Did you have a nice weekend? Yes. What did you get up to this weekend? I went to watch. Was it good? I've not seen it yet. I want to go and see it. I've not seen the first one, to be honest. Everyone's talking about it though. And what do you like about Zootopia? I like the new character, the snake. The snake. That's naguess. I've heard there's a snake in it. Oh, that's really nice. Did you go with friends? Did you go with family? Go my friend. You went with your friend. Oh, that sounds like a lovely type. And right, Isabella, today we're gonna to Carry on with our writing piece that we started which was all about too much attention is paid to and too much money is spent on keeping pets while people throughout the world are starving. Yeah so up here we had all of your sort of little sentence starters. You've got your arguments for the statement Yeah to agree and arguments for the statements to disagree. These are all your notes as well. And then we've also got your plan here as well, which was that you were going to talk about this idea of financial cost. And then your second point was also important to people's mental health and emotional well lbeing Yeah so you kind of weren't talking too much about this at all because you only partially agreed. So you were looking much more at sort of these point three. Now the only thing is they're very small. So I just want to see if we can get them a bit bigger for you. Now I don't think I have them any big. That's okay. That's not a big problem. We should be able to see them. So first of all, this is what we've got to so far. The idea that too much attention is paid too, and too much money is spent on keeping pets while people throughout the world are starving is something I partially agree with. I believe that some people would give more attention to money towards pets, but also they might pay money for both if they had a good income. It is evident, however, to see how pets are useful to people for for their mental well lbeing and in creating industry jobs. Firstly, I think the financial cost of pests too high and this money could be used for the homeless of the people that don't have any money to eat because they could die and this could impact people significantly. Okay. So what are we going to continue here, Isabella? What are we going to finish this first point off with? What else are we going to say about this financial cost? Maybe we could use this sentence to help us and get us started. We hold significantly. It's a big problem around the world. Yeah, it is a big problem around and why do you think it's a big problem around the world? Because many people don't have. Don't have. Work. And they don't have. Money don't have income. And what would not having pets then how would that help these people? People can help in. Can like give them money. I forgot the word of. Parity. Yes. So and if we didn't keep pets, we'll be able to give more to charity. And what would giving to charity mean for people around the world? They have a food to eat. Great. Amazing, right? So we can have that in there. I'll write all that up so that we can have that side by side in a minute. Put that there. Okay. So let's now turn to our second point. Now your second point is much more about the idea that you're slightly disagreeing with the statement and that actually you think it's good for emotional well being and creating money for pets and dog walkers and trainers and things like that. Okay, so we want na think about the fact that pets and charities can can coexist or remember, coexistent. They can sit side by side with each other. We can have charity and we can have pets and they can work together. Okay, so we're now going to work on our second paragraph. Isabella. All right. So what I would like us to do, sort of like we do, we've done all the time, we can try and see if we can't write it within a bit of a timer. I'm just gonna na take a little screenshot of this bit just so that I can I can then write that up for us in a moment. Okay, so isabellyou can write on a board, you can write it on a piece of paper, makes no difference. Okay, but I would like you now to write your second point. You've got all of the things you talked about here, okay and we're gonna to be writing that out. So secondly or therefore or however or Furthermore or while there are good owners that are also no so I think either however or secondly would be quite good Yeah or in our modern world pets have become as also a good sentence to use as well. So we've got three of those. Okay all right Isabella do want na grab a pen and piece of paper? Okay, go do that. Once you're ready, we'll put on a little timer for you. Hey okay Isabella we usually put on between 68 minutes so we'll start with six see how far you get on six minutes. Okay as always any sentence starters you want me to think of to help you but I do when he's try and write as much as you can independently Yeah because obviously these exams are coming and I want you to have the opportunity to build that confidence okay but I'm here all if you need to check a word or you want to think about something or you want to read something out loud to see if it sounds alright right then you do that okay but also try and think right if I was in the exam, what would I write? Okay Isabella for six minutes. If you need an extra two after that that's fine. Okay, here we go. Isabella, your time starts now. Yeah, as abellyou need a few more minutes, okay push, can we've put another two on for you two, three? Hey, Isabella, how you doing? That's okay. Just take your time. It's all right. Don't worry. Like I said, the the time is here. So you can see in the exam you want to be going slightly quicker. Yeah but I also want us to get this right. So it's just for us to acknowledge at the moment we've had eight minutes. I'm going to put another two on, okay? Because that's going to bring you all balloons have turned up though, and then it's going to bring you up to ten. All right. So try and see if you can round it off now in the next two minutes. Okay, right, there we go, Isabella. I so amazing. Okay, right, Isabella, what also going to do is I've written up this so we can pull this over. I'm going to pull this up. Okay, there we go, right? So Isabella, what have you got for your next paragraph? Certainly, however, peare also important as people starving, because pets can help people create mental, healthy and emotional welbeing. For example, pets can make the their, their master happy. And making people to move when they are lazy at home. Because. They need to taking care for the pets of the pants. Pets also contribute, creating money for a home, such as vats dog waland. This can all affect helping the ity because. The example of pets also contribute, creating money can help the be more rich and. Then they have. Money to give to the charity. Anything else is about that? That's amazing. Okay, well done, Isabella. So some really good thoughts and ideas in here. I've changed a few bits and which I'm going to talk you through. We want to get away from because because because because all right, so we don't want to have because, because because because because so here you have