じゃあ、
Hey, is everything going
your way??
This means that
everything is going
the way you want!!!
We've done a couple
of posts on imagery!
Why is imagery important?
First, try to remember these
words:
"Skeptical, mysterious,
missing link, controversy,
evolution, authentic"
It's tough to learn
and remember this kind
of vocabulary!!
Try just looking at the words
and review a couple of days
later and see if you still
remember.
Images help us remember!
Why do so many companies
spend so much money on
billboards (広告版) and fancy commercials?
The interesting images help
us to remember the name
of their product!!!
We need to use
this to help us
learn as well!
Bigfoot ビッグフット
Sasquatch, Yeti, Apeman
One day, I taught
a student using
a video documentary
of bigfoot!!!
Honestly, I knew
that my teachers when
I was in school, would
think that was funny!
The student and I laughed and
enjoyed the experience!
However, I knew that
the student would remember
the name "bigfoot" the next
time we had class!
Note: This video is for
advanced listeners!!
When listeners pass the
intermediate level,
they need to listen to material
that was not created
for an ESL Student!
*intermediate: 中級の
ESL=English as a Second Language: 第二言語としての英語
The video is not easy
to listen to and makes
you concentrate!
Now, if we look at
the vocabulary from
earlier, we can
use this video
to help us!!
Skeptical
To doubt something
"I am skeptical of bigfoot stories."
Mysterious
Interesting and unusual
"Bigfoot is a mysterious creature."
Controversy
A topic that is publicly
debated
"Bigfoot stories create controversy in
some scientific communities."
Evolution
The process of a person
or animal changing into
a more complex form.
"Humans evolved from apes."
Missing link
Scientists have not
found a half man half
ape creature. This creature
would prove that people
evolved from apes. This
is called the missing link.
Some people believe that
Bigfoot is the missing link!!!
Authentic
This describes something
that is real and not fake,
especially with evidence.
"The video looks authentic.
Many scientists think it is
not authentic, but many
think that it is real."
After this class, I saw
my student the next week.
The student remembered
all of the vocabulary!!!
They also laughed when
they used the word skeptical!!
A connection was made
between this word
and bigfoot!
*septical: 懐疑(かいぎ)的な
mysterious: 神秘的な
missing link: ミッシングリンク(進化の過程において、
生物の系統の欠けた部分に想定される未発見の化石)
ape: 類人猿
creature: 生き物
evidence: 証拠
controversy: 論争
evolution: 進化
authentic: 本物の
英語でこれなんていう???
雪男
Abominable Snowman
This is basically
another version
of Bigfoot that
lives in the mountains!
Abominable means horrible,
disgusting and loathsome!
"I believe in the abominable
snowman."
"The abominable snowman
is called the Yeti in Tibet."
A snowman is a cute
snow statue that kids
make with snow!
It is very different
if you add the word
abominable!!!
I hope the New York
Neighborhood Series
is helping you to
get a picture
of the city!!!
