All right. Thank you, Maboula. Nice presentation. It was quite effective for your purpose, and you showed that you can construct a discourse around your topic and your presentation.
00:00:00
I see there's been some effort to use interesting vocabulary, and there's a few grammar things here and there that are remarkable as well, or noticeable.
00:00:15
and so the structure is good I like the structure I will just say that the title
00:00:25
maybe it's a bit too generic because you have no clue what your presentation is
00:00:31
going to be about if you you know if you take it out of the context of the forum
00:00:35
and so on we wouldn't know so maybe I understand that you want to create
00:00:40
expectations with that title what's next and you want to you want to make us
00:00:45
think about it and so on. But maybe I would suggest introducing some of the key
00:00:49
weights in there. Is water next? Are oceans next? And then it would give us, I
00:00:56
think, a better clue. We would know that you are talking about expectations and so on, but we would also know what the core of the subject is.
00:01:02
For example, are oceans next? It's good that you include this trigger about the
00:01:08
microplastic away being the most looked at one. Then the structure, you give the
00:01:15
structure of your talk, talking about that in a minute, you walk us through your
00:01:22
presentation very nicely, you explain different flows over there, so that is
00:01:27
good, and also your conclusion is there, but I think we could have worked out
00:01:32
something more powerful there. So let me go over the whole presentation and
00:01:42
I'll point out some of the problems there and talk about these other
00:01:47
issues as well. As to the problems, there is something that I want to emphasize
00:01:53
which is thought groups. Once again, sometimes you are not mispronouncing
00:01:57
words as such, but the breakout of the thoughts is not the most appropriate one.
00:02:03
So if you make pauses in between the components of the thought group, the idea,
00:02:08
then they kind of become unrelated.
00:02:15
So this is something that we need to avoid.
00:02:19
We need to keep together those words that belong to a single idea.
00:02:23
So let's go ahead.
00:02:28
What's next?
00:02:31
That's the question that comes to my mind when thinking about human beings' actions
00:02:33
and its effects on the Earth and its environment.
00:02:38
We have two little examples over there, okay?
00:02:41
Not the most noticeable ones, but they're there.
00:02:43
This is the first thing that comes to my mind.
00:02:45
You notice you made a little pause over there.
00:02:48
This is the first thing that comes to my mind.
00:02:50
And it actually actually, like,
00:02:53
it's the first thing that comes to my mind.
00:02:54
Comes to my mind.
00:02:56
The first thing that comes to my mind.
00:02:58
Comes to my mind should be all together, okay?
00:03:01
and then human beings actions actually should be human beings actions you need
00:03:03
to shh to bracket to bracket it all together within your pronunciation okay
00:03:12
thought groups I'll make a link available to you to check more on this
00:03:17
Recently microplasticos was selected as the word of the year in our country and
00:03:24
and it was a powerful trigger for this presentation.
00:03:30
Doing some searching related to pollution, I found some worrying facts that I would like to share.
00:03:34
This is kind of a minor thing, worrying.
00:03:40
We need to, it's not that important, but it actually sounds much better when you do it.
00:03:43
You need to work a little bit on the ending of words, okay?
00:03:51
The G is not fully pronounced, but you need to be able to hear it.
00:03:56
Worrying. Worrying. Okay. It's my new thing. So you. I will expose some worrying facts.
00:04:00
Not quite. Expose is something that we use to bring something to the light that was hidden.
