but yeah 16 00:02:07,650 --> 00:02:12,310 that's what i guess that's what i thought i don't know why well it's actually much better when we 17 00:02:12,310 --> 00:02:22,569 have the uh we have two more people there blast and uh and maita are coming through okay i'll 18 00:02:22,569 --> 00:02:32,090 think it's uh yeah um so for example Beatriz uh I think she uh she set her image on 19 00:02:32,090 --> 00:02:42,650 uh hold on one more person waiting okay hello Blas welcome in you look so professional 20 00:02:42,650 --> 00:02:48,870 can you actually we can't hear you you need to unmute your microphone 21 00:02:48,870 --> 00:02:59,590 if there you go yeah you're welcome it's okay no no perfect it's perfect it's like 22 00:02:59,590 --> 00:03:05,310 well we are we are learning how to do this so it's okay we have some problems to begin with 23 00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:12,009 okay so guys uh you will notice that when you get into the interface uh you have a control 24 00:03:12,009 --> 00:03:17,409 bar at the in the lower part of the window at the bottom of the window and there's where you 25 00:03:17,409 --> 00:03:24,289 can mute and unmute your microphone or where you can uh share your your i mean activate or 26 00:03:24,289 --> 00:03:30,169 deactivate your uh your webcam and so on okay typically the last person who has spoken is the 27 00:03:30,169 --> 00:03:37,409 one who will become who will take the bigger screen in the in the interface uh and this this 28 00:03:37,409 --> 00:03:44,710 is the program that makes it uh automatically okay uh and yeah there is also a chat here on 29 00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:52,069 right hand side that you can that you can open up all right uh like in the in the dashboard there 30 00:03:52,069 --> 00:03:58,349 there is an option chat that you can also use and um and i think that's about it okay we have two 31 00:03:58,349 --> 00:04:07,189 more people waiting to join let me let me allow them in i can see my mouse here we are okay so 32 00:04:07,189 --> 00:04:13,090 terrific because last day was only like six of us okay but now we are getting better okay 33 00:04:13,090 --> 00:04:20,230 all right uh some of you for some of you hello ricardo ricardo was with us last day as well 34 00:04:20,230 --> 00:04:28,589 uh diana can we listen to you today or not i hope so oh yes we can yes we can terrific that 35 00:04:28,589 --> 00:04:36,050 was yeah to fix some gadgets i don't know sorry for last week no it's okay i mean it's it was a 36 00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:41,990 best effort basis in the sense that we were trying you know uh best thing we could okay 37 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:46,509 so I think we are pretty much ready I'm very happy to see so many of you 38 00:04:46,509 --> 00:04:54,610 connected at this time so this is terrific now yeah just keep in mind that 39 00:04:54,610 --> 00:05:00,529 that if you if you want to mute or unmute your microphone at different 40 00:05:00,529 --> 00:05:06,149 times you can you can use the the bar at the bottom of the window okay if there 41 00:05:06,149 --> 00:05:10,550 is noise where you are at and so on it's better to keep it on mute and then just 42 00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:15,230 to unmute it temporarily when you talk, okay? 43 00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:18,689 And also something that you can do 44 00:05:18,689 --> 00:05:20,750 when you have your microphone on mute, 45 00:05:21,370 --> 00:05:23,509 if you just want to talk, 46 00:05:23,889 --> 00:05:27,670 you can press the space bar, okay, on the keyboard 47 00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:30,730 and you don't need to unmute your microphone, okay? 48 00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:33,610 If you just keep the space bar pressed 49 00:05:33,610 --> 00:05:34,870 for as long as you talk, 50 00:05:35,149 --> 00:05:39,129 it will get through without having to mute and unmute, okay? 51 00:05:39,129 --> 00:05:44,149 so that's kind of uh it can be quite comfortable i figured would you like to try amelia could you 52 00:05:44,149 --> 00:05:49,389 try this i just said of using the dashboard the the spacebar to see if it works about your 53 00:05:49,389 --> 00:05:58,240 microphone now it's not working we cannot listen to you not working for me not working for you okay 54 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:06,040 well i have to manually um mute and unmute right okay well we'll keep trying okay maybe depends 55 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:13,139 hello it works for me it works for me i'm trying i think that it may also depend on which uh 56 00:06:13,139 --> 00:06:19,160 equipment you are using if you are using a mac or windows or linux or whatever it is or a cell 57 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,959 phone maybe it works slightly different okay but uh we'll just get used to this over time i guess 58 00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:34,360 because guys let's be honest this is not going to be solved in one week or two okay yeah i can 59 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:40,639 see faces i can see your name going like no no this is not right not so quickly okay 60 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:45,500 what's your impression about this generally speaking what do you think it will be just 61 00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:48,819 a couple of weeks or maybe it will be like this at the end of the year 62 00:06:48,819 --> 00:06:57,089 what do you think guys anyone your name what do you think 63 00:06:57,089 --> 00:07:06,370 i have no idea i think probably more than a month really yeah let's see 64 00:07:06,689 --> 00:07:23,029 Well, last reports that I heard, I don't know what you heard or you read, but last reports I heard were saying that the peak of the curve, the peak of the curve, that we could reach that by mid-April. 65 00:07:24,490 --> 00:07:31,610 That's supposedly when we're going to have the maximum amount of contagious cases and so on. 66 00:07:32,470 --> 00:07:35,290 So, well, who knows, right? 67 00:07:35,290 --> 00:07:43,850 okay guys so uh now this works uh i i take it that you can that you can all open the um 68 00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:51,029 the blackboard on a different window maybe okay actually i see that many of you already opened 69 00:07:51,029 --> 00:07:56,709 that one up okay still i can share it to you and that's what i'm gonna do in a second 70 00:07:56,709 --> 00:08:05,230 okay so uh yes you already joined most of you are using your names to help me out which is 71 00:08:05,230 --> 00:08:10,370 good. Well, I know that Beatriz is Javier for some reason. That must be your husband's 72 00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:20,160 computer or your son's computer, Beatriz. And now Beatriz is out. Well, we have to get 73 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:30,889 used to this. Okay. Okay. Well, in any case, guys, let's have a quick round, okay, about 74 00:08:30,889 --> 00:08:34,809 the corona experience. I don't know how you are taking this. It's already been a few days 75 00:08:34,809 --> 00:08:41,590 since uh confinement and i just want to know how you are doing uh with how you are getting on with 76 00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:49,070 life is it are you being able to carry on work remotely are you like with nothing to do left 77 00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:53,809 with nothing to do what's the situation being like for you let's have a quick