Conv. 3 July '13 7th class
For the trip to the Reina Sofía this Friday, we have several sheets and documents whihc I will post tomorrow. But as an "extra" for advanced students, Betsy has found this very funny interview with Dalí from the 60's and this way you have more time to see it. There is a transcript too. It even fits well into our conversation tomorrow because he is definitely someone who remained himself in New York--- and he even has a walking cane, like the Englishman in the song. It's only 6 minutes: I hope you can watch it and you enjoy it!!

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 speakING 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 ( the fact) THAT thESE 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”.
See you on Monday. Best regards,
