  • Daniel:
    So, take me through the main issues. How can I put Mateo's mind at ease?
  • Beata:
    He won't follow our recommendations and refrigerate the sensors. I was very clear: if there's no safe storage, there's no guarantee he'll get the product.


    He didn't like that. He kept saying I was over-cautious.
  • Daniel:
    And that's how you left it?

    Pretty much, yes.
  • Daniel:
    Strange. I wonder if something else is going on. Does he have other possible suppliers, perhaps? Or, does he have budget issues?
  • Beata:
    There's one thing I did notice. All of the refrigerators were really full at Mateo's facility. Maybe he just had a big delivery.
  • Daniel:
    Or maybe they have a shortage of refrigerators and no money to buy new ones. Only one way to find out.
  • Mateo:
    Hello?

    Hi Mateo. It's Daniel. How are things?

    Daniel, nice to hear from you. All good here, thank you.

    Everything is fine overall, but those small things you mentioned. Maybe, some of them aren't so small after all.

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).

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)
