The show of 31 August YouTube.
Hi, I'm Sarah. Welcome to the Daily English Show.
Today I will talk about scripts. Sometimes leave People comments like: "What did you say at the point 1:32?" And I think to myself: "Hmm, they do not know that there's a script."
If you go to thedailyenglishshow dot blogspot dot com , you will find the scripts to the shows.
This is one of the basic ideas of the Daily English Show - first, that I speak, of course - I put down my level to a certain extent, but not much, it is quite natural - and, second, there is a script to each show.
What you can do so is perhaps the first show to see and then in the script to search for words that you did not understand, or you want to look for a different reason. Or you can
cut into the script and copy them to a translator, if you think that helps, or you can use one of these programs where you move your mouse over a word and then find out the meaning of the screen shows up - as rikai.com .
The scripts can be freely used at home or in the classroom. If you are a teacher, then you can print them and distribute them to your students. No problem.
Many language podcast earn their money that they ask the people money for the scripts - but the Daily English Show scripts are free. And they will remain so, because I believe that it is an important part of the philosophy Daily English Show are.
This is a non-commercial show, their goal is not to make money. So we have no money, what a surprise! But we would like to find a way to earn some money to cover expenses, to buy some equipment, things like that. But we will not do for the sale of the scripts, that's for sure. Or the fact that we are sponsored by some company like McDonald's are disgusting. Anyway, that's another story.
Today I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows about the scripts for each video decision. And if you look at the show on YouTube, then there is a link to the script to each video. The script is so just a click away.
And if that is a YouTube video, which you you just look at it but on another page is (as YouTube) and you want to find the script slightly, then you need only click on the video and then pass to the original video on YouTube and there find the link to the script next to it.
There is not only scripts the show - there are also translations of the Japanese and German.
Thomas - one of ( c'est moi ^ ^ !) - Deserves a lot of respect ( haha, how I should otherwise translated, editor over .), He translates the scripts into German ... and I also pointed to errors in the original script, which is great. In each script, there are a few bugs, so it's good to have someone who indicates one.
Today's joke was to send me a few days ago by someone named Robert on MySpace. And I thought today would be the best day for this joke - people talk a lot about stupid Americans lately. So I thought it was time to start talking about stupid Australians.
Robert writes: As an Australian I
've always liked this one. I thought that you know it would like to include in your collection.
question: What distinguishes kangaroos from Australia?
answer: The intelligent look into the eyes of the kangaroos.
STICK NEWS
Kia Ora in Stick News today: A thief in New Zealand came on the same day back to the house he had robbed, because he felt guilty of burglary.
On Tuesday, someone broke into a house near Queenstown in New Zealand.
He / she smashed a window to zoom in and stole a laptop to seeing a camera and a wallet with credit card.
The burglar then went shopping and bought a basketball and two pairs of gloves with the stolen credit card.
but then felt guilty at some point the thief. He or she went back to the house to bring back the stolen goods. He / she also left behind a one-page apology.
The owner of the house said he was more perplexed than angry.
The police will search for the perpetrators. She said that the change of the thief held for the best.
And that was Stick News on Friday, 31 August. Kia Ora

# 300 What does "grade your language?
Step 1: Repeat Brad's text.
Step 2: Read Brad's text and talk to Sarah.
Brad What does "grade your language?
Sarah It means to simplify his language, so that it is easier to understand.
Brad Is that easy?
Sarah It is, it is easy for me now because I am already a while teaching English, but for some people - especially for some who have never taught English - they have no idea how the should do.
Brad How do you know?
Sarah Well, one thing one can do is, phrases and multi-unit verbs avoided. So, for example, instead I'm going to hit the sack (I'll just work then) to say could say I'm going to go to bed (I'm going to bed) . Or you could (visit) visit instead drop in on (coming in snow) say.
Brad And to avoid difficult words?
Sarah Yes. If there is a light word that means exactly the same, you should use this. For example, one should say instead strenuous (strenuous) rather hard (difficult) .
Brad Do you do this forever?
Sarah No, not always. Well, I try to assess skill level of students - and then to use the language that the level is appropriate. I also think it is good to use some words and phrases that they probably do not know, so they can learn something new. But you should just not use too many or they will be discouraged.
found error? Leave a comment! :)
