#Person2#: I'm a newspaper columnist. I write comments for a living. I enjoy working in a coffeehouse.
#Person1#: I see. But isn't it a bit too noisy?

#Person1#: I can see that. Then what is your favorite coffee?
#Person2#: Irish coffee is my favorite. But I can drink any other. I'm not particular on it.
#Person1#: All right. Would you make coffee yourself when you are at home?
#Person2#: Not very often. Making coffee is a bit troublesome. Most of the time, I just buy takeout at Starbucks. And also, I quite like instant coffee.
#Person1#: I think instant coffee is becoming more and more popular. Though its taste is not perfect, it's really cheap and convenient.
#Person2#: Exactly. Nescafe is the world's favorite coffee. People love it all over the world?
#Person1#: Which country makes the best coffee in the world?
#Person2#: Many people think Brazil makes the best coffee. Brazil exports a lot of coffee. But I love Irish coffee. So it's hard to say. Just depends on your taste.
#Person1#: I agree. I heard in the western countries, almost everyone likes coffee. Is that true?
#Person2#: Yes. No doubt about that. For us, coffee is more a living style rather than a simple drink. I heard Chinese people don't drink that much coffee.
#Person1#: No, we don't, especially the old people. But more and more young people fall for coffee.
#Person2#: I suppose so. That's probably why there are so many wonderful coffeehouses in China now.

Jack: I would think. THINK. That's what I'd do. Think for myself and not what they want me to think.
Luke: Well, you and I, the likes of us are in the minority now.

Project Manager: So nice to see you again So Tod for this meeting I will take the notes and do the minutes so we will see our three presentations we will start with the Manager Expert wi who will talk about user re requirements what is user needs and what it desire for this devi device
Marketing: can I have the laptop over here or ?
Project Manager: Yep Oh I do not think so I think you have to come here I do not know I think it should stay Should stay in the square here
Marketing: so basically I am going to present some findings of a study we conducted into what users want in this remote control
Project Manager: Oh you can put it here Oh that is it is jus
Marketing: so first of all we what we did is we conducted a an experiment with a hundred test subjects we put them in a in our usability laboratory and got them to you know play with remote controls and also to complete after they would done that to complete a questionnaire to tell us what they like and what they do not like in remote controls So basically the major things we found out was that basically users do not like the look and feel of of most remote controls that are currently on the market they you know seventy five percent of the people we we did the experiments on found that rem remote the remote controls that they would used in the past were ugly Completely ugly they they did not match the operating behaviour of the user that is you know the the way users use remote controls when they are watching TV that the layout of the remote controls did not match they way that they used it and thirdly they say that w half of the users that we tested said that they only used ten percent of the buttons that are on remote controls so we collect we also some collected some usage statistics based on how these test subjects were using their remote control And from this we basically came up with the figure that the channel buttons the channel selection buttons are the most by far the most used buttons on the remote control and you can see they are used a hundred and sixty eight times per hour on average while the users watching TV the closest button that was used well the cl the button that was used that was closest to the channel button was the teletext button which was used fourteen times per hour followed by the volume button which was four times per hour all the other all the other buttons such as ch audio and picture selection configuration buttons and things were used you know l approx well less than or equal to one times per hour we also asked users which buttons had the most importance to them you know which which buttons they felt were the most important buttons on on the remote control And basically they came they said the channel volume and power buttons had the highest relevance to users note that only power was very infrequently used it only had a b a a fr usage frequency of about one times per hour but users ranked it as having a very very high relevance and the audio and picture settings had a very that well the users thought that w the audio and picture settings were very were not very important to them and they used them very infrequently a as well So we asked users what what frustrates them the most about current remote controls And fifty percent of the users said that what frustrates them is losing the remote control somewhere in the room and not being able to find it they also said that it it takes a lot of time to learn a new remote control especially when there is many buttons and it is a you know a c a a unintuitive interface and then thirdly they some users commented on the fact that the the you know the way that you have to hold and press buttons on a remote control ar are bad and because you repetitive strain injury We also asked some users about some specific features that they would like to see in the on the remote control In particular do they want an LCD d display and secondly do they think speech recognition is a useful feature to have on a remote control basically our findings are that amongst a younger age groups the answer is umv overwhelmingly yes They want these features they want these high technology features for instance ninety one percent of pe of people aged between fifteen and twenty five said yes they want these features Whereas the the trend was as users as users became older and older they were less likely to want these sort of features in a in a remote control So I guess it depends on where we are focusing our our market and as our company motto is putting fashion in electronics I think we are focusing on the younger younger target demographic and so maybe we should think about adding these sort of high technology features into our remote control That is my dic that is my presentation Thank you
|
Users didn't like the look and feel of most remote controls currently on the market. And most users only used ten percent of buttons on the remote control. Channel selection button was the most commonly used button, followed by the volume button. Young users might prefer to have high technology features such as LCD display or speech recognition function on the remote control.

