1
00:00:02,140 --> 00:00:09,820
‫We're now going to look at some task cards for the common topic of Internet, so we take a look at two

2
00:00:09,820 --> 00:00:12,490
‫different cue cards for this topic.

3
00:00:12,910 --> 00:00:19,900
‫Internet is definitely very common across all four sections of the AIDS test.

4
00:00:20,170 --> 00:00:26,620
‫So it's going to be really useful to take a look at some specific vocabulary we can use when speaking

5
00:00:26,620 --> 00:00:27,740
‫about the Internet.

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,230
‫So here is our first cue card.

7
00:00:32,110 --> 00:00:36,120
‫Describe a website that you often use.

8
00:00:37,390 --> 00:00:48,850
‫You should say what the website is, how you use it, how you learnt about it, and explain why it is

9
00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:50,440
‫important to you.

10
00:00:51,550 --> 00:00:58,570
‫Of course, you'd have one minute to get some ideas down onto paper in the plan format that I showed

11
00:00:58,570 --> 00:01:03,270
‫you previously, if you like, and then you've got to speak for up to two minutes.

12
00:01:03,490 --> 00:01:11,650
‫So we're describing a website that we use a lot and we need to sort of discuss and explain what this

13
00:01:11,650 --> 00:01:12,820
‫website is.

14
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,380
‫OK, let's take a look at the first model answer.

15
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:29,710
‫It's probably fair to say there are a lot of websites I use frequently, I suppose one of the most useful

16
00:01:29,710 --> 00:01:32,780
‫websites I enjoy using is Google.

17
00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:44,140
‫It might be a bit of an obvious choice, but for me, Google is a real Swiss Army knife that solves

18
00:01:44,140 --> 00:01:48,790
‫a lot of my daily problems at its heart.

19
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:56,200
‫Google is actually just a search engine, but it has so many more options now.

20
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:07,740
‫Recently, I installed Google Suite, which is a collection of online apps, I use it often with friends

21
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:09,860
‫to collaborate on schoolwork.

22
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:14,070
‫Microsoft is so outdated now.

23
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,760
‫I can't really recall when I started using it.

24
00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:26,100
‫It's such an important resource, I guess it was when I first started using the Internet.

25
00:02:27,550 --> 00:02:33,120
‫When my family first got the Internet, I use search engines like Yahoo!

26
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,860
‫Or Ask Jeeves, I never visit those websites anymore.

27
00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:45,370
‫A great example of how I use Google is with research.

28
00:02:46,420 --> 00:02:54,520
‫Of course, not everything written on the Internet is true, but Google is great for researching and

29
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,170
‫finding articles that can help me write essays for college.

30
00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:04,450
‫I really find Google Sheets a handy application, too.

31
00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:11,320
‫It's basically like Microsoft Excel, but with more features and it's online.

32
00:03:12,370 --> 00:03:17,530
‫All in all, I'd say Google is an awesome website.

33
00:03:19,690 --> 00:03:26,690
‫And there we have a really well structured answer to a task to cue card.

34
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:36,130
‫There's lots of great vocabulary in here and as well, this answer actually is structured very logically.

35
00:03:36,130 --> 00:03:44,230
‫So it answers all those different things on the cue card question, but it also gives lots of examples

36
00:03:44,230 --> 00:03:44,740
‫to.

37
00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:49,550
‫So it's a really great piece of a speaking a model answer.

38
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,510
‫Let's take a look at some of the focused language in this answer.

39
00:03:56,300 --> 00:04:06,500
‫OK, so up first, we have this piece of vocabulary frequently, which gives an amount of time, if

40
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:14,870
‫you do something frequently, like I use the Internet frequently, it means I do it often.

41
00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:16,390
‫So I do it a lot.

42
00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:20,400
‫Here we have the collocation, an obvious choice.

43
00:04:20,410 --> 00:04:26,090
‫So if something is an obvious choice, it's an easy decision and easy pick.

44
00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:31,970
‫And here is a matter for save some idiomatic language.

45
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:40,310
‫If you call something, for example, Google a Swiss Army knife, it means that this thing has a lot

46
00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:41,690
‫of uses.

47
00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:49,660
‫So if you call something a Swiss Army knife, it means that this thing has a lot of different uses.

48
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:52,970
‫It's a very useful object or resource.

49
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:03,050
‫Just an opener here at its heart, so if we say we're not actually talking about anyone's heart, but

50
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:07,690
‫if we say at its heart, it means its true meaning.