round diana what 78 00:08:53,809 --> 00:09:01,950 can you tell us how is this how is this going on for you um well um i'm working quite normal 79 00:09:01,950 --> 00:09:07,870 pretty busy i must say actually this week uh so i'm very used to working from home 80 00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:17,950 uh biggest thing is um traveling of course as you as we can all imagine and we're all seen 81 00:09:17,950 --> 00:09:23,149 but you travel a lot diana so this must have an impact on your on your work because you are 82 00:09:23,149 --> 00:09:30,750 frequently going far far away actually this is a very hectic week because i was supposed to be 83 00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:39,070 out in what is for us the biggest and most important trade fair in the business 84 00:09:39,070 --> 00:09:45,990 it was supposed to be running over this week so we are all a little bit like very busy with 85 00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:52,049 all the cancellations trying to keep all the meetings online and so very very troublesome 86 00:09:52,049 --> 00:09:59,230 for the business but so far this week um i've been very busy because of this mess 87 00:09:59,230 --> 00:10:07,490 so i think we will be seeing and facing all the effects in the business in a while not yet but 88 00:10:07,490 --> 00:10:14,769 it's going to be huge for our business because only on trade and restaurants and stores are 89 00:10:14,769 --> 00:10:18,490 are closed at the moment so yeah we're forcing a lot of um 90 00:10:19,409 --> 00:10:26,409 and about your confinement are you on your own are you already hating your family how is that 91 00:10:26,409 --> 00:10:41,039 working for you guys how's it working for you um me yeah for example yeah for me it's uh it's okay 92 00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:48,919 i'm based in madrid but i i think you all know i come from north from rioja so in my everyday life 93 00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:55,799 as i said i'm we are working a lot from home and me personally so in that sense it's okay 94 00:10:55,799 --> 00:11:00,580 but when it comes to family it's it's it's getting difficult because they are away and 95 00:11:00,580 --> 00:11:09,419 you're really worrying and about them and i don't know parents are are turning to be a little bit 96 00:11:09,419 --> 00:11:16,460 more difficult with the confinement so that's my own experience i'm trying to keep them indoors 97 00:11:16,460 --> 00:11:21,580 i was asking because you must have seen these days on your whatsapp groups and so on you must 98 00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:28,559 have seen uh tons of people i mean tons of uh of uh videos of uh you know people going crazy 99 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:35,120 already within you know within two the two days of confinement and stuff like that so uh personally 100 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:43,279 for me it's not been that tough at least uh for the time being you know but uh i presume that that 101 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:49,179 must be different for different people i guess so far for me it's not too bad so i was just curious 102 00:11:49,179 --> 00:11:55,320 what about you blast uh how is it coming through for you are you being able to work are you yes 103 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,440 harder than before, I mean 104 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,340 I have like a different 105 00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:01,460 front to cover 106 00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:03,240 and yeah, I have to 107 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,360 we have been preparing, it's been 108 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,100 like a miracle 109 00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:06,960 a miracle 110 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,059 a miracle 111 00:12:09,059 --> 00:12:13,240 one week ago we were 112 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,100 telling the students to leave the university 113 00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:15,980 and all the stuff 114 00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:19,080 and nowadays we are running 115 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,940 regular classes and we are 116 00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:23,019 preparing everything, we have been 117 00:12:23,019 --> 00:12:24,539 really working hard this week 118 00:12:24,539 --> 00:12:29,759 but for me it's really really weird that we have been able to do it in such a short time 119 00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:37,360 we are using tools that we had we had we could use in the past but we didn't do it and now is 120 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,620 our common life using this kind of tools like the one we are using now these things and it seems 121 00:12:42,620 --> 00:12:49,419 like i'm going to be able to develop a building i'm building now in another city because it seems 122 00:12:49,419 --> 00:12:55,600 they are not going to stop so somehow i'm really busy okay but it's really crazy i'm working harder 123 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:01,639 than before because everything is new i have to prepare everything again and yeah it's hard 124 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:07,159 so you said that you uh you started using tools that you had never considered before right which 125 00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:14,960 is uh i think just because uh when we had regular classes it's faster to work uh face to face with 126 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,960 the students or with other teachers or other colleagues and now I have to be writing all day 127 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:28,799 I started at eight in the morning I had lunch at three half past three being at home and it was 128 00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:33,299 ridiculous because you know I can't stop anytime but I couldn't do it this morning so I think it's 129 00:13:33,299 --> 00:13:39,299 going to be to become better in a few days but now it's really a huge work this may be an interesting 130 00:13:39,299 --> 00:13:43,659 how would say this 131 00:13:43,659 --> 00:13:44,440 an interesting 132 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,419 outcome of the situation 133 00:13:47,419 --> 00:13:49,720 maybe some people become even more productive 134 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,639 now that we are working this way 135 00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:52,440 you know 136 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,539 some people have to stop working and some people become 137 00:13:55,539 --> 00:13:57,179 more productive we'll figure out 138 00:13:57,179 --> 00:13:59,919 so Jornay what about you 139 00:13:59,919 --> 00:14:02,080 how are you coping with this situation 140 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,059 well I didn't work 141 00:14:05,059 --> 00:14:07,120 already from 142 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:19,250 Since the 10th of March, I play in front of 2,400 people. 143 00:14:19,250 --> 00:14:27,470 So meetings for more than 100, 1,000 were already forbidden. 144 00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:36,049 So all my activities have been shut down, stopped. 