I'm very good. Thank you. Good. Did you have a good Christmas break? Yes. Good. That's very good. All, let me just remind myself what homework I set you, or is it not going to be on here again? Based on another new class. Hang on a minute. So which one did I set you this homework in? Okay. Complete the writing tasks. Right about a time when you achieved something that was important to you and you're uring. You say what you achieved and why and what it was to achieve it. I'm very. I am very. It's not too good because. When I realized I need to do it, it was the last days, okay? Don't worry, fine, sue said when I first. So is that started? And I first off stand Oh, standard, so it should be stood. Yeah. And I first started on the swipool of my own school. I did not swim because I nearly drowned. Oh dear. I still ate after and did not have any lung injuries. That's good. Many days later, I jumped into the same pool for the swiwing race, and my goggles flew off, flew off into the playground while I plummeted into the water and felt iled. Oh dear, after I entered my house, my mum was a laze. She decides to give me swimming club to send me to swimming club, and I started my first lesson the next day. When I entered the first lesson, I. Could swim very quickly with a float at. The end of the second lesson, I could. Swim quickly without a loat on on the tenth lesson, I could swim backthroat with flippers. Wow, that's very good progress. So the only thing here in Rio is just some of your verbs. Yeah. Remember, you're in the past tense. So rather than saying I can swim, I can swim, I can swim, we should be saying could, could, could because you're talking about this in the past tense, aren't you? Yeah so just need to change that. And don't forget off has got two f's of has got one of off slightly different. Okay. That's good. Where are we today? Let's see. I think we did this sya yms, didn't we? The end of our last lesson. Move on to this objective then. So the next objective is some summarizing skills. So what does it mean to summarize something in Rico? How would you describe that to me? To summarize something is he grew together and her is to blend together and shthen the main ideas of attack of text. Good. Nice. So why is it keep clicking next? Good. Summarizing the main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph in nonfiction text. So we can use the five wand H as well. We can think who, what, where, when and why and how. For example, like who are the main characters? What happened? Where did it take place? When did it take place? How do you know? Why is it important? All of these questions are really helpful and summariising. The main points of a story or an article isn't really about giving the most detail that you possibly give. It's about putting on the most important points, like these five W's. So as we just said, it means picking out the key ideas or themes from a text. In many comprehension tests or exams, you will need to show that you can give an overview of a story, a character, a setting, or a mood. So you might need to kind of show that you can give a short summary of what a particular paragraph or section is about. So this often requires you to use your own words to describe something. You may also need to step back and consider the text as a whole. So when we summarize, try to avoid just copying what has been written. We don't want to copy. We want to be giving in our own words. Really important. So here's some more example questions, like what is your impression of the character? How would you summarize the author's opinion? Explain what happened, those kind of questions. And here are the kind of steps that you'll want to take when you are answering these types of questions. Do you want to read through them for me? One, find more relevant information in the passage to think of synonyms to help you explain something, your own words. Three, identify the important information. If something is repeated in a text, you only need to measure once in a Mary. Four, do not add or change any the information when you summarize, this is an overview, not the continuation of the story. Oh, there's some more amazing ones, too. Five, be assistant. Use as few words as you can without losing the meaning. Six, when you make an observation about setting a character opinion, make it is back up more than one place in the text. Assummary should be an overview rather than the collection of individual comments. For example, a character who is almost or grumpy smell once in the Texas, generally a Gruy character as be sumwhat as such. Number seven and number eight here as well for me. Consider what the character, consider what the character will also say, his and does, and put these actions together in one or two adjectives. For example, a character who skips into room smile while greets everyone engaged in lovely conversation may be summarized as cheerful and friendly. If you are asked to summarize a particular event element of the text, make sure you only address that elfor example. If you are after, summarize the argument in favor of less homework, you should only refer to arguments in favor, not against. Good, okay. Okay, read the following extract and some resources happening in each paragraph. There are six. Okay, we're going to read all six paragraphs. I don't know if we're going to do that at the end. Hang on. All right, okay, so this is just the thing. So we're going to read next that and summarize what is happening in each paragraph. There are six paragraphs and 23 lines in total. So it says this passage is taken from the novel lion boy by zzu Corder. And this book is about a boy called Charlie Ashanti who is able to speak to a cat or speak cat, the language of all wild and domestic cats. This unusual talent helps him on his quest to find his kidnapped parents who have discovered a cure for asthma. The book is set in the future. Hmm, what do you want to say? Can Charlie also speak to lions and tigers? Yeah, it says Wildcats. So Yeah, you must be able to speak to lions and tigers as well, although I'm not sure they want to because they probably try and eat you first, wouldn't they? And of in fact, in China, we call tigers dot ton, which is large bug. Also, I'm not sure why there's a picture of this strange thing in the corner. A chicken Yeah okay, so here's the first extract. Could you read it for me? It was mid afternoon when the great crimson ship came through the electrielectricity farm ranks of ocean whebelels like an army of giant propellers on sticks into harbour alley harbor. Charlie found that he was very glad to see lanagain, although he had hardly the lost missing it as soon as they were, dohe ran down the gameplay onto the a big concrete way, desperate to find the chaism news as he landed his legs horribly. How the, how very solid the ground seemed after his days at sea. Good. Okay. So how would you summarize that paragraph in Rico? 