Scripts Module 1 Unit 1
The first speaker
As languages have grammar rules, I need to learn grammatical terms to understand the system of a language. I like studying grammar, working with vocabulary. I think learning goes better if you are systematic about how you go about it. So
grammar and vocabulary exercises are a major part of my learning English.
The second speaker
Well, languages have grammar rules, but native speakers don’t know them, so you
don’t need to bother about them very much. I try hard to communicate no matter how many mistakes I may be making. Of course, the teacher can help, but learning is your problem. The best way to learn a language is to pretend to be a native speaker, and then act out a situation. I personally enjoy real-world activities like ordering food in a real restaurant and so on.
The third speaker
The best way to learn a language for me is learning in the country where it is spoken, because I easily absorb it, pick up new words and phrases. If I make a mistake and someone corrects it, I just memorize without really trying to analyze it. I also enjoy listening to the radio or watching TV. The more - the better. When I hear a new word, I am trying to remember it like children do.
The fourth speaker
When I learn a language I feel I need the support of a person who I am sure knows the subject better than I. Before I say something I feel I need the approval whether I am using the language correctly or not. It could be just a nod. As for mistakes I want them corrected at once.
The fifth speaker
When I hear a new word I prefer looking it up in the dictionary and writing it down. I need to translate everything into my own language to fully understand what it means or how it works.
The sixth speaker
Before I really grasp any material (words, grammar rules, a story) I need to read.
Module 1 Unit 2
Tick, tick, tick ... It's time moving on. College students often report that their inability to manage their time is the biggest problem they face in college. Time management is a skill few people master, but it is one that most people need.
You have so many competing demands on your time: friends, movies, studying lectures, home, relationships and on and on. How can you come to grips with all of it? Most time management experts say that one of the first things people
need to do to manage their time is to determine how they spend their time now.
Did you catch that? Time really can't be managed. You can't slow it down or speed it up or manufacture it. It just IS. Time management is MANAGING YOURSELF when following some basic time management principles.
TIME MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
Everyone has high and low periods of attention and concentration. Are you a "morning person" or a "night person". Use your power times to study; use the down times for routines such as laundry and household tasks.
Then, when you are fresh, you can process information more quickly and save time as a result.
Another important thing is studying in shorter time blocks with short breaks between. This keeps you from getting tired and "wasting time." This type of studying is efficient because while you are taking a break, the brain is still processing the information.
You will also need to reduce distractions which can "waste time." If there are times in the residence halls or your apartment when you know there will be noise and commotion, use that time for mindless tasks.
Don’t forget college is more than studying. You need to have a social life, yet, you need to have a balance in your life.
Sleep is often an activity (or lack of activity) that students use as their time management "bank." When they need a few extra hours for studying or socializing, they withdraw a few hours of sleep. Doing this makes the time they spend studying less effective because they will need a couple hours of clock time to get an hour of
productive time. This is not a good way to manage yourself in relation to time.
And one more helpful thing - if you are spending time at the laundromat, bring your psychology notes to study. If you are waiting in line for tickets to the REM concert, bring your biology flashcards to memorize.
These are some ideas to get you started. Most students think that success in studying is to do with how brilliantly clever and original they are; you’ll be surprised to discover that one of the central challenges of adult life is time management. Get a headstart and learn how to manage yourself in respect to … time NOW.