145 00:14:36,049 --> 00:14:37,210 And yeah, I'm at home. 146 00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:42,210 I just practice them by myself and that's it, waiting. 147 00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:47,370 So there's really no way in which you can substitute 148 00:14:47,370 --> 00:14:51,789 or you can compensate for your face-to-face activity, right? 149 00:14:51,789 --> 00:14:52,649 Not really. 150 00:14:52,649 --> 00:14:57,649 Well, they ask us to make a video for Instagram and Twitter 151 00:14:57,769 --> 00:15:02,769 from the orchestra so the audience can follow us. 152 00:15:02,769 --> 00:15:11,570 of us or like they they they are they can be able to to see what we are doing what we are doing 153 00:15:11,570 --> 00:15:17,789 somehow your job is turning into a reality show instead of playing for them you are like allowing 154 00:15:17,789 --> 00:15:23,889 people into your daily practice or whatever it is just to keep them engaged probably yeah that's it 155 00:15:23,889 --> 00:15:33,419 yeah that's interesting that's interesting yeah ricardo come on what about you uh i continues 156 00:15:33,419 --> 00:15:42,860 working every day in the morning and in the afternoon we are preparing a group of volunteers 157 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:49,100 psychologists volunteers to support people who live alone or who are vulnerable and need 158 00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:56,139 psychological support psychological support i've heard something about this on the on the media 159 00:15:56,139 --> 00:16:02,940 these days but uh i really i really don't know how you can uh come up with uh you know with uh 160 00:16:03,419 --> 00:16:08,460 something so big like getting reaching out because what i heard is that they were trying 161 00:16:08,460 --> 00:16:14,340 to reach out to the elderly and people who was in greater need because they were alone or whatever 162 00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:20,139 and try to call them on the phone and you know keep them i don't know is is it something like 163 00:16:20,139 --> 00:16:26,779 that that you are working on yes we are working calling them by phone because most of them they 164 00:16:26,779 --> 00:16:35,659 are not they have not intranet or they are not computers so they can't connect to do a video 165 00:16:35,659 --> 00:16:43,100 conference but we are doing the support the emotional support by telephone by normal telephone 166 00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:49,100 and also we are organizing the psychological support for 167 00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:54,100 for doctors and the rest of clinicians 168 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,279 that are working very hard these days. 169 00:16:58,279 --> 00:17:01,799 And they also need some kind of support, yeah. 170 00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:04,779 Okay, okay, that makes sense. 171 00:17:05,819 --> 00:17:08,559 However, all these elderly people that, 172 00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,539 because I figured if you can call the elderly people 173 00:17:11,539 --> 00:17:13,599 or people who need support is because you have them 174 00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:19,059 in a database already, because you knew them already, 175 00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:27,539 Or have you enabled a way in which these elderly people can get in contact and then start to get calls? 176 00:17:29,140 --> 00:17:35,940 Yes, we have a database with the name of the person and the phone number. 177 00:17:36,619 --> 00:17:39,180 So this is the way that we contact with them. 178 00:17:39,180 --> 00:17:48,119 yeah but they also can call us and uh phone number and we can answer and it depends on the 179 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:54,779 the needs of the of these people yeah okay okay interesting so maite what about you 180 00:17:54,779 --> 00:18:00,200 obviously you can keep on working and keep your your meetings and so on because you were already 181 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:08,940 using zoom for that yeah so as you may know i am part of the it department from a retail 182 00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:17,660 company so we are suffering so far so much these weeks right because not only spain is confined 183 00:18:17,660 --> 00:18:23,660 but also all the company has decided to close the the offices around all the world 184 00:18:24,380 --> 00:18:30,380 around the world so yeah we need to allow all the communications for everyone in the company it's a 185 00:18:30,380 --> 00:18:35,500 little bit like uh what uh apple did right they locked down yeah their offices all around the 186 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:47,420 world except china yeah we have already china looked i'm not sure why but uh yeah we have 187 00:18:47,420 --> 00:18:55,099 already we have still close uh china so yeah it's a bit challenging for us because we need to work 188 00:18:55,740 --> 00:19:03,339 with uh too much pressure at that moment because uh so everyone is asking why this is not working 189 00:19:03,339 --> 00:19:11,099 but uh yeah it's okay so we are pretty confident that we are gonna be solving the issues 190 00:19:11,099 --> 00:19:19,920 in some days so yeah so far so good well we'll have to get used to that and uh we had uh 191 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:27,839 Beatriz over here oh there she is here you're back so uh Beatriz uh how's your family are you 192 00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:35,960 already tired of uh was it daniel or david david oh we can hear you you need to enable your 193 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:47,730 your phone your your mic yeah sorry i i had to change my computer and i had a lot of problems i 194 00:19:47,730 --> 00:19:55,210 cannot uh use the the headphones it's okay we can hear you and see you now perfectly so it's not a 195 00:19:55,210 --> 00:20:01,230 problem okay so yeah how's family life because you have your children at home with you and it 196 00:20:01,230 --> 00:20:07,609 was two of them right you were saying or three of them three of them okay so yeah how is having 197 00:20:07,609 --> 00:20:16,869 them around all day it's not easy i am teleworking telecooking telecleaning 198 00:20:16,869 --> 00:20:24,150 tele teaching is very difficult and also there is a lot of problems with the wi-fi at home 199 00:20:24,150 --> 00:20:34,069 and the devices and the so it's it's getting a little bit uh nervous okay so they are they are 200 00:20:34,069 --> 00:20:39,789 getting a little bit nervous okay well don't worry just at least two more weeks to go okay 201 00:20:39,789 --> 00:20:47,309 well they were saying i uh i i heard some uh psychologists and uh and i think it was mainly 202 00:20:47,309 --> 00:20:51,910 psychologists saying that this is also a learning opportunity and a growing opportunity for kids 203 00:20:51,910 --> 00:20:57,589 because they they somehow will have more time and more opportunities to regain their creativity 204 00:20:58,150 --> 00:21:02,789 provided that we lead them in the correct way which i don't know if we'll be able to do or not 205 00:21:02,789 --> 00:21:15,900 but so any more experiences with this hello helen there she is hey i think helen can listen but uh 206 00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:23,740 can't uh talk yeah helen doesn't have a mic okay or is it still not connected well still you can 207 00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:31,099 follow so all right guys so uh susanna silent susanna are you there can you listen to us or not 208 00:21:33,109 --> 00:21:37,750 because sometimes i see your names on the screen but uh for some of you are not sure if you are 209 00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:44,309 really connected or not okay and uh anna could you figure out your problems with the microphone 210 00:21:44,309 --> 00:21:48,109 I think it's not with the mic, it's the camera, which is not working. 