阿。Charlie arrives into. Charles arrives at the harbor and tries to find the carof news. Whoops, this strange for some reason. Yeah good. Basically Charlie arrives at Havre on a ship that would be perfect. Good. Okay. Next one can you read for me there a long boy called the boy voice from the the deck behind him whose major tiyou better get right on board now we don't do surely without leave. Get back in here and have A A coma. There's plenty work to be done. Turning back disappointed to the charges on most particular liar side, a great crane had been waiting for them on the way and they cruise in looking right and way against the sky. I have snow so of leaning towards the ship, where had the entire crew seemed to be going about deck at the feet of what of one of the masts, a huge chain come for the cream and was to realize being attached near the base of the mask. Another chain holding me there. No, it was moving halfway halfway. Another sailor, he. Okay. How are we going to summarize this page then? Was when Holly was called back to the ship, he saw a crying hanging above him. Try notice the cream and some chains. Oh, it means those two paragraphs there. Oh, it's very confusing swinging in the mast. Yet paragraph two also says major tells line b to get to work, which is this one here. Sorry, I wasn't rogood at that. Okay, next one. So we've got two paragraphs here as well. Read them both. First for me early, a crothe seplayers also back and down, as if in a single movement, and the MaaS was roted like a tree in the high wind, or a giant weed in the hand of a silly giant garnet. Whereas the torn pew it had lay in our lay fast, flat, latted, the air hanging on the chains, flying slowly and ponderously towards the crate. What's happening at? Cried Charlie, one of the harvest that he him on the back, shouted the man as ched see the air interdirection whipe box stand box. Good. Okay, so we've got two paragraphs so you need to whoops, and I'm just gonna to show you there's three paragraphs in there odright. You can just just summarize it for me as one or as one. And Rico, I don't know what those answers are talking about. The MaaS was approated me? He asks. Her sailor and they stay away. Yeah, good. Kisinagain sneeze, okay? Yet the MaaS sk breaks off and hanging in the air, Charlie asks what's happening and he's told to stay away, okay? So now we've got a final summary on this extract to do so. We've kind of summarized as we've gone. It's a really good way to do it. No. Well, why this first one is yellow, but. The mind. Okay, so this is your question. Summarize Charlie's opinion about the voyage she just returned from refers to the text in your answer. So you need to give some evidence in your answer about you know to explain why you think he has that opinion. So maybe try and do like a pee. Speaking evidence and explanation. Charlie, you felt. How thrilled you write your answer. And we code on the board for me et. I think this is a, this is not a very good answer. Okay, so he felt thrilled. We actually say that thrilled is quite a positive word. Like Oh, like someone says, Oh, I've thought you in the television, you go, Oh, I'm so thrilled. Thank you so much. It's kind of a positive word. Yeah, good. Also try and think about, can we actually take some of the text and put it in our answer? You know, I think Charlie belthis way, because in the text it says blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, which shows blah, blah, blah, blah, blah or something like that. Obviously not using blah, blah, blah, blah, blah though. I done. Let's have a little look. So we want to say the voyage, what was his opinion about the voyage he just returned from? So the journey that he's just come from, it's not how he's feeling like now, it's his opinion on the journey he's just been on, on the journey. So we've got why is he on the ship? What things about this look. 嗯。He's he's is glad. It's quite difficult, isn't it? He says that he was, he says he was glad to see the land, but then it says he hardly noticed missing it. But then when he gets onto the land, it says his legs jarred horribly. So it's almost like it's very confusing. He's glad to see the land, but then he didn't miss it. And when he is on the land, his legs are kind of, you know, it's a horrible feeling for him. Have a look. And it says, you know, as soon as they were docked, he ran down the gang plant onto the big concrete key, desperate to find a cat with some news. Basically, you can decide either way in Rico. I would say this actually makes it easier. You can either say. He he didn't have a good time because of these red quotes, or you could say he did have a good time because of these purple quotes. You can decide which way you want to go. Yeah just as long as you've got the evidence to back up up what you're saying, then you're fine. Yeah. What did you say? Charlie did not. What? Well, so Enrico, what I'm showing you is it's both ways. You can either say that he didn't enjoy it because he was very glad to see land again, and as soon as they docked, he ran down. Or you can say, Enrico, listen to me rather than writing some still speaking. Or you can say the opposite and say, he did enjoy his voyage because it says he hardly