      AUTHENTIC LISTENING SKILLS

      Word stress

      In English, words with two or more syllables have the main stress on one of the syllables. Learning the pronunciation of words and where the stress is will help you recognize them when they’re being said.

      1. Read the Authentic listening skills box. Listen to the words from the TED Talk and underline the syllables that are stressed. 
      1. collect
      2. received
      1. girlfriend
      2. stranger
      1. advertisement
      2. memory
      1. instructions
      2. collection

       

      1. Now listen to two extracts from the talk. Notice the stressed syllables in the first extract. Underline the stressed syllables in the second extract. 
      1. Hi, my name is Frank, and I collect secrets. It all started with a crazy idea in November of two thousand and four.
      2. I printed up three thousand self-addressed postcards, just like this. They were blank on one side, and on the other side I listed some simple instructions.

      3. When I need to feel calm, I …
      4. One time I experienced a language barrier when …

       

      1. Frank says that secrets can be shocking or silly or soulful. Write a couple of sentences sharing a silly secret about yourself. Choose something that you don’t mind telling the whole class.

                  I always cry at the end of Stars Wars movies. I try to hide it from my friends and family, but every time 

                 I  watch one, I cry.

      1. Work in groups. Share your answers to Exercise 7.

       

      CRITICAL THINKING Identifying the main idea

      1. Read the Critical thinking box. Then work in pairs. Say what you think the main idea of the talk is.

      Usually a talk contains one main idea, but it isn’t always stated directly. You have to think about how all the parts of the talk work together to create a message.

      1. Read the statements. Which person do you think correctly identifies the talk’s main idea? Why? How are the ones you didn’t choose wrong?
      1. Frank is showing us that we should have secrets that we never tell. Telling too much information about ourselves can cause real problems.
      2. Frank is saying that when we see other people’s secrets, we understand that everyone is human – everyone feels the same feelings. This can help us be kind to ourselves and to other people.
      3. Frank thinks that writing postcards is a good way to share information. He says that people are honest when they send postcards.

       

      1. MY PERSPECTIVE

      Frank talks about the kindness of strangers. Does he think people are generally kind or generally unkind? How do you know? Do you agree with him?

      C H A L L E N G E

      Matty’s website uses the kindness of strangers to help people find lost cameras and photographs. Can you think of other ways that people help strangers? Write down three ideas and share them with a partner.

      People sometimes give directions to strangers who visit their city.
