  1. Topic 13: Diaries I: Interpretation as a tool in listening and speaking practice (consecutiveinterpretation)

  2. Diary • A diary is a record (originally in handwritten format) with discrete entries arranged by date reporting on what has happened over the course of a day or other period. • A personal diary may include a person's experiences, and/or thoughts or feelings, including comment on current events outside the writer's direct experience. • Someone who keeps a diary is known as a diarist . • Internet diaries • Fictional diaries

  3. vlog • A video blog, sometimes shortened to vlog(pronounced 'vlog', as opposed to 'v-log') is a form of blog for which the medium is video, and is a form of webtelivision. • Entries often combine embedded video or a video link with supportingtext, images, and other metadata. • Entries can be recorded in one take or cut into multiple parts. • It is also a very popular category on YouTube.

  4. Video Example: • Diaries and Autobiographies (My Life Story)

  5. Paraphrase • A paraphrase is a restatement of the meaning of a text or passage using other words.  • A paraphrase typically explains or clarifies the text that is being paraphrased. For example, "The signal was red" might be paraphrased as "The train was not allowed to pass because the signal was red, • Paraphrase is usually introduced with a verbum dicendi​—​a declaratory expression to signal the transition to the paraphrase. For example, in "The signal was red, that is, the train was not allowed to proceed," the that is signals the paraphrase that follows.

  6. Active vsPassive Vocabulary • Passive vocabulary refers to word that an individual recognizes but rarely uses when speaking and writing. • Active vocabulary is vocabulary that you can recall and use at will when the situation requires it. You are choosing to use the word and actively retrieving it from memory. • Everyone's active vocabulary (the words one actually uses frequently) is much smaller than one's passive vocabulary (the words one recognizes, understands, and might be able to use). • Words stop being passive if people are regularly contracting relations that activate them.

  8. Tool: Memory & Language Technique • This drill should help you improve your ability to read, understand, remember, and speak. • It should also prepare you for your professional practice as an interpreter who should remember all the sentences she listens to. • Read the first paragraph silently. • Try to tell it orally to your friend without looking at it. • Then she takes the next turn using the second paragraph.

  9. Assignment: • Prepare yourself to tell your diary in the style of a vlog to your class next class. • It can be: • One day diary. • Your whole life in short. • About something that happened to you. • Something that happened to someone else (read or heard about it) and your reaction, comments, feelings, etc. • 3-5 minutes long.