211 00:21:48,309 --> 00:21:51,150 I think it's due to the Windows 10. 212 00:21:51,490 --> 00:21:56,230 And apparently I haven't had a camera since I uploaded it to Windows 10. 213 00:21:56,670 --> 00:21:59,269 But I'll try to figure out later on. 214 00:21:59,269 --> 00:22:01,349 That happened to me as well. 215 00:22:01,569 --> 00:22:11,150 When I upgraded my OS, my camera stopped working 216 00:22:11,150 --> 00:22:14,210 and I had to upgrade the drivers as well 217 00:22:14,210 --> 00:22:14,970 or something like that. 218 00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:16,450 Another thing you may try 219 00:22:16,450 --> 00:22:20,430 is just use an external webcam, 220 00:22:20,809 --> 00:22:22,549 one that you plug in on a USB. 221 00:22:23,049 --> 00:22:24,089 If you have one at hand, 222 00:22:24,150 --> 00:22:25,430 that would probably work as well. 223 00:22:25,769 --> 00:22:28,329 Well, it's going to be hard for me to find one now. 224 00:22:29,009 --> 00:22:29,750 Probably, yeah. 225 00:22:29,869 --> 00:22:31,549 Well, it's Amazon these days, guys. 226 00:22:32,750 --> 00:22:34,109 That's where it's working, yeah. 227 00:22:34,430 --> 00:22:34,650 Yeah. 228 00:22:34,990 --> 00:22:37,869 Well, Amazon or any other e-commerce place, right? 229 00:22:37,869 --> 00:22:38,609 Yeah, that's right. 230 00:22:38,609 --> 00:22:42,690 Have you visited supermarkets already since the lockdown or not? 231 00:22:43,349 --> 00:22:44,289 Actually, no. 232 00:22:44,609 --> 00:22:48,250 The last time I went to the supermarket was on Friday evening. 233 00:22:49,049 --> 00:22:52,869 And that was just before I got locked at home. 234 00:22:53,509 -->

--> 00:39:41,300 Exactly, yeah. 374 00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:47,679 people get sometimes i mean i i think this is a great initiative okay i support it thoroughly 375 00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:54,440 but sometimes i think it's too much it's gonna be too much when you i mean it's only been three 376 00:39:54,440 --> 00:40:01,559 days now four days the most but so it's gonna be a bit hard to to keep doing this every single day 377 00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:07,340 especially if if this goes for longer than than we think well but the thing is that now we have 378 00:40:07,340 --> 00:40:13,300 started it we cannot stop it because yeah that's the point that would be defeatist right they say 379 00:40:13,300 --> 00:40:19,420 okay we give up you know still i see some neighbors that used to be out there and they 380 00:40:19,420 --> 00:40:26,019 were not today so and yesterday either so there there's gonna be someone who who's missing someday 381 00:40:26,019 --> 00:40:32,179 i guess the important thing is that we keep it like we keep it going uh socially globally right 382 00:40:32,179 --> 00:40:37,579 like if one day you don't pay attention to the time and you are like taking a shower or sleeping 383 00:40:37,579 --> 00:40:45,280 or whatever but you know if we are around yeah so uh this is actually something mentioned in the 384 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:50,260 listening exercise okay is this something that we share in common with italians or something that we 385 00:40:50,260 --> 00:41:00,440 do differently or how is that so anyone i think it's some similarity we have with them or or what 386 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:06,820 they do that we do as well so it's at the same time it's 8 p.m in both countries yeah exactly 387 00:41:06,820 --> 00:41:12,239 but it's slightly different yeah it's slightly different right diana so how is it different 388 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:21,199 i think italians they they have at 8 p.m bells rings or for a while in their churches whether 389 00:41:21,199 --> 00:41:28,360 here as we saw we clap that's it okay so what they are telling us is that at 8 p.m it's the 390 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:34,659 bells of the churches that they ring okay that they told but uh and then they also go into the 391 00:41:34,659 --> 00:41:39,000 balconies and so on but they do different they do different things right not just clapping or 392 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:45,320 not only clapping but what else what else mayana what else they do when they go on to the balconies 393 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:55,079 they play music they do flash mobs they say yeah that's it that's another thing they do they do 394 00:41:55,079 --> 00:42:03,159 flash mobs plays all kind of music and you were saying singings and also uh there is something 395 00:42:03,159 --> 00:42:07,159 else that they don't do on the balconies but that they have on their balconies many of them 396 00:42:07,159 --> 00:42:15,519 what is it banners banners yeah you remember what would they say or maybe you know from the news 397 00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:21,500 because we've seen it in italian i guess these days on the spanish news as well they say everything 398 00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:29,940 will be okay or something like that i don't know so i don't really know if it's andara or whatever 399 00:42:29,940 --> 00:42:39,039 but something like no no andra okay perfect thank you so that's uh one of the differences 400 00:42:39,039 --> 00:42:43,420 and now uh there isn't there are more differences so there is something interesting that they say 401 00:42:43,420 --> 00:42:50,559 particularly about rome right and how the how the uh streets uh have changed the kind of people 402 00:42:50,559 --> 00:42:58,900 that you see on the streets did you get that emilia go ahead did you get that how how have 403 00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:08,500 these streets changed yeah it's um uh before the crisis there were more uh priests to be seen on 404 00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:14,639 the streets and no police and right now the situation has reversed and you see no police 405 00:43:14,639 --> 00:43:20,000 oh no you see a lot of police and no priests that's it did you notice the structure that 406 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:27,119 to use there are more police to be seen that's a very nice structure okay it's a passive infinitive 407 00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:32,500 so there are more police it's a very nice structure which we actually saw in last class 408 00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:40,260 last day we talked about this very briefly okay um yeah and then guys about the stereotypes 409 00:43:40,260 --> 00:43:44,880 the second the second question was about the stereotypes what what do they mention about this 410 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:51,679 in the video they said that the italians don't respect rules and what that's quite similar like 411 00:43:51,679 --> 00:44:00,780 us similar to us right yeah they said that they have a high sense of community and also a high 412 00:44:00,780 --> 00:44:08,440 level of solidarity okay so yeah so and it's an italian girl right saying that that that they 413 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:13,719 don't respect respect rules is not a stereotype but that's the truth