1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.740
all right we're going to look at a high

2
00:00:01.740 --> 00:00:04.799
scoring example of question four and

3
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.560
this sample brings up an interesting

4
00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:10.800
question which is do you need to have a

5
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.440
certain accent when you speak how do you

6
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:15.900
know if your accent is too strong how do

7
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:17.940
you know if pronunciation is something

8
00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:20.220
that you might have to work on so we're

9
00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:21.420
going to talk about that together

10
00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:24.180
through this example and I think you

11
00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:25.500
might find some of the answers

12
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:28.800
surprising I'm also going to show you at

13
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.960
the towards in a couple minutes I'm

14
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:32.700
going to show you some activities to do

15
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:36.300
to work on pronunciation and accent if

16
00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:38.940
that's an issue for you so we're looking

17
00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:41.700
at an example from question four this is

18
00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.340
an example where the listening talks

19
00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:47.280
about preserving Museum artifacts I'm

20
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.659
going to put a link in the description

21
00:00:48.659 --> 00:00:50.820
to the question you can check it out

22
00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:52.559
we're not going to listen to it here

23
00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:54.660
we're going to focus just on the sample

24
00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:56.879
answer and we're going to focus on the

25
00:00:56.879 --> 00:00:59.879
delivery how the student speaks and if

26
00:00:59.879 --> 00:01:02.820
it's something that is a problem well

27
00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:04.799
let's see here we go the lecture

28
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.438
discusses how archaeological artifacts

29
00:01:07.438 --> 00:01:08.700
are preserved in order to store the

30
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.040
deviation the first method is

31
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.720
maintaining a stable temperature every

32
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:14.459
day because sudden changes in

33
00:01:14.459 --> 00:01:16.080
temperature can be more dangerous than

34
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:17.880
no climate control at all

35
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:20.100
objects made from organic materials such

36
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:23.040
as paper leather and wood dry out if

37
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.140
there's a certain temperature change and

38
00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:27.080
so in the event of a loss of power

39
00:01:27.080 --> 00:01:29.459
museums have backup our sources to

40
00:01:29.459 --> 00:01:31.020
maintain temperature

41
00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:32.938
the second method of preservation is

42
00:01:32.938 --> 00:01:34.920
maintaining relative humidity which is

43
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.780
the amount of moisture in air

44
00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:39.420
with metals they can corrode or develop

45
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:42.420
mold if humidity levels fluctuate

46
00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:45.060
materials such as paper and Daddo can

47
00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:47.100
become brittle or fragile in case of low

48
00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:50.100
humidity and so museums often have

49
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:51.479
different levels of humidity for

50
00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:53.159
different collections

51
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.799
museums also have sensors to Monitor and

52
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.200
adjust levels of humidity

53
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.799
thus we say the two ways in which

54
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.880
archaeological artifacts are preserved

55
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:05.399
in museums so the AI herd in New Zealand

56
00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:08.459
instead of in museums it should say but

57
00:02:08.459 --> 00:02:10.200
that's her whole response

58
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:13.020
it's everything written out and let's

59
00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:15.900
see how she did if you put the example

60
00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:18.360
into my speaking score and this website

61
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.459
uses the speech rater software you can

62
00:02:20.459 --> 00:02:22.340
use it as well check it out

63
00:02:22.340 --> 00:02:25.500
myspeakingscore.com they don't have a

64
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:28.739
pronunciation score the closest thing

65
00:02:28.739 --> 00:02:31.919
they have is a vowel score and she

66
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.459
scored a 99 out of 100. so in other

67
00:02:35.459 --> 00:02:36.840
words the short answer is your

68
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.940
pronunciation as long as it's

69
00:02:38.940 --> 00:02:41.040
intelligible as long as it's understood

70
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:43.980
doesn't really have an impact on your

71
00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:47.280
score and so she did really well you

72
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.319
might have some TR depending on where

73
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:50.879
you're from and your experience you

74
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.099
might have had some trouble

75
00:02:52.099 --> 00:02:54.660
understanding what she's saying but I

76
00:02:54.660 --> 00:02:56.099
could understand everything she's saying

77
00:02:56.099 --> 00:02:58.139
her vocabulary and grammar are very

78
00:02:58.139 --> 00:03:00.959
strong she's confident and clearly she's

79
00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:02.459
been speaking English for a while and

