today my class doing listening activities prepare for test 19/3/2011....
4 basic aspect to be an effective listening
- attitude
- attention
- comprehension
- evaluation
to improve effective for listening we must
- Identify the purpose of listening. Try to distinguish between useful information and that which is not.
- Not look at the surface meaning of what is being said. Rather, you should look for feelings or the real intention of the speaker. This can be done through familiarising yourself with real spoken language such as the use of in complete sentences, slang, repetitions and others.
- Try to guess the meanings of words which are not familiar to you by focusing on the context in which they appear.
- Understand that in real life, most of what you listen to is not repeated. In such cases, you are advised to just get the gist of the information and grasp the main ideas presented.
- Listen for details or specific information when you listen for the second time to any repeated information such as announcements.
- Refrain from immediately responding or answering question. Listen to everything that is being said without unnecessary interruptions.
for additional information we have 2 skill of listening which is
1.Listening for specific information
this requires us to listen for specific details related to certain incidents, situations or activities.
2.listening for main idea
-find out the general idea or the gist of a listening material
NIGHT CLASS
For today miss Zuraidah was given a task about opinion and fact...how to different between opinion and fact
A FACT
= objective information that can be checked or proved to be true
= information that does not change
= not a statement about the future
Clues to identify fact ::
*the use of dates and year
eg >> Walt Disney was born on 5th December 1901, and died on 15th December 1966.
*the use of statistics/ figures/ precise numbers or quantities
eg >> Since Edmund Allary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Mount Everest in 1953 more than 1000 climbers from 20 countries have also conquered the 8848 metre mountain.
*the use of definition
eg >> Adolescence can be defined as the stage in a person's life when one develops from a child into an adult.
*when stating a geographical or scientific fact
eg >> The earth is round.
An Opinion
= is a statement that cannot be proved to be true or false.
= is one's personal belief , idea or feeling about a subject.
= can be a statement about the future.
Clue to identify opinions
*the use of adjectives which show your point of view or emotions ( exciting, fun, excellent, worst, ugly, pretty )
eg >> The climb up Gunung Ledang was exciting.
*the use of comparison words which show a comparison between two or more things (more, most, better, best, worst, least )
eg >> Siti Nurhaliza is the most talented singer in Malaysia.
*the use of other words which show frequency, possibility, advisability and necessity ( probably, likely, perhaps, may, should, must, always )
eg >> Sheela is probably still angry with her boyfriend for not remembering her birthday.
* the use of phrases which show a belief, a suggestion, a feeling or an opinion (it appears that, in my opinion, I believe, I suggest, I feel, I think )
eg >> It appears that, Jasmin and Ayu are both interested in the same.
