business degree. But I never seem to do anything right around here. And you're like 50 years older than me, and you're deaf.

Ben: I happen to think you do a lot of things right.

Jason: You do so much.

Becky: I know. I know that. But she doesn’t. I mean, I bust my ass for her 14 hours a day, and she never notices.


Cameron: That’s very nice St. Louis. Suede jacket in D.C.

Jules: I'm so happy.

Cameron: Beautiful Miami. Thank you.

Jules: Oh. Look at Chicago. She put the same boots in her cart as the woman from Houston.

Cameron Okay, let's see what she does at checkout. She's not buying them either.

Jules: Okay, maybe check the delivery cost on those boots?

Cameron: Mm-Hmm.

Ben: Hi. I took a look at the data purchase patterns. Should I come back?

Jules: No, no, come on in. That was fast.

Ben: Well, I enlisted Becky's help. It seems the most expensive place you're advertising is actually bringing you the customers who are spending the least. And the channels you're least investing in are adding enormous value in segments that currently appear to have low value but actually have the highest spending potential. That's what I could tell so far.

Jules: Oh, Ben. Can you, like, deal with that for me? Maybe come up with a better plan? I mean, if you have the time?

Ben: Happy to.

Jules: The man spent 40 years in business.

Cameron: Yeah, no, I get it.

Ben: And, Jules, Becky was a huge help in this. You know, she has a business degree from Penn?

Jules: I know. I mean, I forgot, but I know. I'll say something to her.

Ben: That would be very nice.