it here, but then change this one to s Yeah or this one as also okay. Otherwise we end up with because or because this because that this is excellent. This example was perfect. Yeah this was a really really strong this first bit was really strong. This idea of being lazy at home pets get you out. So instead of saying they can also create monies, they can also create money such as so again, instead of because we're using a such as dog walkers and trainers, this can help. We don't want to say all help. This can help the charity as pets also contribute to making making money and then they have money to give to those less fortunate. And this means poor people. It's a fancy way of saying poor people instead of and also instead of master owner. Yeah I want to call them owner because that's what they're called now as they're known as owners. It's rather the master owner. And what it is is all I've done is just changed here at the end because we want to be careful that we don't get this round the wrong way. They can also create money not they can also money for industry, for dogs because you're not buying it for the dogs. They can also create money such as dogs, trainers and walkers. Okay, so this is really good. So we can wrap this up. So now we just need the overall conclusion. Yeah. So we can start this with something like overall, I think because now we've not used because too much in here, so now we can use it in our conclusion. Okay, so overall, I think da, da, da. I agree. I disagree. I partiagree because and realist everything you've talked about. Okay. So your conclusion should take you no more than six minutes. And we want to get that actually down to about five. But it shouldn't be that long. Your conclusion should be three or four sentences. Okay. You are just telling us everything you've already kind of said. You're just putting it into an overall paragraph. Okay. Are you ready? Our last bit of this. Okay, Isabela, time starts now. And I'm going to put that section into your document. I'm finished. Amazing. Okay, Isabella, what do you have? But I have avoid that I don't know how to say okay, okay, well let's let's go get to that word and then we'll see what whether we can figure out. Okay, so what have you got? Isabella? Overall, I think taking care of the Catts and helping the poor people, it's both important because. Poor people and wild pets are the same. They are. Also they are very the word I don't they? Do you mean coexist? What do you want to write it? If you've written it down, Isabella, then you can write it on the board. I didn't written. Okay, so what I would say Isabella, just with the exams coming, don't put a word in that you don't know how to say, you don't know how to spell, you don't know what it is because the trouble is Isabella, it means that you're gonna to need a gap. I'd pick a word that you know what you want to say. So what you're trying to say, why are poor people and pets the same? Because at the moment, I'm not sure they are the same. I think they can live side by side, but I don't think they're the same. They are all very. They didn't didn't anything wrong and they are very Awand. The pets are wild. I say both poor people. So we could say both both poverty both poverty citizens. So it sounds a bit nicer. And pets are the same in that they need caring for and both need to be treated with respect. That might be a nicer way of putting it. Yeah okay. What else have you got? Maybe I can't. Put together on this sentence. Yeah. So anything else to go into here? So overall, I think they can go. The pets and helping poor people is both important because poverty popoverty poverty. Citizens and pets are the same in that they need caring for. And both need to be retreated with respect. So treated with care, treated with kindness, you could say as well. So what could be our last sentence here? Why should we not helping them if we have money? I'd say to do both. Why should we not help them if we have money to do both? Yeah. Isabellperfect, it's exactly what we want. Brilliant. Okay, let's put that into your document. I'll pop that into your document now, and then I'll bring that up and we can have one final read. And I'll check the word count as well on my computer. I think taking care are the pets. In poverty and pets are the same as need caring or, and both need to be treated with kindness, why should. Okay, let me. To right, let me pull this up as our new document. And then iabella, for the last part of our lesson, we're going to practice some of your interview. Go, Isabella. So the idea that too much attention is paid to and too much money is spent on keeping pets while people throughout the world are starving is something that I partially agree with. I believe that some people would give more attention and money towards pets, but also they might pay money for both if they had a good income. It is evident, however, to see how pets are useful to people for their mental well being. That's a spot that wrong when we're typing, being and creating industry jobs. Firstly, firstly, I think the financial cost of pets is too high and this money could be used for the homeless and for people. They don't have any money to eat because they could die and this could impact people significantly. It is a big problem around the world because many people don't have work and they don't have any income. And if we didn't keep, pets would be able to give, we would be able to give more to charity, which would mean that people had food to eat. However, pets are also important as people who are starving are also important as people who are starving. So this doesn't quite make sense as, however, pets are also important. Pets are also as important as people who are starving, because pets can help people create better ways of coping with mental health and emotional wellbeing. For example, pets can make their owner happy and make people move when they are being lazy at home as pets need to be cared for so care for. They can also create money such as dog walkers and trainers. This can help the charity as pets also contribute to making money and then they have money to give to those less fortunate. Overall, I think taking care of the pets and helping poor people is both important because both people who are in poverty and pets are the same as they need caring for and both need to be treated with kindness. Why should we not help them if we have money to do both? Look at that, Isabella. That's fantastic work. What I'm going to do is I'm just gonna to make those corrections on the sheet that I've got here. You'll be able to see it in the recording and then I'll send this to you in the chat. And we've done our first speaker, so that's come from one of the colleges. Okay? So learn this, look at the structures, think about what you wrote. It's really important. Okay? As these are prthese are what we want you to be practicing outside of these lessons. Yay, Isabella. Okay, what I'm going to do is going to send that now into the chat. So you've got it. Okay, amazing, right, Isabela, we are now going to practice our interview for the last sort of 15 minutes. Okay, so I'm on the one keyboard here. Where is your questions?