#Person1#: There is a tornado warning on. My mother just told me she heard it on the radio.
#Person2#: What is a tornado warning?
#Person1#: It means that a tornado has been seen somewhere in the area.
#Person2#: Really? In New Berlin?
#Person1#: No. Not necessarily in town. But in southern Wisconsin somewhere. A tornado has been spotted. They have two stages here. This is what is called a tornado watch. That means that the weather conditions are perfect for a tornado.
#Person2#: I understand. They think a tornado might come.
#Person1#: Yes. People should look out, because maybe there will be tornadoes coming. So it's called a watch.
#Person2#: And the second stage is called a tornado warning.
#Person1#: Yes. If a tornado has been spotted, they announce a tornado warning. So if there's a tornado warning on, it means a tornado is out there somewhere.
#Person2#: It's scary.
#Person1#: Well. Tornadoes can be dangerous, it's true. If we hear something like a loud train coming, then we have to go in the basement.
#Person2#: What do you mean a loud train?
#Person1#: That is what tornadoes sound like. They sound like trains. They're very loud.
#Person2#: But if you hear them coming, isn't it already too late?
#Person1#: Maybe. It depends on the tornado. Some can move across the ground at 200 miles an hour. That is very fast. Others aren't so fast.
#Person2#: Have you seen a lot of them?
#Person1#: I've only seen one in my life. I was looking out the window. It was around two miles away. It was very interesting to watch. But it was heading toward my friend's house. So I quickly called them on the phone.
#Person2#: Did it hit their house?
#Person1#: No, it didn't. But they are glad I called them.
#Person2#: What were they doing when you called?
#Person1#: They were all sitting in the living room watching TV. They had no idea a tornado was coming toward their house. If it had hit them, they could have all been killed.
#Person2#: That's terrible. Do many people die in tornadoes?
#Person1#: Not so many really. But a lot of houses are destroyed sometimes.
|
#Person1# explains to #Person2# the details about tornados in terms of two stages which are a tornado warning and a tornado watch. #Person1# further explains the sound of tornados and the causes of such sound, as wells as the danger of tornado.

priest: I won't make you take less food. We'll pass a 2nd collection basket on Sunday and say it's for repairs. Would you mind calling him though?

