1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:00,960 Okay. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:07,890 In this lecture video, I'm putting parts two and three together in the same lecture video. 3 00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:14,820 Now, the purpose of this lecture video is for you to be able to work on your pronunciation. 4 00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:20,580 This is a pronunciation practice video. 5 00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:25,830 Again, this is a pronunciation practice video. 6 00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:27,540 One more time. 7 00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:31,080 This is a pronunciation practice video. 8 00:00:31,230 --> 00:00:37,650 What I mean by that is I'm just going to read through parts two and three. 9 00:00:39,370 --> 00:00:40,600 Consecutively. 10 00:00:41,230 --> 00:00:43,070 I'm going to read through them consecutively. 11 00:00:43,090 --> 00:00:48,190 I might take a little bit of pause to catch my breath, but I'm going to read through them consecutively. 12 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:57,610 And what you should do is you can listen to me pronounce all the words, and then afterwards you can 13 00:00:57,610 --> 00:01:05,740 go through you can go through the the lecture yourself and try pronouncing the words the way that I 14 00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:09,760 pronounce them, or just do the best you can with your own pronunciation. 15 00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:14,470 So let's go ahead and get started. 16 00:01:14,470 --> 00:01:21,340 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. 17 00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:26,320 So here again, I'm just going to read it directly all the way through. 18 00:01:27,010 --> 00:01:34,750 And then your job is to stop it along the way and try to say it for yourself or to let me finish. 19 00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:40,180 And then you kind of speak it all for yourself also and work on your pronunciation. 20 00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:45,990 Okay. 21 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,080 Let's go. 22 00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:55,500 So this one is going to be a read through of the first mobile phone question. 23 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,970 And if you need to, you can stop and look at the notes there for a second. 24 00:02:00,450 --> 00:02:07,140 And and then I'm going to go ahead and go to the next screen and read directly straight through. 25 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,280 Describe your first mobile phone. 26 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,300 Although I've possessed countless wireless phones over the years due to damage or new model releases 27 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:28,050 and all, I'll always remember my Nokia 550, the first digital device I ever called my own. 28 00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:34,470 I can distinctly remember that I was a high school freshman when I came into possession of, at this 29 00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:38,970 time, one of the most technologically advanced field enabled phones. 30 00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:41,890 The typical Bahamian secondary student. 31 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:46,830 Began school at 13 or 14 years of age, depending on their birth month. 32 00:02:47,010 --> 00:02:49,410 Being that my birth month is February. 33 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,340 I was definitely 14 when I was awarded my Nokia 550. 34 00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,810 I can further confirm this confirmed this age because my sister received her first phone at 15 and I 35 00:03:00,810 --> 00:03:02,310 am one year younger than her. 36 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,590 As previously stated, I had just started high school when I received this phone and if my memory serves 37 00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:16,050 me, it must have been summer 2000 when I first held this Nokia 550 in my hands. 38 00:03:16,380 --> 00:03:22,110 Having only been 14 years of age at this time, I didn't actually purchase the phone myself. 39 00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:29,220 Instead, my father had decided to snap up this cellular cellular in a flash sale and present it as 40 00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:30,360 a birthday gift. 41 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:37,200 He had informed me the previous year that if I perform well in school, which I did, that he'd furnished 42 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,850 me with my first mobile. 43 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:46,440 As I just said, my receipt of this mobile phone occurred on my birthday during the hottest time of 44 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,160 the year. 45 00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:53,370 I can't put into words the overwhelming excitement that filled my heart after I slowly removed the gift 46 00:03:53,370 --> 00:03:58,590 wrapping and saw the words Nokia 550 printed on the outside of the box. 47 00:03:58,830 --> 00:04:04,710 I held the box above my head like I had just won an Olympic medal, and for what I've been told, I 48 00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:07,230 was actually jumping around like a kangaroo. 49 00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:14,460 Immediately after I calm down, calm down somewhat, I dashed out the door and showed the neighbours 50 00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:15,390 the new sale. 51 00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:21,000 I can't recall word for word what I said on my first call, but it was something like Guess where I'm 52 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,050 calling you from? 53 00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:26,040 Okay. 54 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:30,400 And now we will move into part number three for the mobile phones. 55 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,430 Do young and old people use? 56 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,830 Do young and old people use money the same way? 57 00:04:41,890 --> 00:04:43,390 Wrong question. 58 00:04:46,030 --> 00:04:50,680 There should be the young and old people use phones the same way, use phones the same way. 59 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,950 Everybody, young adults and their elders, distinctly use high, high tech cell phones in regards to 60 00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:57,850 purpose. 61 00:04:58,030 --> 00:05:04,900 Youngsters tend to heavily rely on the latest social media such as Snapchat, Tik Tok or Instagram, 62 00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:11,140 whereas those who are 40 and up focused mainly on SMS or older social media like Facebook. 63 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,090 Generation X and Y. 64 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,640 Purchase a new phone just for the camera. 65 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,190 So they are definitely more into the picture capabilities than the baby boomer generation. 66 00:05:22,660 --> 00:05:25,960 What are the differences between writing letters and text? 67 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:33,640 Well, the contrast between those two concepts come into play when first considering the length of what 68 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,390 is written. 69 00:05:34,630 --> 00:05:43,060 You would never write a 1000 word text, whereas personal letters can easily reach that word count in 70 00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:44,170 addition to the length. 71 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,690 We can also see the differences in regards to personalisation. 72 00:05:47,710 --> 00:05:55,240 What I mean by that is letters have your distinct handwriting, which makes each unique while a text 73 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,420 message is devoid of that identifying marker. 74 00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:04,560 Some feel mobile phones are annoying. 75 00:06:04,590 --> 00:06:07,650 Can you give examples of how this might be the case? 76 00:06:08,430 --> 00:06:12,330 I can definitely speak on this topic and I'll start with the rule. 77 00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:18,300 People who have no idea that they are shouting unnecessarily into the phone and thereby disturbing the 78 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:19,320 peace of others. 79 00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:25,500 I can remember this one time in the bank and this woman was literally speaking as if she were yelling 80 00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,060 across the street to her friend. 81 00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:33,840 Another irritating habit that comes to mind is when a person keeps looking at their phone during a personal 82 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:34,920 conversation. 83 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,400 I find this to be quite offensive and off putting. 84 00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:44,520 I'll mention one more maddening ritual that I've seen, which is scrolling through social media during 85 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,660 a company meeting. 86 00:06:49,030 --> 00:06:49,480 All right. 87 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,010 Thank you very much for joining us.