is with you think that it's 414 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:18,760 same as us or or you think that we are generally doing well with this what's your impression 415 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:24,280 because i know there's been some some things on the news and so on but i think we're doing 416 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:29,320 generally fine i think we are respecting as far as i could see what's your impression what have 417 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:37,590 you been seeing these days well i think that generally uh people here in spain are respecting 418 00:44:37,590 --> 00:44:47,429 the rules because i am every day i travel by public transportation and there is there are 419 00:44:47,429 --> 00:44:55,909 no much people traveling there's many people right yes and also by the streets for example yesterday 420 00:44:55,909 --> 00:45:02,469 at 9 00 pm in atocha was completely empty and also the subway it was completely empty 421 00:45:02,469 --> 00:45:10,110 I guess so. Of course, we all heard about the possibility of renting dogs that you could 422 00:45:10,110 --> 00:45:16,030 walk out and stuff like that, which is like, it's like kind of cheating. It's good fun 423 00:45:16,030 --> 00:45:21,570 though, right? I am impressed how sometimes we come up with so many funny things about 424 00:45:21,570 --> 00:45:26,570 this. Two things about the vocabulary, guys. There was a number of interesting expressions 425 00:45:26,570 --> 00:45:36,110 over here let's see if i can show you uh if i can show you a couple of them i need to share 426 00:45:36,110 --> 00:45:49,449 this screen again which is which one so guys uh just two expressions over here uh or actually 427 00:45:50,250 --> 00:45:58,809 not even expressions but two words this can anyone oops now you can't see uh you know what 428 00:45:58,809 --> 00:46:07,449 cobblestones are can anyone explain let's read the context along with birds it seems the only ones 429 00:46:08,090 --> 00:46:14,489 out on these streets are cats and ghosts walking on these centuries-old cobblestones it's a nice 430 00:46:14,489 --> 00:46:18,570 sentence walking on these centuries-old cobblestones you realize they are they've 431 00:46:18,570 --> 00:46:26,650 seen these before now think of the city center what kind of the pieces of a stone we used to 432 00:46:26,650 --> 00:46:36,329 cover the streets that's it that's it okay that's it cobblestones which is something like in spanish 433 00:46:36,329 --> 00:46:42,329 is similar to adoquines or piedra right that kind of thing okay so terrific and yeah notice the 434 00:46:42,329 --> 00:46:49,130 adjective okay centuries old cobblestones okay we have a compound adjective over here okay 435 00:46:49,130 --> 00:47:00,050 good and uh there is a collocation here which i also liked which is this this sentence in 436 00:47:00,050 --> 00:47:06,889 in normal times visitors to rome are struck you understand struck over here they are impressed 437 00:47:06,889 --> 00:47:13,510 right they are hit they are struck by the near absence how would you translate that 438 00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:15,650 the near absence of 439 00:47:15,650 --> 00:47:20,130 whatever it is 440 00:47:20,130 --> 00:47:21,349 that you cannot see 441 00:47:21,349 --> 00:47:23,349 total ausencia 442 00:47:23,349 --> 00:47:25,349 something like that 443 00:47:25,349 --> 00:47:27,369 it's like the near absence 444 00:47:27,369 --> 00:47:28,710 la practica totalidad 445 00:47:28,710 --> 00:47:31,170 it's like almost absolute 446 00:47:31,170 --> 00:47:35,030 it's a nice collocation 447 00:47:35,030 --> 00:47:36,789 it's a nice collocation 448 00:47:36,789 --> 00:47:38,710 alright 449 00:47:38,710 --> 00:47:40,409 so guys 450 00:47:40,409 --> 00:47:43,750 oh yeah there was another expression over there 451 00:47:43,750 --> 00:48:00,530 which i don't know if you notice no not that one hold on here okay as well those in need of 452 00:48:00,530 --> 00:48:06,489 spiritual help are out of luck masses are suspended as our weddings and funerals okay but 453 00:48:06,489 --> 00:48:15,889 low you understand this low here it's like uh it doesn't really mean anything okay it's like 454 00:48:15,889 --> 00:48:24,769 an emphasiser that you can use to uh for greater uh surprise okay like alas or alas as they said 455 00:48:24,769 --> 00:48:30,530 okay it's like but lo uh this is the area of the blast cell phone okay like sorpresa 456 00:48:30,530 --> 00:48:35,710 something like that it's not really a it's an emphasiser that we use sometimes 457 00:48:35,710 --> 00:48:42,570 okay so let's go ahead and uh let's do some proper work okay we've been working with the 458 00:48:42,570 --> 00:48:47,849 circumstances and so but we need to go back to the to the list of topics and 459 00:48:47,849 --> 00:48:57,389 so on so if you remember last day we worked on on unit 5.2 the energy the 460 00:48:57,389 --> 00:49:03,590 energy hungry world and so on and the last thing we did was covered the the 461 00:49:03,590 --> 00:49:12,269 grammar section that we have here okay now this is not on a second the grammar 462 00:49:12,269 --> 00:49:18,750 section that we have here and we work on the first uh passive exercise uh that we have over here okay 463 00:49:18,750 --> 00:49:26,550 so kind of the same thing uh let's work on uh exercise six this is on page 57 on your book 464 00:49:26,550 --> 00:49:35,889 okay you are given a text and this text provides a number of possibilities to to be completed okay 465 00:49:35,889 --> 00:49:41,750 what they're asking you to do is to complete the test choosing the most appropriate option okay 466 00:49:41,750 --> 00:49:49,710 it's uh activity number six actually if i do it like this you cannot see uh i'm counting that you 467 00:49:49,710 --> 00:49:56,789 have the book at home right most of you should in any case okay i'm just gonna make it like this 468 00:49:56,789 --> 00:50:00,969 just in case any of you don't doesn't have the book at hand so that you can still do it okay 469 00:50:00,969 --> 00:50:06,929 so let's have uh three four minutes uh working this choose or whatever you think are the best 470 00:50:06,929 --> 00:50:15,309 option for each gap and keep in mind that sometimes both will be possible and one will 471 00:50:15,309 --> 00:50:21,909 be better than the other because of what okay so don't just choose one think of which one might be 472 00:50:21,909 --> 00:50:29,769 better okay so i'll give you a couple minutes uh and then i'll put you in small groups so that you 473 00:50:29,769 --> 00:50:34,590 can compare your opinions about this okay actually let me try something let me try something about 474 00:50:34,590 --> 00:50:38,230 the program because i'm not sure how this works and it's a good opportunity to figure it out 475 00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:44,190 i'm going to break you into smaller groups now and i want you to tell me later if you could still 476 00:50:44,190 --> 00:50:49,829 see the shared screen or not okay i don't know if when i break you into smaller groups you can 477 00:50:49,829 --> 00:50:55,750 still see the shared screen or if that goes away and you can only see each other okay because you 478 00:50:55,750 --> 00:51:02,090 have the book and it's not a problem i'm gonna break you anyhow and then uh and then you no i 479 00:51:02,090 --> 00:51:05,690 you i think you cannot see the screen when i break you into groups 480 00:51:05,690 --> 00:51:09,210 now could you when we did it before could you see the share screen or not 481 00:51:09,210 --> 00:51:13,050 no it was only it was only because i think like in order to break you into 482 00:51:13,050 --> 00:51:16,489 groups i need to cancel the shared screen and that is what it 483 00:51:16,489 --> 00:51:21,610 allows me to break you into groups so so i'll leave it like this 484 00:51:21,610 --> 00:51:24,250 okay i'll give you a couple minutes and then i will probably put you all 485 00:51:24,250 --> 00:51:26,570 together 486 00:52:27,739 --> 00:52:37,409 you 487 00:54:20,360 --> 00:55:53,070 are we there guys so we try and compare our our um opinions on this okay 488 00:55:53,070 --> 00:56:01,369 right okay if i can do this oh yes okay so uh yeah uh blast what would you choose for the first one 489 00:56:01,369 --> 00:56:09,869 for the first one i think both are possible no both are possible both would be grammatically 490 00:56:09,869 --> 00:56:17,090 correct okay and actually uh there is not one which is clearly preferable to the other one 491 00:56:17,090 --> 00:56:24,289 okay because let me this is a spoiler if you jump to the last one for a second actually can 492 00:56:24,289 --> 00:56:30,429 you see like a red spotlight when i move my mouse around yes terrific i'm trying this out now so 493 00:56:30,429 --> 00:56:36,210 when it says like the last one number seven which says this salt is used in turn to heat water 494 00:56:36,210 --> 00:56:43,389 creating a stream that dries blah blah blah this is grammatically correct and they use this salt 495 00:56:43,389 --> 00:56:50,409 in turn to heat water it will also be grammatically correct okay but we understand that this is not 496 00:56:50,409 --> 00:56:55,210 like the proper thing to use over here and which is example the last one is the perfect example 497 00:56:55,210 --> 00:57:01,909 for a passive sentence okay because this they is not specified okay so my point here is that 498 00:57:01,909 --> 00:57:06,969 with some of your questions here both are grammatically fine but one of them would not 499 00:57:06,969 --> 00:57:14,510 be used okay however if we come to the very first example both are grammatically fine and both can 500 00:57:14,510 --> 00:57:21,570 be used equally only that your meaning not your meaning but your emphasis is slightly different 501 00:57:21,570 --> 00:57:27,449 so when i when i give out the first sentence millions of homes across europe could be powered 502 00:57:27,449 --> 00:57:34,710 by african sunshine the electricity generated blah blah blah and i keep on okay uh or african 503 00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:40,269 sunshine could power millions of homes across europe by 2020 so what's the difference then 504 00:57:40,269 --> 00:57:45,489 okay where is the where is the bigger surprise or where is the heavier weight 505 00:57:45,489 --> 00:57:49,429 what which part of the sentence is more important because that's the whole difference 506 00:57:49,429 --> 00:58:01,030 okay and in the other version we have it the other way around we have african sunshine 507 00:58:01,030 --> 00:58:07,349 as a beginner and millions of homes at the end whatever you put at the end of the sentence 508 00:58:07,349 --> 00:58:14,710 is going to carry heavier weight that is going to be like the most important part of the sentence 509 00:58:14,710 --> 00:58:22,309 this is the way the sentence structure in English works okay so you go and we'll see this a number 510 00:58:22,309 --> 00:58:30,150 of times but we go from known to new de lo ya conocido a la información nueva que aportas en 511 00:58:30,150 --> 00:58:36,309 la frase from known to new también en otros libros veréis que dicen from theme and dream 512 00:58:36,309 --> 00:58:43,590 el tema y luego la parte novedosa theme and dream known to new so the first part of the sentence 513 00:58:43,590 --> 00:58:49,409 here is giving you the topic okay this probably reminds you of the exercises you have done about 514 00:58:49,409 --> 00:58:53,949 you've been working on this week about the structure of the paragraph how we begin with 515 00:58:53,949 --> 00:58:58,349 some information and then we develop but we typically typically begin with that part of 516 00:58:58,349 --> 00:59:04,250 information that is shared that part which is already known by the people who are communicating 517 00:59:04,250 --> 00:59:06,369 And then we give the extra, the surprise, 518 00:59:06,510 --> 00:59:08,550 the new information at the end of the sentence 519 00:59:08,550 --> 00:59:11,869 because that carries more importance in English, okay? 520 00:59:12,150 --> 00:59:13,849 Millions of homes across Europe 521 00:59:13,849 --> 00:59:15,630 could be powered by African sunshine. 522 00:59:16,230 --> 00:59:17,969 Y la sorpresa, la parte novedosa ahí, 523 00:59:18,489 --> 00:59:21,130 lo que tú quieres destacar es que es African sunshine, 524 00:59:21,570 --> 00:59:22,929 no que sean millones de casas. 525 00:59:23,070 --> 00:59:24,909 A lo mejor eso, podrías poner otra cosa 526 00:59:24,909 --> 00:59:26,369 y sería menos importante, okay? 527 00:59:26,969 --> 00:59:28,110 Sin embargo, la siguiente frase, 528 00:59:28,469 --> 00:59:32,030 African sunshine could power millions of homes across Europe. 529 00:59:32,030 --> 00:59:34,309 and what you are highlighting there 530 00:59:34,309 --> 00:59:42,980 is that there are millions of houses 531 00:59:42,980 --> 00:59:44,420 not just the solar farm 532 00:59:44,420 --> 00:59:45,760 so the information one way or the other 533 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:46,719 whatever you put at the end 534 00:59:46,719 --> 00:59:48,420 is what you are paying more importance to 535 00:59:48,420 --> 00:59:50,900 so what about number 536 00:59:50,900 --> 00:59:53,019 what African sunshine could power millions of homes 537 00:59:53,019 --> 00:59:54,179 across Europe by 2020 538 00:59:54,179 --> 00:59:56,119 under a new 12 billion plan 539 00:59:56,119 --> 00:59:59,280 to build a giant solar farm in the Sahara desert 540 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:00,679 what about number two 541 01:00:00,679 --> 01:00:02,380 what about number two Beatriz 542 01:00:02,380 --> 01:00:03,699 what would you do for number two 543 01:00:03,699 --> 01:00:06,840 well I think 544 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:08,539 the electricity generated 545 01:00:08,539 --> 01:00:10,239 by the farm will be shipped 546 01:00:10,239 --> 01:00:15,039 it's better for me 547 01:00:15,039 --> 01:00:16,639 but I think 548 01:00:16,639 --> 01:00:18,719 operators will ship 549 01:00:18,719 --> 01:00:20,860 the electricity generated, it's also possible 550 01:00:20,860 --> 01:00:22,780 it is correct but it's more 551 01:00:22,780 --> 01:00:24,920 it is correct grammatically 552 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:25,900 but it's more clumsy 553 01:00:25,900 --> 01:00:28,780 these operators here are no ones to you 554 01:00:28,780 --> 01:00:29,880 they haven't been in here 555 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,039 they are not 556 01:00:31,039 --> 01:00:34,980 both are grammatically correct 557 01:00:34,980 --> 01:00:36,679 but one of the versions 558 01:00:36,679 --> 01:00:42,420 we would not use because it doesn't add any information i want you to realize how that is 559 01:00:42,420 --> 01:00:48,920 different i keep pointing at the screen with my finger i want you to realize how that is different 560 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:55,380 from the situation we had in the first sentence okay because in the first in the first uh exercise 561 01:00:55,380 --> 01:01:02,420 the first question here both were meaningful okay however in the second one it's only the 562 01:01:02,420 --> 01:01:05,300 electricity generated by the farm will be shipped. That is 563 01:01:05,300 --> 01:01:09,420 meaningful. The other one is clumsy. Okay, good.