Victor: Hi everyone! I guess it’s time for a debrief
Victor: We’ve organised an event, started promotion two weeks before it started. 27 People registered in total and 21 showed up in the end
Victor: I tend to think the event itself went smoothly and the speakers performed well.
Victor: There was some engagement between the audience and the speakers, although for the future I would try and think of strategies to foster more engagement
Victor: Few people showed up for the drinks afterwards, which personally surprised me because that was the part we actually ended up advertising the most.
Victor: And when it comes to our performance as a team, I’d say everything went smoothly! If I had to think of things to improve though, I’d say that we could communicate more swiftly and that info necessary for the event to go ahead as planned should be shared so that if one of us happens to be unavailable, busy, etc. others can swiftly take his/her task over.
Victor: I’d be happy to know what your thoughts are 🤗
Tony: Heyyyyyyy
Tony: I agree with you on everything lol
Tony: Yer, for the future it’d be good to start promotion beforehand. I’m actually still surprised that so many people came in the end
Tony: The point about sharing important info is very much to the point
Tony: ⚫️⚪️
Alice: Hey! Well, thanks to Tony for his relentless efforts to promote the event via Twitter. I’ve followed the “campaign” and think it was really good
Alice: I don’t take the thing about info and being busy personally, although I have to recognise I did withhold some info that was much needed and my timing wasn’t very good either.
Alice: I can take care of setting up a google sheets document where we’ll be able to put important info to be shared w/ other committee members
Alice: What do you think?
Victor: 🤩 That sounds terrific actually! Thanks
Victor: And no worries, this was our first event so we knew from the start it couldn’t be perfect
Alice: 😊
Victor: Well, I think we can congratulate ourselves both on the event and on the nice and fruitful debrief 🍒🍌🍉🤣
Alice: We sure can. Thanks guys
Tony: 🥂
|
The promotion for Victor, Tony and Alice's event lasted for 2 weeks. 21 out of 27 registered people attended, few of them left for the drinks. Victor suggests they need to widen the reach of the promotion and work on communication between the team members. Tony and Alice agree.

Industrial Designer: you are going to be a little disappointed with some of the things I have to tell you but I am afraid this is the real world So I have been looking at the the basics of how these devices actually have to work in order to operate and I have had some discussions with the ma manufacturing division who have told me what is actually available you know what the current state of the art in components is and some of the exciting new things they have got but I am not sure that it is quite what you want Now this is not a very good overhead but this is just to show you this is the innards of a remote control I really need a pen or something but does my mouse work ? No oh can you see my little mouse pointer ? Right This is this is the a a a remote that is been opened up and that is the the back of the interface And this is a pushbutton one so you see these little little buttons here they are little rubber rubber buttons that go through onto the the board at the back and they push these buttons here and we that is the basic construction that we have got to got to accommodate We got to have something that pushes the little buttons that talk to the chip that encodes the message that sends the the message to the receiver So I wan I want to go through not not just addressing the the the points that you made Sarah but doing my presentation in the order I wrote it So first of all I want to talk about what possibilities we have got for the energy source we can have your bog standard double double A batteries in a replaceable little compartment We can have a hand sorry a windup which I think is quite an interesting concept for a sorry for a remote control but i it maybe is does not quite go with the the fruit and veg one that one that I think is quite interesting is the kinetic energy source
Project Manager: Remember we only have forty minutes
Industrial Designer: where you you actually get the energy by moving the device which is quite a ni a nice and neat one You have to it means that if it is sitting there for a long time it probably will not work but you have to sort of throw it between your hands every now and then it will work Or we we had talked about solar power but I thing that we agreed that that is not so good in the dark
|
The group rejected the idea of wind-up because it wasn't suitable for the theme of the remote control, and the idea of solar power because it was inconvenient to use in darkness. Industrial Designer suggested using the kinetic as the source of power. This opinion was accepted by the group because of its convenience, light weight, fancy design and the good selling point of the environment.

knight: I think I'd better put my armor back on, you might beat me to death with that ridiculous book of yours. We must protect what is ours.
a young student reading a book beneath a dogwood tree: We obviously aren't going to see eye to eye so let me see what is so special about this armour
knight: Get your hands off it, the likes of you isn't worthy enough to clean my armour.
a young student reading a book beneath a dogwood tree: This is the problem. You're attacking me just for looking at your armor. This is ridiculous.
knight: Boy, I don't mean you any harm, I am as brave and strong as they come, but there is no honor or victory when the opponent is as harmless as you and your books.
a young student reading a book beneath a dogwood tree: I'm tired of your insults. You aren't so tough without the armor and I will prove it.