noticed missing the land, and when he got onto land, his legs jarred horribly, like it was a horrible feeling. You can say either doesn't really matter as long as you choose the right evidence to back it up, is all I'm saying. Polly didn't enjoy his voyage because he was very glad to see land again. Yeah, that's fine. That's good. Much better than the first one. So what you can do is kind of word it like this kind of for to move it around so much, just leave it in one place. You know Charlie didn't enjoy his voyage because the text says he was very glad to see land again. So this way you're literally giving a quote from the text as your evidence. Yeah. So you kind of can't they can't say you haven't referred to the text because you actually have a quote. Yeah, good way to do it like that as well. Okay. So the answer says he largely enjoyed it. He hadn't realized that he had missed land until he got back. However, it doesn't mean that your answer is wrong, because like I told you, there's two different opinions there. Youjust have to pick one and give evidence and youget the mark as it. Okay. We've got another extract to read a year five trip to Sussex. So if you could read the first paragraph for me. Last year, last Friday, year five returned town from their four day cross curricua residential trip to Sussex. They're a company, Heby on a trip by Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Miller, with what's through. Mrses wrong, mrses Lester and mrses parrot mrparrot for all agreed that the trip was a huge success. Wednesday were move on, fine weather and the girls host, but an incredibly interesting morning at the marriraexhibition in portmouth following a trip. The spinnaker tower, they had a great time leaving. Around on glass floor, 100m of the air, Mrs. James ones, on the other hand, no how have such a great time due to her vertigue hearts. There of heights. Yeah next bit. What's the next bit? Can you read it? Well, I'll talk to the next page I have. Can you not see this was the one that you just read. This is this one. Next one, since they were more hot weather, and they add well on down an open air museum where the girls donted to the take part in a three and the workand induin the spot of maple dancing. Then they a fantastic afternoon at the beach, rasing sand castles before taking part in a talent show at the hotel on Friday. Hey Hey, the girls park ked their suitcases, check out of the hotel and Raval to park them bor nature reserve. They have fun getting their hands dirty or upon sitting on hunting women bees. By the end of the afternoon, they were moved, tired and looking forward to seeing their families again. But they, Oh, great that they have had a lovely time. I hadn't miss your parents half as much as they expected to. Good. Oh, my God, it's just deleted all of the screenshotting I just did. 嗯。You've got two summarizing questions for in wco. If you could do that, if you could answer these on the board for me. Yeah written up again for me. This one, you need to refer to your text like you did in your last question. Okay. And this one, summarize what is happening in each paragraph. So let's call this one paragraph and two paragraphso. You need a summary for each paragraph. Am I finished? Are you asking me if you're finished? I think so. I'm I think I'm finished. Okay, so we've got the girls went to the Mary Rose exhibition and vnicker tower. Misses Jones did not have a great time due to her fear of heights. Good. The girls experituto life Tudor capital and made sand castleles. The next day they found bugs and went home. Good. The school ptriwas very successful because the tech says the girls all agree with their delivery time. Yeah, that's fine. So what I've done here is I've just helped you with your quotes. Yeah you might want to put this in a quotation mark. You can't really see with the blue on the blue like this. You know, put my my quotation mark has a problem. Yeah. Yeah. I just use a single one. That's what I do. Mine doesn't work. I just use the apostrophhe instead. You either do two apostrophes or just do one. It's fine. As long as you only do one the whole way, then that's fine. That doesn't always have to be two. Doesn't matter. Okay, very good. We've got a few minutes left, so we'll just see if there's a little task we can do on the start of the next lesson. Maybe. I think we should do. What do you think we should do? Lion boy. I said all that. Humble. Let me just see if I can find if I can get like a quick comprehension. Okay. We'll just have a go at one of these at this. So we've got a very small text here. You want to read it for me? Poslowly move towards the basket and his heart pounded in his chest. Today was the day they were bringing her home, pulling her nose out Oh so fast, making up the golden Pucket Pewas so or yeland blink of at him. Is it really okay? Her results today, Ahman, hopefully my, my dad dream Hanot a teacher. Thank you of my own mother. I responded gently. Yes, she's on. So could you summarize? Don't worry about how many words it is because we're not going to write it out. What happened? 啊妈。Are my birheard a new hoppy here? You keep her? Yeah good. And it says what sticks most in your mind about mums reaction. So how does mum react? Moreact friendly and deadly. Yeah very friendly. And you know even holding hands with dad maybe to show that they're sort of thinking of this together. Yeah, very good. Okay, right. I'm just going to say your homework. I don't even know if I've been given any homework on here to give you. Let me have a look. No, so I'll find a summarizing homework to give you. Okay, so you've got a little extract and then some summarizing questions to answer after Enrico. Yes. So remember they're all summarizing questions so you really need to think about you know the main points of the story for all of the questions that you're answering should be on here. Okay, right. Thank you very much. Enrico worked really hard today. Yeah really good reading and writing today. Hope you enjoy your weekend and I'll see you next week. Thank you. Bye.
