Irene Loves the Net - Online Dictaction (English Club)

Hi!

In today's Internet resources section, I bring you some online dictations.

En la sección de recursos de internet de hoy, os traigo dictados online.

Dictations are an excellent tool to improve your English, both your spelling and understanding. Why should you practice them?

Los dictados son una herramienta excelente para mejorar vuestro inglés, tanto la ortografía como la comprensión. ¿Por qué deberíais practicarlos?

• Dictation makes you aware of your comprehension problems: phonological, grammatical, or both. Some typical mistakes include the omission of the final -s or the final -ed.
• El dictado te hace consciente de tus problemas de comprensión: fonológica, gramatical o ambos. Algunos errores típicos incluyen la omisión de la -s o la -ed final.
• Dictation can help develop all four language skills in an integrative way.
• El dictado puede ayudar a desarrollar las cuatro habilidades lingüísticas de manera integradora.
• In the case of the provided dictations, you can self-correct them. They are a great way to study English independently.
• En el caso de los dictados de esta web, puedes autocorregirlos. Son una manera genial de estudiar inglés autónomamente. 

The website English Club has an entire section devoted to dictations. They are divided into three different levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced.

La página web English club tiene una sección entera dedicada a los dictados. Están divididos en tres niveles: elemental, intermedio y avanzado. 

Depending on the level, you'll have different categories to select from: numbers and letters, questions, short conversations, etc. 

Dependiendo del nivel, tendrás diferentes categorías entre las que elegir: números y letras, preguntas, conversaciones cortas, etc.

Once you choose your dictation, you should follow this steps:

Una vez que elijas tu dictado, deberías seguir los siguientes pasos:

1. Listen at normal speed. Do not write. This is important because it gives you a general idea of what you are about to write.
1. Escucha a velocidad normal. No escribas. Esto es importante porque te da una idea general de lo que estás a punto de escribir. 
2. Listen to it again at slow speed and write what you hear. You can repeat this step a couple of times.
2. Escúchalo otra vez a velocidad lenta y escribe lo que oigas. Puedes repetir este paso un par de vez.3. Listen again at normal speed. Check if you missed something.

3. Escucha otra vez a velocidad normal. Comprueba si te has dejado algo.4. Press show the answer and correct what you wrote.

4. Dale a mostrar la respuesta y corrige lo que has escrito.

They speak in General American, so it's a good opportunity to get used to different accents.

Hablan en inglés americano (bastante neutro), así que es una buena oportunidad para acostumbrarse a acentos diferentes.

3. Beyond the text

What's the meaning of the phrase 'The emperor's new clothes'?

From https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-emperors-new-clothes.html

It is used in contexts where people are widely acclaimed and admired but where others question whether what they have created is of any value.

The phrase bears some similarity to another modern-day expression - the elephant in the room. An essential factor with both phrases is the willingness of people to engage into an unspoken contract to willfully disbelieve what they know to be true.

Exercise: Explain a situation in which you could you this expression.

An example: Something widely accepted as true as some decision taken for some CEOs. 
So many people believe in his words and follow him like the 
emperor´s new clothes.

5:43

When we look to the past, it's easy to see that emotions have changed, sometimes very dramatically, in response to new cultural expectations and religious beliefs, new ideas about gender, ethnicity and age, even in response to new political and economic ideologies. There is a historicity to emotions that we are only recently starting to understand. So I agree absolutely that it does us good to learn new words for emotions, but I think we need to go further. I think to be truly emotionally intelligent, we need to understand where those words have come from, and what ideas about how we ought to live and behave they are smuggling along with them.
