2.2.1. Go over learning object 2 to get familiar with 7 tips to improve
listening skills. Now put them into practice!
Here are seven listening skills that you
need to develop if you want to understand most native English speakers.
Second, recognized reduce forms. A reduce form is an expression after it has been
reduced (that is, made smaller or spoken more quickly).
Third, don’t
get distracted by fillers. A filler is a word, an expression or a sound
that we use when we are trying to decide what to say next (like uh, um, you
know).
Four, recognize
words without stress. Stressed vowels are generally louder and longer. The
English language stresses nouns, main verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. The
English language does not stress pronouns, helping words, determines,
conjunctions and prepositions.
Fifth, focus on
words with stress. The words that have more meaning are stressed words:
Nouns, main verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
Sixth, understand fast English speaking. You need to
develop the ability to understand those who speak very quickly.
Seventh, ignore
extra noise. Sometimes it is necessary to specially concentrate because the
extra noise about the speaker can be distracting.
2.2.2. Open your Market Leader book on
page 67 and develop exercises A to C on listening.
Managing people
2.2.2.1. (A).
CD2.1. Ros Pomeroy, a management consultant, talks about the people she likes
to work with.
Listen to the first part of the interview.
Which adjectives from Vocabulary Exercise A does she mention?
Hard-working, reliable, creative
2.2.2.2.
(B). CD2.2. Listen to the second part of the interview and answer these
questions.
1. Why did
team members hide information from one bad manager?
I can
think of one manager who often criticized members of her team in from of others.
2. Why were
the team members not prepared to take any risks?
Because
they knew that if something went wrong, then she would not support them.
Well, luckily, I have met and worked with several good
managers, and these are people who are willing to delegate; that is, they will
give a task to a team member to get on and complete. They are less involved in how a task is done, but they are clear about
setting the objective and being clear about what results they expect. And a god manager will also give praise and feedback to a team member when they do a good job.
Good and
bad advertising
1.
What’s your
favourite advert on TV at the moment? Why do you like it?
Everyone ads that leave a message of
happiness and peace in addition to advertise your product.
2.
Can you
give an example of a bad advert?
Travel agents who say that paying as much
entitled to everything and when using this is that it is not all but a part.
3.
Do you
think there is too much advertising?
Yes, sometimes extending far or repeated
and annoying.
An organization development consultant.
Which of the questions in Exercise A does she answer?
An advert
I really don’t like is one for a snack product of potato crisps. It`s about a
man choosing whether he loves the potato crisps more than his partner or not. I
think this is completely unrealistic, and it also goes on for a long time.
1.
What is the
product in the advert she does not like?
One for a
snack product of potato crisps.
2.
What is the
advert about?
It`s
about a man choosing whether he loves the potato crisps more than his partner
or not.
3.
Why does she
not like the advert? (Give two reasons.)
I think
this is completely unrealistic, and it also goes on for a long time.
2.2.3.6. (D). CD2.13. In the second part of the interview, Liz
Credé talks about what makes an advert really effective. Listen and complete this
extract.
I think what makes it effective is for it to be very memorable, that you remember a key message or the main product in it. One that I particularly like at the moment is
the Honda cars advert, which uses pictures of flowers in the countryside to
give a very modern message about the engine and the cars.
·
Adverts should not promote child labor.
·
Adverts should not promote drug or alcoholic beverages.
·
Adverts should not promote false advertising.
·
Adverts should not have hidden messages.
What
example does she give?
I’m thinking particularly about cleaning products,
which claim to remove stains, but they don’t do it when I try them at home.