Sometimes we use the typical 870 01:20:00,340 --> 01:20:07,939 proposition for the uh for the passive is by okay but sometimes we can have the agent introduced by 871 01:20:07,939 --> 01:20:14,579 different propositions uh sometimes we use uh through for example uh i can't think of any 872 01:20:14,579 --> 01:20:18,020 examples now can you think of an example immediately if you can think of one you let us 873 01:20:18,020 --> 01:20:32,640 now for example the the the castle was ruined through the passage of time or by 874 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:37,979 the passage of time by the person in

01:21:20,180 So, typically we only use by, 887 01:21:20,260 --> 01:21:21,319 but sometimes you'll have 888 01:21:21,319 --> 01:21:22,359 idiomatic expressions 889 01:21:22,359 --> 01:21:23,739 which just take 890 01:21:23,739 --> 01:21:24,500 a different preposition. 891 01:21:25,119 --> 01:21:25,159 Okay. 892 01:21:25,619 --> 01:21:26,619 Oh, she's... 893 01:21:26,619 --> 01:21:27,859 Beatriz is

is what we'll end weight yes questions or anything yeah sorry please 901 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:53,840 um where did you take this information because i have different books about uh 902 01:21:53,840 --> 01:22:00,960 arms grammar with canvas and sure have a look like i think i i i read something about one of 903 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:06,640 my books but i don't remember which one let me let me hold you and and tell you in a sec it always 904 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:15,460 the the books that i uh use are typically egc you will see it in the name of the book in the name of 905 01:22:15,460 --> 01:22:28,659 the file okay it stands for english grammar course english grammar course okay which is uh michael 906 01:22:28,659 --> 01:22:41,140 swan oh my god yeah it's at oxford okay yeah okay and then the 2.251 is the page is the page where 907 01:22:41,140 --> 01:22:46,439 you can find it okay or the page or the unit i can't remember now and then the other book i 908 01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:56,140 typically use is peu which stands for practical english usage okay which is also by michael swan 909 01:22:56,140 --> 01:23:02,800 i like michael swan by the way not everybody likes him but i like him and i think my practical 910 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:07,199 english usage is on cambridge i could know it's an oxford as well it's an oxford as well 911 01:23:07,199 --> 01:23:17,000 actually since this is my little library over here so this is the one that i most typically use 912 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:23,960 practical english usage i got it it's a classic okay yeah i have a classic and i like it a lot 913 01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:31,119 because this guy makes a lot of sense in that he says that uh when we're learning grammar 914 01:23:31,119 --> 01:23:38,600 we should tend to have short explanations and lots of examples it's actually through the examples 915 01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:43,640 that you get it this is heavy in the sense that this one is the second one that i gave you so 916 01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:47,500 this has more explanations but it's not like a traditional grammar with plenty of explanations 917 01:23:47,500 --> 01:23:55,159 and then the other ones the other one which i just told you is this english grammar course 918 01:23:55,159 --> 01:24:00,819 there is a basic version there is an intermediate and there is an advanced which is the one where 919 01:24:00,819 --> 01:24:06,779 i typically take things for you okay this is again it's again michael swan and country walker 920 01:24:06,779 --> 01:24:12,659 uh english grammar course the advanced uh version okay so these are the two that i 921 01:24:12,659 --> 01:24:22,760 most typically use okay happy guys yeah well so i leave you to work on these examples for 922 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:28,600 for next day and to read them through and again this will come up again and we'll see more 923 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:33,840 advanced stuff about this okay it's not just like that but there is another piece that i want to see 924 01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:40,140 before we actually uh finish go go over to your book on page 57 we're going to talk about 925 01:24:40,140 --> 01:24:46,319 nominalization. Okay? Nominalization is another device that we use to enrich or 926 01:24:46,319 --> 01:24:52,920 to, yeah, to enrich our sentences or to sift them around a little bit. So let's 927 01:24:52,920 --> 01:25:09,510 go over and see some examples there. It's this one. Why is this not working? Oh, there 928 01:25:09,510 --> 01:25:20,069 it is okay so guys very uh um simply these two sentences they give that they give you here okay 929 01:25:20,789 --> 01:25:26,470 half a minute read them through and and try to answer uh the two questions that that we 930 01:25:26,470 --> 01:25:33,210 are giving okay actually i'm going to uh i'm going to break you into rooms for a minute so 931 01:25:33,210 --> 01:25:36,890 that you can do this in part you all have the book you said right so you can see this at home 932 01:25:36,890 --> 01:25:45,770 which page it's on page 57 what are we supposed to do and then you are supposed to go over this 933 01:25:45,770 --> 01:25:51,430 is on page 57 it's exercise number seven they give you two sentences these two damn it they 934 01:25:51,430 --> 01:25:56,510 give you these two sentences and then you are supposed to answer these two questions a and b 935 01:25:56,510 --> 01:26:02,510 okay this is straightforward it shouldn't take you more than a minute but i think it's better if you 936 01:26:02,510 --> 01:26:10,970 if you if you have a chance to discuss it okay in smaller groups 937 01:28:21,630 --> 01:29:40,149 Thank you. 938 01:29:40,170 --> 01:30:13,510 Thank you. 939 01:30:13,529 --> 01:31:31,479 all right so we'll be getting back in a minute we're back 940 01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:35,720 sorry 941 01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:44,560 yeah well i think it works pretty nice right because it gives it gives you a warning so at 942 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,119 You know that you have just a few more seconds to go. 943 01:31:48,659 --> 01:31:51,300 I'm quite happy with the outcome of the whole thing. 944 01:31:51,420 --> 01:31:52,899 I mean, there's many things over here 945 01:31:52,899 --> 01:31:55,100 which I still don't control properly and so on. 946 01:31:56,939 --> 01:31:58,239 It's working very well. 947 01:31:58,539 --> 01:31:59,520 I think so, right? 948 01:31:59,619 --> 01:32:00,460 It's working very well. 949 01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:04,239 You know that I am the principal of the school 950 01:32:04,239 --> 01:32:07,239 and I was trying to encourage teachers 951 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:09,239 to use this system 952 01:32:09,779 --> 01:32:12,619 because, of course, it takes you some time to set it up. 953 01:32:12,619 --> 01:32:16,439 you need to make, you know, trial and error. 954 01:32:16,859 --> 01:32:19,060 Let's see if I can do this or not and this and that. 955 01:32:19,159 --> 01:32:21,479 But, you know, once you've done this for a, 956 01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:24,000 if you play around with it for a few hours 957 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,319 and you have a webcam at home, 958 01:32:26,779 --> 01:32:28,979 you are pretty much able of doing it, okay? 959 01:32:29,340 --> 01:32:30,539 Maybe it's not going to be perfect. 960 01:32:30,739 --> 01:32:32,560 Maybe not all the students are going to show up. 961 01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,300 Like over here, guys, we've been like about 11. 