Summary

This activity is designed to improve sentence accuracy and complexity. Most students can produce the key content words in a sentence. However, they have difficulty with accuracy because the functional words are difficult or can seem unimportant. This activity will help learners eliminate problems with these functional words by giving them immediate feedback on the mistakes they are making. It will also help students develop their use of more natural, varied and complex sentence structures.

TIP: Say the sentence out loud. Notice the types of mistake you make often. Focus on those types of errors. (singular/plural, subject-verb agreement, article use, prepositions, gerunds and infinitives, noun clauses, adjective clauses, word order, and word forms.)

Resumen

Esta actividad está diseñada para mejorar la precisión y complejidad de las oraciones. La mayoría de los estudiantes pueden producir las palabras clave del contenido en una oración. Sin embargo, tienen dificultades con la precisión porque las palabras funcionales son difíciles o pueden parecer poco importantes. Esta actividad ayudará a los alumnos a eliminar problemas con estas palabras funcionales al brindarles retroalimentación inmediata sobre los errores que están cometiendo. También ayudará a los estudiantes a desarrollar su uso de estructuras de oraciones más naturales, variadas y complejas.

CONSEJO: Diga la oración en voz alta. Observe los tipos de errores que comete con frecuencia. Concéntrese en ese tipo de errores. (singular / plural, concordancia entre sujeto y verbo, uso del artículo, preposiciones, gerundios e infinitivos, cláusulas sustantivas, cláusulas adjetivas, orden de las palabras y formas de las palabras).

요약

이 액티비티는 문장의 정확성과 복잡성을 개선하기 위해 고안되었습니다. 대부분의 학생들은 문장에서 핵심 내용 단어를 생성 할 수 있습니다. 그러나 기능적 단어가 어렵거나 중요하지 않은 것처럼 보일 수 있기 때문에 정확성에 어려움이 있습니다. 이 액티비티는 학습자가 실수에 대한 즉각적인 피드백을 제공함으로써 이러한 기능적 단어의 문제를 제거하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 또한 학생들이 보다 자연스럽고 다양하며 복잡한 문장 구조를 사용하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

팁 : 문장을 크게 말하세요. 자주 저지르는 실수 유형과, 이러한 유형의 오류에 집중하세요. (단수 / 복수, 주어-동사 일치, 관사 사용, 전치사, 동명사 및 부정사, 명사절, 형용사절, 어순 및 단어 형태)

Option A

Mateo: Let me get this straight. The Diab Sensor needs storing (to be stored) at around 5° centigrade?

Beata: Yes, it must be refrigerated. Otherwise, it's unsafe.

Mateo: Sorry, but I disagree. Our storage team say there's no problem storing it at room temperature.

Beata: That may be the case, but...

Mateo: Beata, I like you. You're good at what you do. I just don't think you quite understand. Regulations are different here in Brazil.

Beata: I understand, really. Nonetheless, perhaps we can talk about...

Mateo: You don't have to worry about all those EU rules. We have our own safety regulations, and we are very strict about them. We can store this product, no problem. Would you like to see the certificates?

Beata: We really appreciate all the work you're doing, but unfortunately...

Mateo: I've told you, Beata. The plan is to launch the Diab Sensor as soon as possible. Do you have any idea how much pressure that puts me under? We carried out a successful campaign at our diabetes clinic last week. My team has received all the necessary training. Look, I can assure you we are all excited about this new product. It's going to change lives.

Beata: It's great that you've already done so much to promote the product. I'm sure Daniel is going to really appreciate this.

Mateo: So am I. Very sure. Daniel and I have always worked very well together. I will even speak to him myself and explain the situation. How does that sound?

Beata: Sounds good. I'll get him to call you.



Option B

Mateo: Let me get this straight. The Diab Sensor needs to be stored at around 5° centigrade?

Beata: Yes, it must be refrigerated. Otherwise, it's unsafe.

Mateo: Sorry, but I disagree. Our storage team says there's no problem storing it at room temperature.

Beata: As I explained, Mateo, it's a question of safety. The product must be refrigerated. If we store it at room temperature, we can no longer guarantee that it will be safe.

Mateo: Beata, I like you. You're good at what you do. I just don't think you quite understand. Regulations are different here in Brazil.

Beata: I can assure you...

Mateo: You don't need to worry about all those EU rules. We have our own safety regulations, and we are very strict about them. We can store this product, no problem.

Beata: Yes, but unfortunately...

Mateo: We are under a lot of pressure. Some of us more than most.

Beata: Please. If I could just finish my point.

Mateo: The plan is to launch the Diab Sensor as soon as possible. My team has received all the necessary training. Look, I can assure you we are all excited about this new product. It's going to change lives.

Beata: And I can assure you, the product needs to be refrigerated. I want you to understand, Mateo. This is a question of patient safety.

Mateo: And as I said earlier, I disagree. Storage is not a problem. We have the capacity, the staffing. Everything is in place. No cause for concern.

Beata: I understand that this is difficult for you, and you've already done so much to help promote the product. But my position is clear. We can't go ahead with the delivery unless the necessary storage measures are in place.

Mateo: Fine, let's see what Daniel has to say, shall we?

Beata: I have no doubt that Daniel will say the same thing. I'm sure we want the same outcome, Mateo. But either you find a compromise, or I can't approve the delivery.

Mateo: You're being difficult, Beata. I don't like it. To be frank, I'm not sure I can work with you. Okay, I'm going to speak to Daniel. You've left me no other choice.

Beata: I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm not comfortable agreeing to the delivery without the correct storage measures in place. If you want to speak to Daniel, fine. I'll ask him to call you.



Reflection A: Not the outcome I wanted, but at least Matel seemed pleased. He'd rather speak to Daniel than me. That's pretty clear. I was able to keep things professional even if I'm starting to think mat doesn't respect me at all.

Reflection B: Well, he's not happy and neither am I. Still, what can I do? We can't compromise on safety. And I know for a fact Daniel is going to say the same thing. I just hope he's not annoyed with the way I handled this.