51
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:12,080
‫So Google's true meaning is actually just a search engine.

52
00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:19,980
‫Which leads me onto the next piece of vocabulary that the noun phrase search engine.

53
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:29,000
‫So a search engine is something like Google or another type of search engine which lets us find websites

54
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,570
‫online.

55
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:38,840
‫Here I'm talking about Google Suite, which is a collection of online apps now, apps is quite simply

56
00:05:39,020 --> 00:05:42,110
‫applications, but shortened.

57
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:46,040
‫So it's a very native sounding piece of vocabulary apps.

58
00:05:47,630 --> 00:05:55,220
‫Collaborate means to work together on something, whether that be a website or could even be a game.

59
00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:59,380
‫And here we have this phrase outdated.

60
00:05:59,690 --> 00:06:01,730
‫So not everyone would agree.

61
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:10,850
‫But if we say something is outdated, it means it's no longer the most useful of its kind.

62
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:13,010
‫It's old fashioned.

63
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:23,950
‫OK, so this is a simple synonym for remember and of course, do remember to use a range of vocabulary

64
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:25,360
‫in your speaking.

65
00:06:25,690 --> 00:06:27,200
‫I can't really recall.

66
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:29,650
‫I can't really remember.

67
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:40,940
‫And here we have the verb visit for website, so we don't use different verbs for it, if we go on to

68
00:06:40,940 --> 00:06:46,250
‫a website, we use visit websites, a great example.

69
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:50,390
‫So as I was saying, there's lots of examples in this and so to.

70
00:06:51,700 --> 00:07:01,990
‫Articles, quite simply, this is some kind of writing on a website and finally a great opening expression

71
00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:08,020
‫to end our speaking in conclusion, all in all.

72
00:07:08,020 --> 00:07:11,590
‫So a really nice way to finish our speaking part.

73
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,370
‫OK, let's take a look at the next cue card.

74
00:07:19,070 --> 00:07:30,950
‫Discuss the most important benefits of the Internet, you should say what the benefits are, why they

75
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:39,860
‫are useful, how people use the Internet and explain if you enjoy using the Internet.

76
00:07:40,430 --> 00:07:45,050
‫So we're discussing some of the benefits of the Internet.

77
00:07:45,410 --> 00:07:47,400
‫Now, that's the main idea.

78
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:52,610
‫If you were to mention some of the negatives, too, that would also be OK.

79
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:59,450
‫As long as we answer the main question and of course, our bullet points, you should say, if you wanted

80
00:07:59,450 --> 00:08:04,670
‫to go on to talk about some of the the negatives of using the Internet, you could as well.

81
00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:08,890
‫But do make sure you're answering the cue card in full.

82
00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:16,790
‫So we're going to discuss the benefits of the Internet, what they are, how the Internet is used and

83
00:08:16,940 --> 00:08:19,380
‫if we like using the Internet.

84
00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:22,490
‫Let's take a look at the model and say.

85
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:33,690
‫Even though the Internet is considered a recent invention, it's definitely had a massive impact on

86
00:08:33,690 --> 00:08:35,150
‫society today.

87
00:08:36,370 --> 00:08:42,490
‫In fact, I'd go as far as saying it's revolutionized the way we live now.

88
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:51,970
‫I can remember when we didn't have the Internet, but I've got to say, I can't imagine life without

89
00:08:51,970 --> 00:08:52,260
‫it.

90
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:54,640
‫Isn't that kind of sad?

91
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,070
‫Many people believe there are plenty of policies and negativity using the Internet, but I'll tell you

92
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:08,480
‫about a few of the positives it has for me.

93
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:19,420
‫Social media has had such a big impact on my life, it's so easy to stay in touch with everyone.

94
00:09:20,390 --> 00:09:26,450
‫Now I can speak with friends who live across the world, which really is a massive breakthrough compared

95
00:09:26,450 --> 00:09:27,560
‫to when I was a kid.

96
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:34,330
‫I can even video call my friends and family, too, and it's all free.

97
00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:39,050
‫The Internet is a pretty amazing piece of technology, really.

98
00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:44,060
‫Another benefit is just for entertainment.

99
00:09:44,780 --> 00:09:51,020
‫It can be a bit of a waste of time, but there's so many interesting articles online that you can spend

100
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:53,690
‫hours browsing through all the website.

101
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:57,680
‫YouTube can be a real time Sokcho.

102
00:09:59,450 --> 00:10:07,820
‫Again, a really nicely organized answer with a lot of real life examples about some of the benefits

103
00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:09,320
‫of the Internet.

