P.S. re Blog Post #4

Dear students,

Just a word to let you know that you can be brief this time. You do not have to answer question #4     ( as we already talked about it in class). Also, you do not have to  comment on your classmates' postings.

Happy long weekend!
Diana

Blog Post #4 - due before class on Tuesday, December 9

Dear students,

For the next few class periods, we will be addressing the theme of technology in various ways. In your  assignment below you will learn some slang terms used to talk about technology. Please watch the video, and then answer the questions that follow.

1. Can you find examples of the 3 aspects of slang you learned about ( expression, pronunciation and grammar)?
2. Which of these expressions have you heard before? Which have you never heard?
3. Which might you use in the future?
4. In what situations might these expressions be appropriate and inappropriate?

As you watch the video, please write the definitions of the slang expressions on the sheet you received in class.


Forgive my delay in commenting on your paraphrases of "We Gather." I still intend to do so over the weekend.

Best,

Diana

1. I like the second video, because this video give have subtitle, it afford our the important information about the whole video.But above all,  the reporter's pronounce is more clear than the first video, and she used easier grammar than the first. First video is also good, but the reporter's tempo is a little quickly. I need listen several time to understand what he said.

2. this song is praise gold. the lyric narrated some pain that people had suffer. Then told us the gold bring concern and love to people, give us many help. So people use this song to thanks gold. Thanks for his selfless giving and support.

Piaoyan, I like your summary, but make sure you praise God, and not gold ( though some people do praise gold)!