80
00:03:02.459 --> 00:03:04.620
she's at a very high level so she'll

81
00:03:04.620 --> 00:03:06.000
score very well

82
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.700
but one of the most common problems with

83
00:03:08.700 --> 00:03:11.400
pronunciation is syllable stress now

84
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.519
this is where pronunciation becomes an

85
00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:17.700
issue so when you pronounce the wrong

86
00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:21.900
syllables in multi-syllabic words that's

87
00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:23.940
when you might get a lower score for

88
00:03:23.940 --> 00:03:25.560
pronunciation and let me show you what

89
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.239
I'm talking about here

90
00:03:27.239 --> 00:03:29.840
so in her response she had words like

91
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.400
preserved declaration temperature

92
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.580
dangerous these are longer words and

93
00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:37.800
these are words that you will use more

94
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.680
in questions three and four when you're

95
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.500
talking about academic stuff academic

96
00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:47.120
vocabulary the words are longer now

97
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.980
she's probably from South Asia probably

98
00:03:49.980 --> 00:03:52.319
from India so she doesn't have this

99
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.840
issue as badly as somebody who may be

100
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.780
from Europe might have more of a trouble

101
00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:00.360
with this because they put the stress on

102
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.299
the wrong syllable and because they put

103
00:04:03.299 --> 00:04:05.760
the stress on the wrong syllable it's

104
00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:07.340
hard to understand

105
00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:10.200
what the person's saying and I'll show

106
00:04:10.200 --> 00:04:12.120
you some examples of this

107
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.700
so these are the multi-syllable syllabic

108
00:04:14.700 --> 00:04:15.480
words

109
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:18.720
and the part in red is what should be

110
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.860
stressed so declaration declaration

111
00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:24.600
declaration uh you might hear somebody

112
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.320
say declaration declaration

113
00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:29.940
temperature temperature temperature

114
00:04:29.940 --> 00:04:32.060
temperature temperature temperature

115
00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:35.160
temp Furniture so you you hear how when

116
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:36.860
I put the temperature

117
00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:40.199
it it's harder to understand temperature

118
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.919
temperature temperature

119
00:04:43.880 --> 00:04:49.040
or dangerous dangerous dangerous

120
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.380
dangerous dangerous

121
00:04:52.380 --> 00:04:54.060
I'm not trying to impersonate anybody

122
00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:55.560
just putting the stress in the wrong

123
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:57.660
place here so when you have the stress

124
00:04:57.660 --> 00:04:59.880
in the wrong place it's harder to

125
00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:02.580
understand and a lot of software a lot

126
00:05:02.580 --> 00:05:05.040
of artificial intelligence can hear that

127
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.020
they can hear when you put the stress in

128
00:05:07.020 --> 00:05:08.460
the wrong place

129
00:05:08.460 --> 00:05:10.560
and so that's part of your score I'm

130
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:11.639
going to show you an example of a

131
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.460
student who got a rhythm score of 18 out

132
00:05:14.460 --> 00:05:18.180
of 100 rhythm is syllable stress if you

133
00:05:18.180 --> 00:05:20.460
put the stress in the right word when

134
00:05:20.460 --> 00:05:23.339
it's a longer word this student here

135
00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:25.080
oh before I get to this student's

136
00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:26.539
example let me shout out

137
00:05:26.539 --> 00:05:29.279
speakerenglish.com I do it every video

138
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.380
but I have to shout it out because

139
00:05:31.380 --> 00:05:33.779
I really believe that this is the best

140
00:05:33.779 --> 00:05:36.180
way to improve your speaking it's a

141
00:05:36.180 --> 00:05:38.220
30-day study plan you get up to 90 days

142
00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:40.139
but guaranteed to improve your score in

143
00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:42.900
30 days you have nothing to lose just 15

144
00:05:42.900 --> 00:05:45.360
minutes a day of practice and a

145
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.820
community teachers like me there to help