104
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,860
‫Let's take a look at some of the top focus language in this answer.

105
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:24,740
‫OK, the first phrase I'd like to look at is this collocation, but as well that this piece of vocabulary

106
00:10:24,740 --> 00:10:33,470
‫here, a recent invention, you commonly see this together, but an invention, of course, is a new

107
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:37,530
‫product or object that can solve a problem.

108
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,470
‫And here we have massive impact.

109
00:10:41,510 --> 00:10:47,140
‫So it sounds like something slamming into each other, but that's not actually the case.

110
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:56,660
‫If we say something had a massive impact, it means that it changed the way most people live.

111
00:10:57,050 --> 00:11:04,040
‫For example, the Internet had a massive impact on how people live in modern society.

112
00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:11,840
‫So a massive impact how we can talk about technology and Internet using this phrase.

113
00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:18,140
‫And here we have revolutionized in a similar way to massive impact.

114
00:11:18,290 --> 00:11:27,290
‫If we say as something revolutionized how we do something, it means it completely changed how we act,

115
00:11:27,290 --> 00:11:28,190
‫how we live.

116
00:11:28,670 --> 00:11:38,540
‫The Internet revolutionized how we read articles and books and newspapers, because really a lot of

117
00:11:38,540 --> 00:11:43,370
‫people now read everything online, whether it's on their laptop or their phone.

118
00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:52,430
‫Just a native sounding phrase here, policies and negatives, so if you say you're looking at the pluses

119
00:11:52,430 --> 00:11:58,070
‫and negatives of something, you're looking at the advantages and disadvantages.

120
00:11:58,370 --> 00:12:03,260
‫It's just another way that you can say this, but it's slightly more informal.

121
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:05,600
‫So usually keep this to speaking.

122
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:17,140
‫Here we have social media, which is websites and applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,

123
00:12:17,140 --> 00:12:22,950
‫all these kinds of things that connect us with friends and people we might not know as well.

124
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:25,720
‫That's social media.

125
00:12:27,170 --> 00:12:35,980
‫I hear the collocation stay in touch kind of figurative language, so it's almost an idiomatic expression

126
00:12:35,980 --> 00:12:40,350
‫because we aren't touching, but we are still communicating.

127
00:12:40,690 --> 00:12:48,520
‫So if we can say I stay in touch, you can say I stay in touch through Skype calls or video calls,

128
00:12:48,730 --> 00:12:50,980
‫which is what a lot of people do now.

129
00:12:52,710 --> 00:13:01,380
‫Here we have a breakthrough, which is how we can describe a piece of technology that is a recent invention

130
00:13:01,590 --> 00:13:08,160
‫that's really, really innovative, it's very it solves a lot of problems.

131
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,520
‫It may be a problem that we have had for a long time.

132
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,150
‫And this new product is a breakthrough.

133
00:13:15,150 --> 00:13:17,430
‫It's finally solved a problem.

134
00:13:18,910 --> 00:13:27,310
‫Here we have video call, which is quite simply a collocation, but it's self descriptive, I think.

135
00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:30,290
‫And finally, we have a piece of technology.

136
00:13:30,490 --> 00:13:38,190
‫So when we describe technology, one part of technology, we call it a piece of technology.

137
00:13:38,410 --> 00:13:46,740
‫For example, a microphone is a piece of technology and a motor is a piece of technology.

138
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,310
‫OK, into the last part, so we have a waste of time, if you say something is a waste of time.

139
00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:57,550
‫It means that you didn't get anything from the activity.

140
00:13:58,430 --> 00:14:01,490
‫Browsing is what we use to describe Web sites.

141
00:14:01,490 --> 00:14:03,770
‫So we browse websites.

142
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:08,630
‫And finally, this rather informal phrase.

143
00:14:08,630 --> 00:14:13,820
‫But you could use it possibly in your speaking to you can say something is a time suck.

144
00:14:14,090 --> 00:14:21,490
‫So if something is a time suck, it means that it wastes a lot of your time without you really noticing.

145
00:14:21,740 --> 00:14:28,820
‫For example, a lot of Internet applications such as YouTube, Facebook, social media, they can be

146
00:14:28,820 --> 00:14:34,190
‫real time and waste a lot of our time when we could be doing something more productive.

147
00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:42,510
‫OK, so some lovely vocabulary here to discuss the Internet, and that's all for this model answer.

148
00:14:42,530 --> 00:14:44,270
‫So see you in the next lesson.