00:04:12
so you expose a corruption case or you expose or you get exposed to like you
00:04:21
know when when you were hiding and then somebody brings the attention to you you
00:04:29
feel exposed but what you're going to do is to explain something about those
00:04:35
sense, what is happening with wildlife, the alarming global warming, and other
00:04:44
issues to be aware of. Okay, so other issues that should be aware of, that we
00:04:53
should be aware of. It's a nice structure, the 2b2 that you're using there, but
00:05:01
that's, I mean, yes, you can use it, but I think it would relate better to your
00:05:05
audience, because here you have a definite audience, so it's better to use,
00:05:11
sometimes to use the personal constructions than than the personal ones
00:05:14
okay yeah so you say these are other issues to keep in mind or these are other
00:05:19
issues to be aware of that's fine but probably relates better if you use the
00:05:23
personal construction there so these are there's other issues that we should be
00:05:28
aware of and again very minor thing okay and I note is that that usage of TV
00:05:32
tools so that comes in positive now as to the way that you produce your that you
00:05:37
that you deliver your structure because this is basically the structure of your
00:05:43
talk there's a number of points which are clearly defined over there I just
00:05:46
think that you could do a better job combining combining your different
00:05:50
topics into into a point instead of just reading and giving them in isolation
00:05:56
something like an encompassing statement maybe and this is just an example so so
00:06:02
what's next well I'm trying to show you how oceans or I'm trying to prove how
00:06:07
oceans are getting cluttered. So yes, they're getting cluttered and this is
00:06:12
damaging wildlife and even it's producing a whole degradation of
00:06:17
water mass around the world. What I mean by this is that I took some of the
00:06:21
elements, oceans, and maybe gave just some side information of it, that they
00:06:27
are getting cluttered. You would say maybe you're getting ahead. Well, but you
00:06:32
know, it's a mix of keeping the expectation and giving something
00:06:35
away so that you can
00:06:39
gradually build up your presentation
00:06:40
ok
00:06:43
so it's kind of the same thing as with the title
00:06:44
what's happening with the ocean, what about wildlife
00:06:47
so
00:06:49
the questions are fine but you need to be
00:06:50
introducing
00:06:52
your questions should be leading
00:06:53
to your answer to make it
00:06:57
just gorgeous
00:06:58
and then the last two
00:06:59
topics over there, if you can find something
00:07:03
in common which is
00:07:05
water mass, basically I think it's
00:07:07
it's the way that water matter is being degraded so you can just put those two
00:07:08
together into one single statement. So you are basically showing us how oceans
00:07:13
are getting cluttered and thus damaging wildlife and reducing the whole
00:07:18
degradation of water matter around the world. Just an idea.
00:07:23
Other issues to be aware of. The first is related to oceans. The raw deal is that we are
00:07:32
consuming and littering known by degradable materials like plastics.
00:07:40
Or trusses taking downstream from rivers into the ocean where currents sweep it to the closest
00:07:45
patch.
00:07:52
A rabbit patch is a popular name for the concentration of marine debris in the ocean.
00:07:53
Debris is a very nice word and you are also explaining a top word that is relevant, so
00:08:00
well done.
00:08:05
five big garbage patches in our oceans the biggest is the great pacific ocean garbage patch
00:08:06
and it is at least the size of portugal spain and france together and it is about 10 meters
00:08:16
deep and wages at least 100 i think there's a problem with this where i understood wages
00:08:22
i think you mean ways this is kind of a difficult verb sometimes for for us because we're used to
00:08:28
to the word, to the noun, wait. But remember that the verb is to weigh. Weigh. So it weighs,
00:08:33
yeah, suena como camino, yes, weighs. So it weighs ten tons, or whatever it is. Weighs.
00:08:40
Weigh. Alright. Ten million tons. Those plastic items break into tiny particles that are eaten
00:08:47
by fish, birds, marine mammals. Alright, you're using the passive voice over there, so that's
00:08:58
and can rupture their organs or cause them starvation.
00:09:03
But the most fundamental issue is caused by our famous
00:09:07
microplasticos or microplastics
00:09:11
which near the surface...
00:09:15
Yeah, our famous microplastics are near the
00:09:19
surface. Now the thing with this word is that
00:09:23
when it works as a suffix, it's not pronounced
00:09:27
fully okay it's like the reduced pronunciation so look at this surface
00:09:31
surface surface surface again it's like a suffix here it's not stressed and not
00:09:36
the suffix but it's not stressed okay these tresses in the first syllable so
00:09:47
when this when this compound it's not stressed it's pronounced fists surface
00:09:51
Surface. There are not actually that many words, but this is another quite common one.
