About jobs and professions

H: Is it expensive to send someone a singing telegram?

R: Not really, each singing telegram costs about $50.

H: Who hires you?

R: Actually, I work for an agency “Say it with a song.”

H: So, let’s say I want to send a singing telegram to my wife. What do I do?

R: Just make a phone call. Phone the agency and tell them you want to hire me, Ron Bates, to deliver a singing telegram. They’ll ask you a few questions. Just tell them what the occasion is and what day you want the telegram delivered.Then just wait for the special day when I show up at your wife’s work place and deliver your singing telegram. and deliver your singing telegram.

H: And who do I pay? Do I pay you or the agency?

R: The agency. Then the agency pays me.

H: I guess you don’t work alone. Who helps you?

R: My wife Mary. She buys some flowers, then she comes with me and takes some pictures as I give the person flowers and sing the song.

It is a gift from a special friend; it reminds me of her and the importance of friendship and staying in touch.

2. Why do you feel strongly about it? Each time I look at the dolls and each time I hold them in my hand I am reminded of my friend who’s not here anymore. It reminds me of all the special times we had together.
3. Why do you want to share it with the class? I wanted to show these dolls because they are interesting and because I think they’d like the story behind it: a token of friendship to cherish forever. It’s an important message.

***answering the above questions is like having a brainstorming session. Now you have to organize the information about your object into a presentation that would have those components we talked about (Start, Middle, End).


THIS PRESENTATION’S TIME LIMIT: 5 minutes
After 5 minutes is up you will be interrupted.

START

(greeting the audience) Hello, thank you for being here to listen to my presentation.
(hook). I am sure that everyone here has an object they cherish, something that is special and meaningful to you. Do you still keep your teddy bear? Or your first sports trophy? Perhaps a movie ticket? An old diary? We all have some things that are meaningless to anyone but us.

(introduction - show the object): I’d like to tell you about my precious object): a set of Russian “nesting dolls”, Matryoshkas or Babushkas in Russian. You can buy them anywhere in the world, not only in Russia

(telling about the presentation structure). I’ll describe my dolls to you, tell you their history and explain why they are so meaningful and special to me.

(questioning rules) At the end of the presentation, I will welcome your questions and comments, should you have any. Also, feel free to demand more clarifications and ask questions during the presentation by raising your hand.
MIDDLE
a) (objective information)

As I said before, what I have here in my hand is a set of Russian Matryoshkas or Babushkas, nesting dolls. They are called nesting because they nest within each other: you open the biggest one, only to find a smaller one inside, and then a smaller one, and so on, all the way to the last tiny one that is in one piece and does not open. They originate from the 19th century Russia and are probably the most famous Russian souvenir. There are many different styles of nesting dolls, representing animals, Santa Clauses, political figures. Once, in Hungary, I saw a nesting doll set that featured all the nasty politicians of the world: you open the big Saddam Houssein, to find a smaller George Bush inside, then Kim, Jung-il, Khommeini, etc. My favourites, however, are simple Matryoshkas/ Babushka that represent Russian mothers and grandmothers in their headscarves and serene faces.

My set’s predominant colour is pink with flower patterns. I especially like their cute faces that feature big eyes, long eyelashes, pink cheeks and red lips. They look very cute and funny. The set has 5 pieces made from wood, but it’s very light. It’s also very small - it can fit in the palm of my hand. I can keep it on my desk in one piece or I can take them all out and have a whole army smiling at me.

b) (subjective information)

I got this set two years ago from my friend Jiwon who had bought it while traveling in Russia. She gave them to me just before she left Korea to go back to her home town New York. They are very precious to me because they remind me of her, one of my closest friends, and of all the great times we shared here in Korea. We met through our hiking club. Like me, she is an avid hiker, and like me, she likes to eat kimchi jeon and drink dong-dong ju after a hard day on the mountain. We spent every Saturday together for about 2,5 years. When she decided to go back to New York, I was very saddened, and I knew I’d miss her a lot. At her farewell party, she gave me these dolls telling me: “these should cheer you up; each time you look at them, you should smile, and imagine me smiling back at you.” I do. They sit on a window sill in my office and they cheer me up when I feel tired or upset.

