question gabriella hi and thanks for joining us today thanks for having me so i have
to confess today's topic is something i am really bad at listening most people say
speaking is the most stressful part of learning a new language but for me with my
b1 german speaking isn't so bad at least i'm in control of it but listening whoa
people speak so fast and it's like my
(13:05) brain just shuts down am i just really strange and bad at listening tell me
honestly i can take it no you're not strange in fact it's really common you know in
exams most people do pretty well in speaking compared with listening of course
exams are a different situation from real life because in an exam you can't ask for
something to be repeated or explained you usually have just one or maybe two
opportunities to listen to the dialogue and then it's gone right but in real life i feel
stupid always saying
(13:44) sorry can you repeat that please especially if i still don't understand even
when they repeat it and people out there listening i hope you don't do this quite
often the person just repeats what they say equally as fast and i'm still lost they do
don't they in real life you've got two strategies one is to pretend to understand and
get out of the conversation as fast as you can yep sounds familiar but obviously
that's not going to help if it's a conversation with high stakes it might have
important consequences i
(14:23) mean if you're just chatting with a stranger at the bus stop it doesn't matter
but imagine you're at a government office or a bank trying to find out what
paperwork you need to get your id or open a bank account what can you do then i
hope you got the answer gabriella because i'm coming out in a cold sweat just
thinking about either of those situations the other strategy is to summarize what
they said but how can you do that if you didn't understand what they said ah well
you only start the summary
(14:58) so you might say in german in your case okay so the first thing i have to do
is and make it a question or for example and which office is that again break it down
into smaller questions and the other person will naturally start answering them that
way you're controlling the conversation a bit more i get you question 1.
(15:27) why does the man finds listening is the most difficult question two according
to the woman why real life listening is different from an exam question 3 why
pretending to understand
(16:31) is not helpful always question four what strategy did gabriella suggest
question five what tip did gabriella gave to the man
(18:01) question 6. how did the man feel in the end you will hear a news item once
it is about 1.5 minutes long then five questions will appear choose the best way to
complete each statement from the drop down menu two canadian women have

of takaradi two canadians were kidnapped earlier this year in the west african state
of burkina faso one was later found dead and the other a woman is still missing you
will listen to a two minutes video
(23:22) then eight questions appear choose the best way to answer each question
you will watch a discussion between three people this is jason this is heather this is
raylee another caffeinated beverage now a new health review finds 400 milligrams
of caffeine a day isn't going to hurt you so here's the math that is two medium
coffees eight cans of coke 40 cups of hot chocolate which if you're doing that we're
going to have a larger conversation correct the average person takes in less than
300 milligrams but probably doesn't know
(24:07) exactly how much you're taking in so we want to figure out uh heather just
how much caffeine is in our drinks so i mean i should ask you guys you guys are up
at these crazy ridiculous hours in the middle of the night we are i mean it's a
privilege heather it's a privilege i don't need caffeine i'm just naturally high on the
thrill of providing stories to you people every day i need caffeine you do i do uh so i
when i started doing morning tv i used to make cappuccinos at home very fancy uh
but i found out that you weren't
(24:37) getting yours at 2 am yeah but i found out that drip coffee actually has
more caffeine than espresso drinks right not surprising we also found out that even
though jason doesn't need caffeine he probably hits his upper limit yeah more
coffee i drink a fair amount i like the taste of coffee and i've gone as an experiment
without coffee for a couple of weeks to see if there's any effect nothing yeah but
you like it the rich i like it i like the routine yes so what kind of surprised me in this
one is what we did was we went
(25:08) to hamlin and we had the students at hamline put in order the list so we had
energy drinks we had sodas we had teas we had coffees just very put in an order
and nobody got it right and i didn't expect anybody to get it right so the thing with
the most caffeine is of our selection of nine drinks it was a five hour energy hour
energy has about how many milligrams it's 200 milligrams okay two five hour
energy of the day right but what was interesting to me is just the 12 ounce coffee
that we had gotten from starbucks just the regular
(25:37) dark roast of that day was almost the same amount of caffeine as that five
ever energy it's about 180 or something and that yes and that that 12 ounce that's
the small right exact starbucks interesting now coffee varies it's hard to just say like
coffee has acts yes like it varies from beans from rose to rose and i didn't know this
but light roast has more caffeine than dark roast right because i think people think
oh if this tastes more bitter there's going to be more caffeine right rough rule about
(26:06) a hundred milligrams for eight that up and ounces but so what is the but
what's important to you yeah so what's important is it's going to be more than tea
it's going to be more than soda that surprised a lot of people i think that the coffee
was because people think of oh i need this jolt of mountain dew right and mountain
dew right i thought mountain dew and the sugar does make a difference i thought
mountain dew was going to be a lot more if mountain dew was the most of the
sodas that we had
(26:33) but it still was only it wasn't it was it was like it was 45 milligrams for just for
a 12 ounce game right but if you're drinking dew you're doing a 20 or you're doing
like the big gulp right like 64. going to holiday getting that thing that's not a thing
that's the only way you can do the do right what about black teeth i think people
drink that like with lemon it's soothing it's relaxing and i drink tons of black tea all
the time and that was almost some of those black teas are almost as
(27:01) much as one can of red bull yeah interesting so don't do it before bed don't
go to the green tea that has some but not as much bottom line is 400 you're okay
so don't worry about it don't test it everybody's fine don't test it i don't know what
happens matt could maybe test it you know see what happens all right his voice
goes way up there you will hear a report once it is about
(30:27) three minutes long then six questions will appear choose the best way to
answer each question from the drop down menu canadians grabbing dinner at
mcdonald's pizza hut and other fast food joints are eating substantially higher levels
of salt compared to the same fat laden foods in other countries new global research
suggests an international team of scientists from as far as australia new zealand
france the united kingdom and the united states collaborated with canada in a
global study analyzing the salt content of more
(31:06) than 2 100 fast food items on the menus of six major companies the items
included breakfast burgers chicken products pizza sandwiches french fries and even
salads while fast food isn't the most nutritious choice the researchers say the meals
in canada and the united states contained much higher levels of sodium compared
to the same food in the uk and france chicken nuggets for example contain two and
a half times the amount of sodium 600 milligrams per 100 gram servings compared
to only 240 milligrams per 100
(31:39) gram servings in the uk salads and fat joints in canada by far provided the
highest salt content what we really found was that several of the fast food items in
canada have the highest if not closest to the highest or very close to the highest
amount of salt in their foods according to dr norman campbell campbell says
canadians should call on ottawa to regulate salt in other countries including the uk
finland and japan salt reduction efforts have forced companies to label ingredients
and food health is not a food company
(32:11) responsibility it's one of the mandates we gave our federal government our
federal government has advocated this responsibility for health and the safety of
the food source back to the food industry and that's clearly inappropriate not going
to work campbell said the report insists that widespread reformulation of products
to decrease salt can be introduced over several years health canada has chaired the
sodium working group which has released guidelines on how much salt canadians
should be consuming but its full recommendations haven't
(32:40) been implemented you