00:09:57
Preface.
00:10:07
Preface. The surface.
00:10:08
Let's go on.
00:10:12
The ocean blocks sunlight from reaching Placton and other below.
00:10:14
And we know that without Placton...
00:10:19
I think you missed the S there. Blocks. But I wasn't quite sure.
00:10:20
the entire marine ecosystem will collapse bigger mammals and marine life
00:10:24
get constricted by pieces of plastic waste or die due to starving unable to
00:10:31
eat like the turtle or the seal you can see and can you see the carcass of the
00:10:42
baby bird that has... The carcass. The carcass is a very nice word. It's a very powerful
00:10:49
picture. Very nice example. It's carcass. Carcass. Carcass. It is full of plastic particles.
00:11:00
A single plastic bag can kill over 100 dolphins. There you go. One more time. This is the thought
00:11:15
group thing a single plastic bag can kill over 100 dolphins you see how the 100 dolphins is
00:11:22
like detached and it should be they should be in the same thought group they should be pronounced
00:11:29
together not marked out should be bracketed in single plastic bag can kill over 100 dolphins
00:11:33
over 100 dolphins so needless to say that it is an alarming issue all right so there's nice
00:11:40
linking and list of say and so on. But even more astonishing is the difficult
00:11:50
situation of wildlife. The world is facing the first mass extinction since
00:11:56
the dinosaurs. Earth has lost half of its wildlife in the past 40 years according
00:12:02
what WWF organization says. According to what the WWF organization says.
00:12:09
according to. The current rate of extinction is about 100 times faster than
00:12:17
what is considered normal. The fastest decline among the animal populations
00:12:24
were found in French water ecosystems. We know that rivers are the bottom of the
00:12:30
system and whatever happens on the land it all ends up in the rivers. You have to
00:12:36
careful here with uh double uh subjects whatever happens
00:12:42
so whatever happens uh whatever happens what is it whatever happens on the land
00:12:52
ends up in the river you know it's there was uh was like a double subject but let me play it back
00:12:59
for a second we're found in friends water ecosystems we know that rivers are the bottom
00:13:08
of the system and whatever happens on the land it all ends up in the rivers so whatever happens in
00:13:14
the land ends up on the rivers okay the it is superfluous it's like a double subject
00:13:20
uh we don't do it we sometimes do it when we speak but there should be like an intended course
00:13:28
it should be marked out as a different sentence that was a next kind of so
00:13:33
whatever happens on the land well you know it all ends up in the rivers in
00:13:42
that way you could have it but if you actually construct it as one single
00:13:47
sentence as one single utterance of it so to say there should not be it there
00:13:51
for example tens of billions of effluent are dumped in the Ganges in India every
00:13:56
year. Tens of billions of what? I couldn't get that word. I don't know. Did you say
00:14:08
affluence? Did you mean tributaries? I don't know. I couldn't catch that word.
00:14:15
damage is not inevitable but inevitable a consequence of the way we choose to
00:14:22
same thing here okay so consequence consequence consequence
00:14:46
yeah we need to notice that stress lies on the first few syllables in English
00:14:52
much more commonly than in Spanish the next difficult to consider is global
00:14:57
warming the next there you are mistaken and adjective for the noun okay so the
00:15:06
next difficulty difficulty and again it's another example of a word which
00:15:13
with the stress at the beginning, which is kind of difficult for us, we tend to forget that.
00:15:21
So, inevitable, consequence, difficulty.
00:15:27
Here, this is an example of how prefixes are not usually stressed.
00:15:38
So, these two, consequence and difficulty, are examples of where it's with the stress in the first syllable.
00:15:43
Inevitable is an example of how prefixes are usually not stressed.
00:15:49
And ratio retreat.
00:15:55
Global warming is the term that is used for the gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans.
00:15:59
Kind of the same thing here, the Earth's atmosphere.
00:16:09
Do you notice how there is a very little pause over there?
00:16:13
In this case, it's not a big problem as in some of the other examples, but it is showing a tendency, okay?
