Hi everyone! Víctor here. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.
I’m going to summarize what we did last Thursday in class. Firstly, we made a role-play in pairs in which one person was the psychologist and the other person explained a problem given in relation to her partner who is becoming addicted to social networks.
Secondly we saw a very funny YouTube clip regarding Facebook, but the video is set in the 50’s instead of today. After that, we did some exercises in regards to the vocabulary commonly used in that time and in relation to general post-viewing questions. Besides, we reviewed some colloquial acronyms. For instance: TMI or SUV which means “Too much information” and “Sport utility vehicle” respectively.
Thirdly we watched a short episode of the sitcom “I love Lucy”. In this episode Lucy is pregnant and is worried about the way of speak of her husband, and how it could affect the baby in the future. Her husband is Cuban and doesn’t pronounce well some words e.g.: bough, through, rough and cough. At the end of the episode, he realizes that in spite of this words have the same vowel, their pronunciation is completely different. The pronunciation of these word is: /baʊ/, /θruː/, / rʌf/and /kɒf/
This video introduced the last topic in class: common vowel sounds. For example we learnt that “When 2 vowels go walking, the first one does the talking”.