962 01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:38,899 Maybe in class we would be like, what, 15, 18 at the most. 963 01:32:38,899 --> 01:32:45,579 so yes it's not like being it's not life as usual there's special circumstances but i think it's 964 01:32:45,579 --> 01:32:50,340 also a learning and a growing opportunity because many of the things that we are trying out and 965 01:32:50,340 --> 01:32:56,140 developing now could be incorporated to our lessons to some extent i'm afraid of that because 966 01:32:56,140 --> 01:33:00,779 maybe they discover they don't need teachers anymore or something like that well i'm still 967 01:33:00,779 --> 01:33:11,819 here i'm still here but you can use it no blast i mean it's another way of written well maybe we 968 01:33:11,819 --> 01:33:15,659 don't need such a big building or maybe we can offer more lessons because you know one of the 969 01:33:15,659 --> 01:33:21,979 problems we have is that we don't have enough space at 7 p.m for example you know and you know 970 01:33:21,979 --> 01:33:27,260 maybe there's people who only want to do it this way and we could have teachers with them at that 971 01:33:27,260 --> 01:33:32,140 time you know i think i think we need to be open-minded and consider all consider all these 972 01:33:32,140 --> 01:33:38,140 things i certainly do you have more lessons more teachers are needed also for example that's it 973 01:33:38,140 --> 01:33:44,220 that's it yeah and also you know the guys who were not able to attend we are recording this session 974 01:33:44,859 --> 01:33:51,979 okay the whole thing is recorded so i i what i'm planning on doing is uh uploaded it uploaded 975 01:33:51,979 --> 01:34:00,180 uh to the educa madrid i can't remember the name the mediateca okay and then uh i can i can set a 976 01:34:00,180 --> 01:34:06,220 password i can set up a password and you know if for those of you know the rest of the students in 977 01:34:06,220 --> 01:34:10,180 the classroom who were not able to attend and so on they can give them the password and they can 978 01:34:10,180 --> 01:34:16,659 still watch the explanation and and everything so it's all advantages if we are you know if 979 01:34:16,659 --> 01:34:24,939 if we are open-minded enough about it i think do you use the the um the computer uh camera or do 980 01:34:24,939 --> 01:34:32,380 you need an extra uh webcam me myself at home you mean yes i'm using the computer's camera 981 01:34:32,380 --> 01:34:38,539 only that i have two screens just like you do so my laptop instead of being side by side with the 982 01:34:38,539 --> 01:34:44,619 big screen it's on the side so my laptop is over here on a side desk and i have an external an 983 01:34:44,619 --> 01:34:53,159 external keyboard and an external screen so i'm actually working on the computer but also this 984 01:34:53,159 --> 01:34:59,840 is my good side not the good one but the the best the the less bad one so to say okay so frontal is 985 01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:04,539 not so good but this side is not too bad so this is like these are things that you have to work 986 01:35:04,539 --> 01:35:06,899 out when you prepare your settings for online lessons 987 01:35:06,899 --> 01:35:17,819 oh well you're also wearing a pyjama no no no it's it's uh it's uh well no it's not 988 01:35:17,819 --> 01:35:24,159 it's not but it's comfortable it's comfortable clothes yes and one thing will you send the link 989 01:35:24,159 --> 01:35:31,720 of the previous class yes because i have tried to see where is the record the class but i haven't 990 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:38,159 yeah because i i think it's not available yet but i can make it i've been i've been investigating 991 01:35:38,159 --> 01:35:44,779 how how we could do that and hopefully tomorrow i'll be able to upload both what we did today 992 01:35:44,779 --> 01:35:50,920 and what we did last day okay perfect hopefully also i'm not too good at this still not too good 993 01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:57,380 at this because i've i've not been paying too much attention to the chat uh i can't look at 994 01:35:57,380 --> 01:36:04,079 places i guess yes a lot of things at the same time you must have noticed uh like to two three 995 01:36:04,079 --> 01:36:09,199 of you two or three of you you got like uh at some points when you were saying something and 996 01:36:09,199 --> 01:36:16,539 there was a mistake over there i went over to the chat and i privately uh typed to you okay 997 01:36:16,539 --> 01:36:22,699 i only did it like two or three times okay because i'm still but again it's a good way of giving you 998 01:36:22,699 --> 01:36:27,659 feedback which is persistent because you know typically what we do in the classroom is that i 999 01:36:27,659 --> 01:36:33,300 repeat after you with the corrected version so if you say something which is wrong i typically let 1000 01:36:33,300 --> 01:36:39,439 you go so as not to stop your fluency but then i i kind of repeat what you have said with the 1001 01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:45,420 proper language that's the typical technique okay so which is good that works but this gives me a 1002 01:36:45,420 --> 01:36:50,699 complementary way of doing it an additional way of doing it which is writing like a little message 1003 01:36:50,699 --> 01:36:55,720 over there so that you can see it and keep it with you okay so i think it's all advantages but 1004 01:36:55,720 --> 01:37:01,899 we need to work on it okay we have to work on that yeah and i am happy because uh uh there was uh 1005 01:37:01,899 --> 01:37:10,880 close to 30 teachers oh really that uh yeah they sign up for zoom at least to try it out okay some 1006 01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:16,539 of them are working like we are guys and some of them have tried but still not been able and this 1007 01:37:16,539 --> 01:37:25,020 that but but i'm happy about that i think it is the platform that is used for a lot of features 1008 01:37:26,220 --> 01:37:31,180 i've i was actually doing research before all this happened i was doing research because you 1009 01:37:31,180 --> 01:37:38,619 know paloma just raised her hand i could see that so paloma go ahead sorry i'm taking i'm 1010 01:37:39,340 --> 01:37:44,300 i'm taking all these things here i'm sorry oh you're checking out okay terrific terrific no 1011 01:37:44,300 --> 01:37:48,319 Now, it's good because it's actually the first time that I see you raising your hand. 1012 01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:51,039 Maybe you've done it before, but I was not paying attention. 1013 01:37:51,180 --> 01:37:52,279 But now I could see it properly. 1014 01:37:52,340 --> 01:37:55,619 I could see the hand over there, which is also a very polite way. 1015 01:37:55,899 --> 01:37:57,079 But I think we are doing fine. 1016 01:37:57,779 --> 01:38:03,239 Oh, I think we're doing also fine with the interaction because we typically all come 1017 01:38:03,239 --> 01:38:06,619 talk, but we are not stepping on each other where it's too frequently. 1018 01:38:07,500 --> 01:38:09,420 So I'm satisfied. 1019 01:38:10,380 --> 01:38:15,659 And before I get excited about this, let's very quickly go over to what I wanted to show you, 1020 01:38:15,659 --> 01:38:22,060 which is the, which is the, this last exercise. We'll just finish with this and this will be an 1021 01:38:22,060 --> 01:38:26,380 introduction to it, okay? So, but what we have done with these two sentences, American energy 1022 01:38:26,380 --> 01:38:32,060 consumption will, could be reduced if people prioritized, okay? So over here we have the verb, 1023 01:38:32,060 --> 01:38:42,560 right? Prioritized summit. And in the second version, what we have is American energy 1024 01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:48,720 consumption could be reduced if greater priority was given, right? So there was a nominalization 1025 01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:54,319 in the sense that instead of using the active voice, the verb, we use the noun, okay? 1026 01:38:54,880 --> 01:39:01,920 And then what we have is some other changes that are made, okay? Instead of prioritized, 1027 01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:05,239 we have to give priority to something. 1028 01:39:05,739 --> 01:39:07,079 O sea, que hemos pasado de una estructura 1029 01:39:07,079 --> 01:39:09,539 puramente verbal, de un verbo en su infinitivo, 1030 01:39:10,020 --> 01:39:11,800 a una perífrasis verbal, ¿no? 1031 01:39:12,100 --> 01:39:15,260 O a una estructura verbal con un nombre, 1032 01:39:15,659 --> 01:39:17,180 de dar mayor prioridad a. 1033 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:18,020 Okay? 1034 01:39:18,460 --> 01:39:20,680 So it's a little bit like what we were saying before, 1035 01:39:21,100 --> 01:39:22,920 that we have several ways of saying things, 1036 01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:28,840 but sometimes the meaning is the same or very close, 1037 01:39:29,279 --> 01:39:31,819 but the feeling of the text is different, okay? 1038 01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:40,159 Entonces, tenemos esos dos cambios, the use of the noun and the verb, okay? 1039 01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:46,460 So, guys, if you look very quickly into the following exercise here, okay? 1040 01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:50,720 They have agreed on the main points, but not the details, okay? 1041 01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:53,880 Con agreed, pues, ¿qué va a ser?