146
00:05:47.820 --> 00:05:50.940
you check it out speakerenglish.com but

147
00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:52.560
I want to show I'm excited to show the

148
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.139
student example here because I think

149
00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.000
you'll understand what I mean when you

150
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.919
hear it

151
00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:02.779
so according to the lecture lecture

152
00:06:02.779 --> 00:06:07.800
lecture lecture lecture lecture lecture

153
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.600
lecture

154
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.220
you hear the difference of what how

155
00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:12.779
she's saying it and how I'm saying it

156
00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:14.880
it's just you know it's just the stress

157
00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:16.500
is in the wrong place and then that kind

158
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:19.279
of messes up everything

159
00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:22.620
and

160
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.199
the fact that was good did you read the

161
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.520
deterioration is inevitable that's why a

162
00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:32.580
museum preserves so inevitable was a

163
00:06:32.580 --> 00:06:35.039
good example inevitable inevitable

164
00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:39.180
inevitable even inevitable so maybe like

165
00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:41.039
at the end of the bowl she probably

166
00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:43.259
she'd stressed that too strongly so

167
00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:45.120
she's got to practice that she's got to

168
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.580
practice pronouncing these words

169
00:06:47.580 --> 00:06:49.500
with the right stress in the right way

170
00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:51.900
so that's what she has to do she's got

171
00:06:51.900 --> 00:06:54.479
to look at where the stress is and

172
00:06:54.479 --> 00:06:56.100
practice that now how should she do that

173
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:58.199
how should she practice that she should

174
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.319
look at her transcript take the words

175
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.360
that have more syllables declaration

176
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.900
temperature dangerous and practice

177
00:07:05.900 --> 00:07:08.940
pronouncing them in something like a

178
00:07:08.940 --> 00:07:11.039
Google doc so I'll show you an example

179
00:07:11.039 --> 00:07:13.440
right now okay so let's pretend this is

180
00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.539
the student's response here this and she

181
00:07:15.539 --> 00:07:17.039
had some trouble with preserved and

182
00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:20.759
declaration uh I don't know whatever it

183
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.180
says something wrong I so I'm going to

184
00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:29.280
go to tools and go to let's see here

185
00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:31.020
where is it voice typing where's voice

186
00:07:31.020 --> 00:07:32.880
there it is voice typing okay I have

187
00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:35.340
English us and I'm going to just speak

188
00:07:35.340 --> 00:07:38.639
and I'm gonna try to match what I say so

189
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.880
lecture lecture here we go

190
00:07:41.880 --> 00:07:44.280
the lecture discusses how archaeological

191
00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:46.620
artifacts are preserved in order to

192
00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:49.940
store the Declaration

193
00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:54.000
this this word is wrong declaration I'm

194
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.259
not sure what she's trying to say here

195
00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:58.020
but anyway my pronunciation is is

196
00:07:58.020 --> 00:08:00.419
correct so that's what you would do let

197
00:08:00.419 --> 00:08:02.880
me go back to the presentation so you

198
00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:05.160
would go through a Google doc and then

199
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.680
you would practice the pronunciation of

200
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.080
those words but I actually show this in

201
00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:11.940
more detail in this video here so I'm

202
00:08:11.940 --> 00:08:13.680
going to put a link here of this

203
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.840
activity where if you're having trouble

204
00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:18.240
pronouncing certain words it might have

205
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.919
to do with syllable stress you're

206
00:08:19.919 --> 00:08:21.599
putting the stress in the wrong place

207
00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:23.699
and you need to do some practice with

208
00:08:23.699 --> 00:08:25.800
that and a great way to practice that is

209
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.599
voice typing check that video out here

210
00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:29.819
about pronunciation problems

211
00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:32.159
but this student had no problem with her

212
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.620
pronunciation uh the the first response

213
00:08:34.620 --> 00:08:37.380
we heard it was great so unless you're

214
00:08:37.380 --> 00:08:38.700
having some problems with syllable

215
00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:42.659
stress or just in being understood then

216
00:08:42.659 --> 00:08:44.760
your pronunciation should be fine all

217
00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:46.140
right thanks for watching Everybody I'll

218
00:08:46.140 --> 00:08:48.740
see you in the next one
