First impression
On my first day I did learn new words relied to the environement. I did not learn any expression but it will for sure come later. What I found interresting as linguistic observation is that everyone have their own habilities to speak in english. Some people have different accent while other speaks very fast. It depends ( normaly ) on where they are from and what is their level of english. The words I learned are mostly relied to the environement, like : leaf / bug / bark and some others. I also learned words by asking questions like : sneeze and bless you. This day we did a bunch of little pieces of paper with elastics on it to distribute them to sensitize people to be more ecoligic. We also made a natural soap with vinegar and other natural products that is use to wash mostly everything in the house. For my part, the only misunderstand I can say is that for a reason of time, I am changing my internship placement to an other one closer to my house to avoid being late to class ( thats what happened this day ). So I hope my new internship placement will be as great as this one!
Goals of my first internship
The goals I wish to accomplish during my first internship ; I would like to to be able to have a full conversation in an appropriate language. How am I going to do that? I will use some of the strategies that I learned in class.
- Guesses : If I am not sure about something I will guesse something and see if its right, wich brings me to the other strategie I will use ;
- Having low inhibition : I will try my best without being scare to be wrong.
- Search for meanings : That means that if I dont understang well, I should ask for what it means insted of ignore its definition.
