Okay.
In this lecture video, I'm putting parts two and three together in the same lecture video.
Now, the purpose of this lecture video is for you to be able to work on your pronunciation.
This is a pronunciation practice video.
Again, this is a pronunciation practice video.
One more time.
This is a pronunciation practice video.
What I mean by that is I'm just going to read through parts two and three.
Consecutively.
I'm going to read through them consecutively.
I might take a little bit of pause to catch my breath, but I'm going to read through them consecutively.
And what you should do is you can listen to me pronounce all the words, and then afterwards you can
go through you can go through the the lecture yourself and try pronouncing the words the way that I
pronounce them, or just do the best you can with your own pronunciation.
So let's go ahead and get started.
And as I say it, I'm not I'm not I've already taught what's in part two and taught what's in part three.
So here again, I'm just going to read it directly all the way through.
And then your job is to stop it along the way and try to say it for yourself or to let me finish.
And then you kind of speak it all for yourself also and work on your pronunciation.
Okay.
Let's go.
So this one is going to be a read through of the first mobile phone question.
And if you need to, you can stop and look at the notes there for a second.
And and then I'm going to go ahead and go to the next screen and read directly straight through.
Describe your first mobile phone.
Although I've possessed countless wireless phones over the years due to damage or new model releases
and all, I'll always remember my Nokia 550, the first digital device I ever called my own.
I can distinctly remember that I was a high school freshman when I came into possession of, at this
time, one of the most technologically advanced field enabled phones.
The typical Bahamian secondary student.
Began school at 13 or 14 years of age, depending on their birth month.
Being that my birth month is February.
I was definitely 14 when I was awarded my Nokia 550.
I can further confirm this confirmed this age because my sister received her first phone at 15 and I
am one year younger than her.
As previously stated, I had just started high school when I received this phone and if my memory serves
me, it must have been summer 2000 when I first held this Nokia 550 in my hands.
Having only been 14 years of age at this time, I didn't actually purchase the phone myself.
Instead, my father had decided to snap up this cellular cellular in a flash sale and present it as
a birthday gift.
He had informed me the previous year that if I perform well in school, which I did, that he'd furnished
me with my first mobile.
As I just said, my receipt of this mobile phone occurred on my birthday during the hottest time of
the year.
I can't put into words the overwhelming excitement that filled my heart after I slowly removed the gift
wrapping and saw the words Nokia 550 printed on the outside of the box.
I held the box above my head like I had just won an Olympic medal, and for what I've been told, I
was actually jumping around like a kangaroo.
Immediately after I calm down, calm down somewhat, I dashed out the door and showed the neighbours
the new sale.
I can't recall word for word what I said on my first call, but it was something like Guess where I'm
calling you from?
Okay.
And now we will move into part number three for the mobile phones.
Do young and old people use?
Do young and old people use money the same way?
Wrong question.
There should be the young and old people use phones the same way, use phones the same way.
Everybody, young adults and their elders, distinctly use high, high tech cell phones in regards to
purpose.
Youngsters tend to heavily rely on the latest social media such as Snapchat, Tik Tok or Instagram,
whereas those who are 40 and up focused mainly on SMS or older social media like Facebook.
Generation X and Y.
Purchase a new phone just for the camera.
So they are definitely more into the picture capabilities than the baby boomer generation.
What are the differences between writing letters and text?
Well, the contrast between those two concepts come into play when first considering the length of what
is written.
You would never write a 1000 word text, whereas personal letters can easily reach that word count in
addition to the length.
We can also see the differences in regards to personalisation.
What I mean by that is letters have your distinct handwriting, which makes each unique while a text
message is devoid of that identifying marker.
Some feel mobile phones are annoying.
Can you give examples of how this might be the case?
I can definitely speak on this topic and I'll start with the rule.
People who have no idea that they are shouting unnecessarily into the phone and thereby disturbing the
peace of others.
I can remember this one time in the bank and this woman was literally speaking as if she were yelling
across the street to her friend.
Another irritating habit that comes to mind is when a person keeps looking at their phone during a personal
conversation.
I find this to be quite offensive and off putting.
I'll mention one more maddening ritual that I've seen, which is scrolling through social media during
a company meeting.
All right.
Thank you very much for joining us.