00:16:16
So it's the Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere.
00:16:22
Not the Earth's atmosphere.
00:16:27
And it produces changes
00:16:32
like rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps and
00:16:34
the increase in the severity of storms and other weather events.
00:16:40
The increase in severity of these storms and other weather events, and other, of a different
00:16:45
kind.
00:16:57
It's not one more, it's like a different kind.
00:16:58
Volumes of carbon dioxide and another greenhouse gases released by human activities are believed
00:17:03
to be the primary sources of global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years.
00:17:11
And what can we say?
00:17:25
I mean, nice, they are believed to be, they are believed to be this passive-infinitive
00:17:26
construction.
00:17:33
There is one more thing about intonation or stress in this case that I want to highlight
00:17:34
And it's these words, okay?
00:17:40
You were mentioning greenhouse effects, okay?
00:17:43
Or gases or whatever it is.
00:17:47
Notice this.
00:17:49
When we have a compound like this,
00:17:51
the stress, again, because it's a noun,
00:17:54
comes here, greenhouse.
00:17:56
Greenhouse.
00:17:59
Because it's a full compound noun.
00:18:00
Greenhouse.
00:18:03
So it's a greenhouse effect.
00:18:03
Now, if you were to pronounce,
00:18:05
si fueras a hablar de una casa verde,
00:18:07
then it could be a green house.
00:18:08
Pero como es green house, como un nombre en sí mismo,
00:18:11
or green house effect being used as an adjective,
00:18:15
el estrés no está en el mismo sitio, el acento no está en el mismo sitio.
00:18:20
Esto es lo que quiero señalar, ¿ok?
00:18:22
So, si la palabra central es house, porque me estás hablando de una casa,
00:18:24
entonces sí es the green house is very beautiful.
00:18:28
The green house is very, very beautiful.
00:18:33
If you are talking to me about greenhouse as a name in itself, even if you use it as an adjective for gases,
00:18:36
then it is a greenhouse effect, the stress goes to the beginning and this is a general norm for composting.
00:18:44
The dehydration of land, as we see in these pictures, or the indiscriminate logging and so on.
00:18:52
indiscriminate now indiscriminate now pay attention all the endings of adjectives
00:19:02
like this they are always pronounced like this indiscriminate indiscriminate
00:19:10
as never before in the non-human history we are facing an increasing amount of
00:19:18
issues that made me think about and ask will humans be able to fix the world to
00:19:25
solve all these problems as to restore the natural and proper equilibrium that
00:19:35
will allow us to live happily all right so that was like your ending and the
00:19:40
ending is there the conclusion is there it's nice to have your ending with
00:19:47
questions an open question I just think that you should mark it out you should
00:19:50
make it clear, much more clear to us that you've reached your conclusion, okay?
00:19:55
So, just say it. So, finally, or so, to conclude, or so, a final thought, my final
00:20:01
thought is, this all makes me think about blah blah blah, and ask, actually it
00:20:11
should be, it all makes me think whether this is going to be blah blah blah,
00:20:18
Because what follows is, in your case, it was a clause with an active verb.
00:20:22
It was not a noun.
00:20:28
So, instead of using about, which is a preposition, we should use whether, which is a conjunction.
00:20:30
It makes me think whether she will come.
00:20:36
And it makes me think about her coming.
00:20:41
But makes me think about her, makes me think about she will come.
00:20:45
That doesn't work.
00:20:49
You see what I mean?
00:20:50
So, if what follows THINK is a noun, then you use a preposition, about.
00:20:51
If what follows is a cause, then you use whether.
00:20:56
Think whether we would be able to cope with this.
00:20:59
Actually, to make your conclusion a bit more powerful,
00:21:02
I could probably mark it out with a clip sentence of some form, for example.
00:21:07
So, finally, to me the question that remains to be answered is
00:21:14
will we be able to cope with blah blah blah blah blah and then you you're taking that
00:21:18
opportunity to to use some powerful grammar structures ah thank you very nice or no