#Person1#: Why is that?
#Person2#: It's primarily designed for business transactions. That is, writing checks to pay for bills, buying things and sending money. We won't expect a large amount of deposit in a current account.
#Person1#: I see. How do I draw money for my own use then?
#Person2#: Oh, you can draw money here, at a bank. Or you can do it at ATMs.
#Person1#: Ok. Thank you.

#Person2#: There are so many to choose from. I didn't know you could do all of this using a card.

child: That's true, if you talk you must have a name, what do I tell people your name is?
fruit bat: I...don't have a name. I've never spoken to anyone before. My only experience with humans are guards who attack me.
child: How do you speak then if you have never spoken to anyone, maybe I'm a kid but that doesn't make sense bat. I will name you then. How about Pegsy

Larry: Hey, how was your weekend? Anything fun you did?
Diane: Hey, weekend was great. Too short, as always. We had a few people over Saturday but nothing too extravagant.
Larry: I guess I missed the invite!
Diane: Not at all, just a few people decided to randomly show up. I'm just lucky I decided not to wear pjs all day, it would ve been awkward.
Larry: I see. Did you have fun though?
Diane: Yeah it was great. The weather turned out to be awesome so we ended up just goofing off in the pool.
Larry: Sounds fun! I wish we had a pool.
Diane: Yeah, tbh it's just a hole in your pocket most the time. We literally use it a few times a year.
Larry: Really?! Why? I wouldn't leave it in the summer!
Diane: Idk why. Seems like a good idea in theory... you still gotta pay maintenance every month... we just had to shell out 500 bucks for new pool cleaner.because it randomly decided to stop working.
Larry: WOW, that is a lot of money, maybe it's just better to have a friend with a pool instead LOL
Diane: Exactly!! but it's not like we can just poor concrete over it and be done
Larry: Ha ha! Not random at all!
Diane: Yeah, our pool company wouldnt be too crazy about it, I bet. You dont'r happen to be looking for a new house with a pool, do ya?
Larry: well. we ve been looking at some properties down south but market is insane atm. I think we will wait until it drops.
Diane: Good plan/ But it might take a while, so I hear.
Larry: We're not in a hurry, thank god. We still like the house we're at. Maybe want something bigger in the future but nothing urgent/
Diane: I see... I kinda wish we hadn'tt got such a big one to begin with. Cleaning is a nightmare and our usual cleaner moved away so we gotta find someone new.
Larry: Sure you can find someone on fb, try some local groups, people offer all sort of services all the time.
Diane: Yeah, thats probably what we're gonna end up doing. All i've seen so far has been really expensive but these were regular companies so perhaps fb can help.

Meryl: God, this is outrages
Arnold: I can't believe it happens in the 21st century
Alice: have you seen the video of Latifa?
Alice: she said she would be in a very dangerous situation

Arnold: yes, but its the Gulf, it's a different world
Alice: I'm not sure this is so different
Alice: Women in the West are often prisoners of different prisons
Alice: forms are different but the meaning is the same
Arnold: what do you mean by "different prisons" then?
Alice: the form of motherhood we have, households etc.
Arnold: I think a lot of women enjoy it
Alice: oh, sure, I think a lot of women in the Gulf enjoy their situation as well, especially those rich princesses
Alice: there're always very few people in every system who can see through it, just like in "Matrix"
Arnold: Maybe you're right, after all what I can know about it
Alice: and this is nice about you Arnold! not patronising women
Arnold: thanks, I try to do my best

Nel: Sounds really cool :) And the atmosphere in the group, no tentions?
Mark: No, it was surprisingly tention-free, you know. Although there was one guy I couldn't stand. But the feeling was, I think, mutual, so we just stayed out of each other's way.
Nel: You couldn't stand him? It doesn't sound like you! Why was it?
Mark: He was mean to his girlfriend. It really got on my nerves.
Nel: Okey, now I understand.

Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you Chair Just following on from your answer to Siân Gwenllian earlier about the number of vulnerable children in school what is being done specifically to facilitate more of those children coming into a school setting or hub at the moment ? I am thinking about the 600 you have talked about and I know in one of my local authority areas of Merthyr which is a very small authority we are talking about the number of children identified as vulnerable running into thousands not hundreds and that is just in one authority So this is a particularly difficult issue to address I appreciate but how are we going to get more of these children into the hubs ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Dawn The first thing to say is that the issue of vulnerable children attending settings is one that is a challenge to not just Wales but also to my colleagues in Northern Ireland Scotland and England I am pleased to say that we are working across Government departments—myself obviously and colleagues in education—with colleagues in social services to have a crossGovernment approach to these issues I think the first thing to say is that these are complex messages because the overriding public health message from our Government has been to stay at home and children should be kept at home as much as possible and to make sure that our hubs run smoothly safely and effectively we do need to limit the number of children who are attending those hubs So firstly the fact that numbers are small is in some ways a success of our public health messages because parents have been heeding those messages but of course all of us will have concerns for some children who remain at home So I am pleased to say that we have seen a doubling in the last week of the number of children So although numbers are small they have doubled over the course of the last week We are working with local authorities and they have assured us that children and young people with a social worker have been risk assessed on a multiagency basis and are receiving support in a number of ways and that includes having conversations about some of those children attending the hubs They are also looking to support in other ways Of course some of our children who would be classed as vulnerable—and our definition of vulnerable is one that is shared between the systems in England and Wales—could be children with a statement of special educational needs For some of those children who perhaps have very intense health needs actually staying at home is the appropriate thing for that child and that family to do and we are looking to support families and local authorities and local education systems are looking to support families in a number of ways We also know that just because you do not have a social worker or a statement of special educational needs does not mean that a child may not be vulnerable and schools are very aware of the needs of those children and have been carrying out regular telephone checkins where they can—if the age of the child is appropriate—just to keep in touch with those families and those individual children But we will continue to work across Government to encourage where it is appropriate children to attend settings and if it is not appropriate for children to be in a setting that there is contact with those children and young people to ensure that they remain and their families remain supported
Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you Minister It is encouraging to hear you talk about the ongoing safeguarding of children that are at home and I assume within that appropriate referral mechanisms are still in place if teachers or anybody has any particular concern about a child Similarly with special educational needs whereas some of those children benefit clearly from a onetoone provision in a school and they may not respond as well to remote working or remote contact with an SEN advisor are you considering in any way any relaxation of the lockdown rule in particular for those children in terms of them being able to access the support that they need for their particular educational needs ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Well first of all Dawn you are absolutely right : my expectation is that schools should remain in contact with children and continue to identify vulnerable children and schools should continue to refer children to childrens services if they have any concerns and that would also of course be the case for youth workers who may be keeping in contact with children So there is a professional expectation on all those that are working with our children and young people that despite the circumstances they find themselves in they should continue to report and refer cases if they see anything or hear or are told anything that makes them concerned about a childs welfare and safety With regard to children with additional learning needs I am aware that that can present a number of challenges to families and children and perhaps Steve Davies could give some further details We have been keen to work with local authorities to ensure specialist provision where that is appropriate—so if I could give you an example of my own local authority in Powys they have two specialist centres available for children with more profound additional learning needs and those centres are available—recognising however that even with the provision of specialist hubs it can be a challenge for some children with additional learning needs to find themselves outside of a routine Hubs are often staffed on a rota basis and therefore children could be faced with staff that they are unfamiliar with So even when local authorities—and the vast vast majority of them do—have specialist services in place sometimes that might not be the best thing for a childs health and wellbeing But perhaps Steve can give us further details of the conversations that have been taking place with directors of education to ensure that children with additional learning needs have access to the hubs and specialist support Steve
Steve Davies: Yes myself and colleague Albert Heaney—colleaguedirector—have been in regular touch with directors of education and directors of social services to make sure that these children and young peoples needs are catered for We are very aware of all of the special schools—profound and multiple learning difficulties EBD schools and pupil referral units—that have been kept open in their own way but also in some cases as hubs to deliver those services for those childrens needs and we are pleased that the directors and the local authorities have responded so constructively So we have the details of every school that is open the pupils who are attending and we are clear that the risk assessments that the Minister referred to for children with special needs as well as wider vulnerable groups—they are having risk assessments to make sure that where there is a need identified for a pupil that is not currently attending a hub then the local authority can be working with that child and with the parents
|
Dawn Bowden AM asked about the methods to include more vulnerable children to the hubs and to begin with, Kirsty Williams AM suggested that this challenge was faced by the four nations. The Welsh Government, together with local authorities and local education systems were looking to support families whose children had special education needs in a number of ways, including to decrease risks for hiring a social worker. Moreover, Dawn Bowden AM assumed that appropriate referral mechanisms should still be in place, which was agreed by Kirsty Williams AM who added that schools should remain in contact with children and continue to identify vulnerable children.