I wanted to show you these dolls because they are a testament to the importance of friends and memories. Every once in a while we need to remind ourselves what is really important in our lives. Money and success are great but if there’s no one there to love you and care for you, it’s all meaningless. My dolls remind me of my true friend.

CONCLUSION
I hope that you enjoyed listening to the story about my precious set of Russian dolls. Although they are a cheap wooden souvenir, they are made special because they were given to me by a special person and they also carry a message of caring and friendship.

Now, I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.

BEC: WEEK OF APRIL 23-27. MID-TERM ORAL

REGARDING YOUR ORAL EXAM:

YOU MUST PREPARE ALL 30 QUSTIONS.

I have said it at least 10 times in the class. I also showed you on the example with other students what your oral exam will be. I am really, really surprised that you still don't understand. Maybe you should pay a lot more attention in class than you do.

Which questions you will have to answer is pure luck: you will draw a strip of paper with a question on it and you will ask your partner. It can be any of the 30 questions.

EXAMPLE (PLEASE, I BEG YOU read carefully!!!)

STUDENT 1: (draws one strip of paper from the pile of 30 strips; reads the question and asks his or her partner to answer.)
STUDENT 2: answers the questions with 2-3 sentences.
STUDENT 1: asks a 'follow-up' question. This question is not on the list. You must ask it from your own head, depending on what student 1 answered to your previous question.
STUDENT 2: answers the follow up question in one sentence.

THEN: reverse the roles, meaning, Student 2 now draws the questions, student 1 answers; students 2 asks the follow-up question; student 1 answers.
You and your partner will be doing this for about 5-7 minutes.

READ THE EXAMPLE:

Student 1: Which is your favourite movie? (a question from one of the 30 questions)
Student 2: I really like "Love actually." It is a romantic comedy. Actors are very good.
Student 1: Who is your favourite actor (this is a follow-up question, from your own head, connected to the topic of movies, anything about movies.)
Student 2: I really like Johnny Depp.

THEN YOU SWITCH THE ROLES. Student A draws a question and asks, and so on.

I wish that you who called your senior had been honest enough and told me in the class that you didn't understand.

Early Bird Writing. Week of April 16/19

About sentences, try this link:
http://www.geocities.com/fifth_grade_tpes/complete.html

Types of sentences: interrogative (?), declarative (.), exclamatory and imperative) (!).
Link:

http://www.geocities.com/fifth_grade_tpes/excl_inter.html


TOPIC SENTENCE

Every paragraph needs a topic sentence. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence of the paragraph. It gives the reader an idea of what the paragraph is going to be about.


The supporting sentences needs to be about the idea presented in the topic sentence. In a paragraph, every sentence should "belong". It should give the reader an idea of what the paragraph is going to be about.
Here is an example of a proper paragraph with supporting sentences:


I had a wonderful summer. First, I started sleeping in every day. I would then go swimming with my friends. I stayed up late watching TV a lot, and I went to camp for a week. I wished my summer would never end!

What is the topic sentence? (Ask yourself what the paragraph is about.)


"I had a wonderful summer" is the topic sentence. Everything else supports that idea. The final sentence is the concluding sentence. It sums up what the author wants to communicate in the paragraph. "I wished my summer would never end!".

Here is an example of a paragraph that has a sentence that doesn't quite fit in. Try to find it!

Regardless of what some people may think, the desert is a beautiful place. The blossoming wildflowers in the spring are a joy to see. Spectacular sunsets delight the eye. Sometimes I go swimming. The occasional quail or roadrunner dart across the sandy roads. It is a unique experience.

What doesn't belong?

"Sometimes I go swimming" has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic sentence that states that the desert is a beautiful place. Get rid of it!

PARAGRAPH ABOUT WHY I WANT TO LEARN ENGLISH

There are three reasons why I want to learn English. One reason is that English has become an international language. It is now used by most international companies, including the company where I work, for business communication. Another reason why I want to learn English is so that I can travel to English-speaking countries. The United States, England, Australia and many other countries all use English as their primary language. Finally, I want to learn English because I plan to move to the U.S. in the future. I will become a manager for my company soon. For all these reasons, I am very excited about learning English.
