Listening Comprehension Skills: Practice Bottom-Up Listening Strategies transcript

foreign skills through practice with your instructor Professor University so let's listen to this weather forecast video from WPTV and used to practice better map listening strategies well let's talk gosh a little weather it's kind of a drip drip this morning before that faucet just turns on before the drop drop right yes uh it's it's going to be stormy this afternoon so Ashley in Holiday we have to talk about what the impacts are are because we do have the severe threat right so let's go ahead and focus on these uh thunderstorm impacts so any thunderstorm of course can produces lightning but for today it is a high level which means there's going to be a lot of lightning out there so watch out for that also flood threat in the orange that also includes so the wind gusts and hail so flooding wind hail also moderate between a higher level of moderate a chance for that today now the tornado is not the highest threat but I'm not going to rule out the fact that we could have an isolate related tornado or funnel cloud or even water spouts out there again that severe threat is marginal which marginal is the lower tier of the levels that the Storm Prediction Center puts out what it means is that there's a isolated chance for severe storms today now with that said we'll still have General widespread thunderstorms and look at these rainfall totals by 8 o'clock today this evening week pick up anywhere between one to two inches of rainfall there's a bullseye near Indian Town of just over two inches of rain and then we'll add to that tomorrow as well which by the way tomorrow the rain gets started early it has to do with a lot of things we're dealing with two different fronts that are basically stalled across the South and Southeast and then also this area this huge area of clouds you see there on satellite well that is associated with a mid-level low a trough of low pressure that is going to bring us this unstable air mass so out ahead of the we're going to have those scattered thunderstorms developing today severe possible and tomorrow again there's a chance for severe storms but as this low passes over Florida tomorrow morning that's why we could be seeing those uh showers pop up as early as then so here's a look for today we're expecting first of all temperatures to stay in the low 80s because of the rain the storms starting around two o'clock really we could see a few isolated along the coast as early as noon time but then it will continue throughout the rest of the evening becoming more widespread Tuesday morning we'll watch out for rain and storms and then another round in the afternoon rain chance goes down only slightly by the end of the week as temperatures go up into the upper 80s after listening to this video so this is an exercise that an activity that we gonna give you so match the pictures that are here with the words be allowed you have rainy windy thunderstorm dry overcast sunny and weather forecast so just it's going to exercise the matching answer also the questions below after listening to the weather forecast in the previous value how is it going to be this afternoon here you have the answer because we train you to use these strategies to capture the meanings this is why you have here the answers but in the activities that will be delivered for you in the session activities things will be different you will do the job yourself second question what can happen during a fan dust or question how is the lightning going to be this afternoon now the question what do we call it when the water from the river overflows what is the name of frozen rain what will happen to the rain tomorrow what is the huge area of clouds associated with and the last question is how is the weather going to be by the end of the week another activity based on two parts questions can help you to train yourself to make some practice on this type of strategies that lightning is going to be on low level flooding and wind or going to be on a moderate level that the forecast says that that will be hail today there there will be no to notice the rain will start early tomorrow the clouds are associated with the mid-level low pressure there will be a chance of severe storms tomorrow so you have to be careful here what is important is the jargon the register is specific to forecast and when you focus your listing on these points to get the answers so you have to focus on the main words and vocabulary relevant to forecasts also you have to practice this type of strategies with tongue twisters watch this value then listen to me afterwards Betty botter bought some butter but she said the Butter's bitter if I put it in my batter it will make my batter bitter but a bit of better butter will make my batter better so she bought a bit of butter better than her bitter butter and she put it in her batter and the batter was not bitter so it was better Betty bought her bought a bit of better butter belly butter but some batter but she said the bad is bitter if I put it in my batter it will make my batter bitter but a bit a bit better will make my batter better so here in this uh type of exercises and activities you can have many uh tasks the task is uh to identify two syllable pattern better with a better with a better and bitter bitter with B with a range vowels in the first red syllable also you can also test your abilities in terms of listening the difficulty is uh in clearly and consistently distinguishing all the vowels it's very difficult here when you listen to uh the original version in the the value so it's very difficult to distinguish all the vowels for example very better the first batter is with but some batter so here there's another in the second batter there is another vowel which is ah so butter the first is O and the last one is the V upside down what we call the upside down is better so but she said the batters the Batters with the upside down the batter is beta is bitter in American English if I put it in my batter with air the what we call in phonetics the air of bed better it will make my better bitter my better bitter with e short e here so you have to threaten yourself on the realization of the E here it's not beta because when you change the vowel in English so you will get another meaning so here it's bitter it's not beta it's bitter better bit or better better will make my better better the the second part that you gonna listen to in the video I will not practice it she will do it for yourself so there is an identification we work on the identification along vowel that is only one long vowel which is but in American English and in Connected speech so but a but a becomes a for example a batter so but I better it becomes but and the a to realize it as barrer bar bar okay let's do some practice with non-light versions here is a non-light verse so try to make some applications of all the strategies that we have taught you along this port to realize this non-like version the non-light verse is a verse set for pedagogic reason it means that to make you a realized Rhythm or to identify stress and threat syllables or to test your rate of delivery so on and so forth so but when we apply these strategies we start from the button to up the real version is from up to down but we try to reverse it here so let's start from the bottom to move to the the app so this is the former so in this corner that on the that crowd in the morning that wakes the police uh she even insurance that married the man of chattan tour that kiss the main floor that makes the cow with comfortable that touch the dog that kick the care that way the rather either more that lay in the house jack built so let's do it now from the opposite way so this is the house that Jack we start with this one this is the house the Jack builds this is the more that lay in the house that Jack be on this is the red and the more that lay in the house that Jack built this is the cat that will the red is the more that lay in the house the Jack build this is the dog that kicked the cat that what is the rather eat the more that lady of the heart is a jack bill this is the car with the crumpled hole that touch the dog that kick the cat with the rather eat the more that lay in the house the Jack built this is the maiden awful lot that makes the car with a crumpled horn that ties the deck they kicks the cat that way the weather even more that lay in the house is Jack built this is the man I'll shaving Shore that kiss the maiden or floor that makes the car with crumple horn that tells the dad that is a care that would rather eat them all the lay in the house that Jack build this is the man order that because the main awful lot that makes the car with the carpool that wearing the right that ate The Malt that lay in the house of Jack built we have repeated it on purpose then this is the prison she even ensure that made the man estimated offload that makes the cow with crumpled Hornets where they rather animal that lay in the house that Jack builds and then you will have this is the um foreign turn that kisses the main Open Lord that make the cow with her that turns it down against the cat not only the red that ate the mold that lay in the house that Jack built so in these types of activities so you have to make a lot of practice to realize it in appropriate way so and then you may practice hair stress and stretch syllables that we look for threat syllables so you have to identify monosyllabic I.E the words that contains only one syllable you look for two syllable word cells here the stress varies in English in this pattern so you make practice according to the purposes of listening what is your purpose so you can make some practice identifying stress and as residuals you can try yourself on rhythm for intonation pattern also for the rates of delivery either so here it is based this type of verses maybe this verse is dedicated rather for the rate of delivery speed rate of delivery thank you for your attention see you in the upcoming video [Music]