#Person1#: Hello! Are you shopping here today? Haven't I seen you in some flea markets and thrift shops a couple of times?
#Person2#: I'm just comparing prices.
#Person1#: You should! This thrift shop is really cheap, though, you have to pay cash here.
#Person2#: But they don't let you have goods on approval.

#Person1#: There you are, Ben. The information about the evening classes I sent off for has arrived. Right, here are the general courses.
#Person2#: Flower arranging. That's a real course? Why would someone want to do that?
#Person1#: You sit in front of the TV watching baseball for 3 hours every Saturday. And many people would find that boring, too.
#Person2#: OK, relax. Let's see what else.
#Person1#: Photography. That looks interesting. It started last week, but I don't think that would be a problem.
#Person2#: But look at the price. $280 is too much for me. I wonder why it's so expensive. I don't think I can afford it. But, hey, at least it's $40 cheaper than the Italian wine course. Look at that. $400 web design for beginners. It's pretty cheap. What do you think?
#Person1#: I don't want to see a computer in the evening too.
#Person2#: Hey, look. How about Indian cooking? Starts this week. A little bit expensive.
#Person1#: $190. You know how much I love Indian food. I'll call him tomorrow to see if there are still spaces available.
#Person2#: I'll call them right away.
#Person1#: There won't be anyone there now. We'll try in the morning.
#Person2#: This will be great. We can have our own Indian dinner parties.

Ben and #Person1# are looking for a suitable evening class for Ben, and they are interested in Indian cooking after comparison.

mice: I'm not sure. Everyone has always been able to hear me.
knight: Are you by chance a man that was turned into a mouse by a powerful sorcerer?

mice: I think I wore armor, just like yours!
knight: I am sworn to protect the royal family. Can you swear that wish no ill of them?

mice: That would be grand! Perhaps I could be restored and be a knight, too!
knight: Perhaps if we can restore you to your former stature.
mice: And then I could serve by your side, and support the Kingdom!
knight: Sir Mouse, do you remember where in the Kingdom you awoke in the pile of human clothing?

dancer: If you desire to become a world-class dancer, you must invest the time to practice.
royal family: I understand, but how am I to invest time I do not possess? Being kept to a strict schedule by my father has limited me.
dancer: What else do you do besides dance, lessons, and etiquette?
royal family: I tend to the roses out in the garden. And am required to go along on diplomatic trips to the neighboring castles. Father says it is a sign of good faith.
dancer: Can you integrate dance practice into any of those activities? For instance, can you prone roses while practicing your plie?
royal family: I had not considered the option before!
dancer: It is creative thinking like that that sets apart the master dancers from the mediocre.
royal family: I do hope I won't lose my balance and fall into the rose bushes. That would be rather unsightly...
dancer: Consider it an incentive to practice well!
