Listening analysis class recap

Hello all,

Another very productive class today where we looked at some interesting discussion issues (such as online Doctors), heard about an excellent engaging presentation from a UWS employee and analysed Jamie Oliver's presentation.

We looked at questions 2-5 today in class and I have given you some sample answers. There are many ways to analyse an oral presentation using evaluative and analytical techniques, right?

In the sample answers I have included a summary which is bullet-pointed. You don't have to do the summary at home, I haven't set homework, but if you do, you could cross-check against my thoughts. But having the sample answers should be very helpful for you.

I was having a quick chat with Simbi and Clare before they both left tonight and we ended up talking about GPs and associated issues.

I was telling them about my mum who must have strong genes as she is 86 this year, on no medication, in great health, and attributes this to two things: porridge every morning and gin and tonic (not at breakfast!)

We call her the Duchess for a laugh and here she is, wishing you all the best.

Cheers and have a great weekend!

  1. Mark, I am blessed to work with elderly adults and over the years I've had some great tips for a long,happy life. Apparently a good marriage where you laugh together everyday contributes to a long life as does a cup of tepid water with lemon in it at breakfast. I'm hoping I've mastered the first one as I hate lemons. Lovely pictures and your mum looks a picture of health.

    1. Great feedback as always, thank you. I’ll be sure to tell her that. In fact I’ll show her when she comes through over the Easter break. It may not be scientific in the real sense, but at least you all now know her secret!

  2. I'm here just to comment on how your mum looks great. She looks as someone who enjoys her life. She has a fine son in you and hope you are following her tips on how to live long( maybe switch the gin with wine).you owe her a bottle of gin for passing on her genes to you!! Thanks for sharing her lovely pictures with us!

    1. Simbi, what a lovely thing to say, in fact lots of lovely things! Yes, she’s full oh beans and energy and was a double Gold medal winner in the Mod back in the day. Now and again I persuade her to sing a few bars here and there. Yes, I swap the gin for the grape and it all works out well! Just yesterday I was plotting our bars and restaurants for when she comes to stay for a few days over Easter, ha ha. I shall most definitely show her your comments when I see her, that’s kind of you.
