My goals, challenges and expectations for Language 2 (AUDIO)

ORIGINAL SCRIP!
I’m starting my second semester in this career and when I read my self-assessment again I found several expectations and goals that I’d like to accomplish in this new semester.

Going back to the end of my first semester. I think my performance wasn’t bad but it wasn’t up to what I’m capable of. I had two weak points (Phonetics and Use of English) which unfortunately for me were the most valuable ones and I had to take the exams lol

When I was on my way to the university after a good vacation, I was very scared, but also very curious to know what was to come in this new semester, I thought about many things on the way there and I came to the conclusion that I have many things to accomplish and they are divided into the academic, professional and personal aspects.

Talking about academics, in my previous semester I had a lot of complications as I realized I wasn’t prepared enough as I thought I was, I also struggled with some subjects that I’m still reinforcing. For this new semester I want to be able to improve my study techniques as well as being more determined when it comes to studying or doing assignments. At the same time, I also want to be able to make my doubts known to my teachers and not remain silent for fear of making mistakes.

In professional terms, one of my biggest goals and a big challenge for this semester is to improve my inner vision as a teacher, I think I still have a lot to learn from it and acquire a lot of knowledge in order to build a good identity as a teacher in training.

On a personal level, in this new semester I want to be able to trust myself more, last semester I went through many problems based on this because I don’t trust my abilities as much as I should be, because I know more than I think I do and even though I didn’t have an excellent result I was also surprised with myself. Speaking helped me a lot to improve my self-confidence a little bit and Phonetics also helped me a lot to improve my pronunciation, with this I hope that this semester I’ll continue increasing my self-confidence and I’ll be able to prove to my teachers and to myself that I’m capable of doing it.

Finally, I always have this phrase very present in my day to day “Believe in yourself and try, only then you will know what you are capable of” with this I really hope that all the goals, projects and challenges that I’ve in mind throughout my career will be fulfilled and I’ll be able to become an excellent English teacher.

SCRIPTHello stranger!
Khalid:Hello, stranger!
Helen:Ooh, hi Khalid! How are you? It’s been ages, hasn’t it?
KhalidI know! I haven’t seen you since the barbecue.
Helen:Oh yeah, the barbecue. It was a smashing day wasn’t it? But poor Alice was really ill the next day.
Khalid:Was she?
Helen:She had to go to the doctors. But she’s as right as rain now. Anyway Khalid, what’s happening with you?
Khalid:Well, I’ve just enrolled on a part-time course here at the university, and I’m still a student at the language school!
Helen:Wow! So you’re studying hard?
Khalid:Of course! But it’s not easily to study at home. My flatmates are really rowdy and I can never get any peace and quiet.
Helen:Hmm… I might be able to help you with that.

My goals, challenges and expectations for Language 2

Hello to whoever is reading this:)

I’m starting my second semester in this career and when I read my self-assessment again I found several expectations and goals that I’d like to accomplish in this new semester.

Going back to the end of my first semester, which didn’t leave me with very good experiences at all. I think my performance wasn’t bad but it wasn’t up to what I’m capable of. I had two weak points (Phonetics and Use of English) which unfortunately for me were the most valuable ones and I had to take the exams lol (I think this information is important for the rest).

When I was on my way to the university after a good vacation, I was very scared, but also very curious to know what was to come in this new semester, I thought about many things on the way there and I came to the conclusion that I have many things to accomplish and they are divided into the academic, professional and personal spheres.

Talking about academics, in my previous semester I had a lot of complications as I realized I wasn’t prepared enough as I thought I was, I also struggled with some subjects that I’m still reinforcing. For this new semester I want to be able to improve my study method as well as being more determined when it comes to studying/doing assignments. At the same time, I also want to be able to make my doubts known to my teachers and not remain silent for fear of making mistakes.

In professional terms, one of my biggest goals and a big challenge for this semester is to improve my inner vision as a teacher, I think I still have a lot to learn from it and acquire a lot of knowledge in order to build a good identity as a teacher in training.

On a personal level, in this new semester I want to be able to trust myself more, last semester I went through many problems based on this, I don’t trust my abilities as much as I should be, because I know more than I think I do and even though I didn’t have an excellent result I was also surprised with myself. Speaking helped me a lot to improve my self-confidence a little bit, Phonetics also helped me a lot to improve my pronunciation, with this I hope that this semester I’ll continue increasing my self-confidence and I’ll be able to prove to my teachers and to myself that I’m capable of doing it.

Finally, I always have this phrase very present in my day to day “Believe in yourself and try, only then you’ll know what you’re capable of” with this I really hope that all the goals, projects and challenges that I’ve in mind throughout my career will be fulfilled and I’ll be able to become an excellent English teacher.

AUDIO UPLOAD 8 – “The flatmates”: Episode 75 – Paul’s explanation

Javiera Farías as Alice / Eduardo Zamora as Paul
Javiera Farías as Paul / Eduardo Zamora as Alice
SCRIPT– PAUL’S EXPLANATION
Alice:Hello?
Paul:Alice, it’s Paul. Don’t hang up, Alice. Just give me two minutes of your time, that’s all I ask.
Alice:Ok Paul, but we haven’t got much to talk about. You’re married with two kids, end of story.
Paul:Alice, it’s over between Lucy and me. It’s been over for a long time.
Alice:Paul, I heard you talking to her on the phone. You were telling her you loved her.
Paul:No, Alice, you’ve got it all wrong. I was talking to my daughter, not my wife. I used to love my wife, of course, but that ended very abruptly when I came home from work, and she calmly announced that she had fallen in love with someone else. So that was it, finished. I moved out the same day.
Alice:Oh Paul.
Paul:Alice, it’s you I love.
