Lesson 1: Eye on Health or her energy level up?

(M-Cn) This is Henry Davis, with Eye on Health. I'm here today
with our nutrition expert Professor Charlotte Neumann, of
Lincolnwood University. We're going to be discussing her
best-selling book "Lose Weight by Eating More!" Thank
you for joining us this morning, Professor Neumann.
(W-Am) Every three hours or so. Eating nutritious food every three
hours will give you energy throughout the day.
(M-Cn) Some days I get so busy, I don't even have time to eat two
meals...

(W-Am) Thank you for having me, Henry. I'm delighted to be on (W-Am) Skipping meals is a bad idea. People often think that if they skip

opposite is also true. When you skip meals, your body holds

better to eat five or six small meals a day rather than
three big meals. Why is that? (M-Cn) What are your thoughts on snacking?

(W-Am) There are many reasons. For one thing, eating small meals
throughout the day keeps your blood sugar levels steady,
rather than alternating between high and low. When your
blood sugar levels are balanced, you're less hungry, so you
don't feel a need to eat as much.
(M-Cn) Does that mean that eating a heavy lunch might actually
make you feel hungrier?
(W-Am) Snacking is fine, provided you snack only on nutritious foods,
like fruit, vegetables and nuts. And you still want to eat only
limited amounts.
(M-Cn) Thank you, Dr. Neumann. We're going to take a commercial
break, and when we return, Dr. Neumann will answer
questions from listeners.

(W-Am) Yes, and it'll probably also make you tired. When you eat a
big meal, or when you don't eat for many hours, the
energy level in your body decreases. You're too tired to
exercise, yet you need to be active to lose weight.

UNIT 2: PURCHASING
Lesson 1: LECTURE ON PHOTOGRAPHY
Welcome to "Photography for Beginners." I'm Rudy and I've been
working in the photography industry for over ten years. The topic of our
first class is "How to Buy a Camera." Nowadays, there are so many
cameras on the market that the task of choosing one can be very
overwhelming. Tonight I'm going to give you some tips to help you
narrow your search.
Basically, there are two types of camera: the compact camera, and the
Digital Single Lens Reflex or "DSLR". The compact camera is automatic.
You press a button, and it takes a picture. It's also very small. The DSLR is
the kind professional photographers use. It has manual settings, so you
can adjust settings yourself, and change lenses.
I'm going to pass around a few cameras of each type, so you can compare
them. I use these for my own work in my studio...so, please handle them
carefully!
Before choosing a camera, you should ask yourself a few basic questions.
Your answers to these questions will help you pinpoint which type of
camera is best for you.
Your first question should always be "Why am I buying a camera? What
will I use it for?" Do you want something simple that will let you snap
pictures of your friends and family? Or do you need it for those fabulous
scenery shots you plan to take on your next vacation?
Next, think about how comfortable you are with new technologies.
Are you interested in learning photography techniques, or do you just
want a camera that'll get the job done?
Portability is another factor. Are you looking for something small and
light, or are quality photos your main concern, so you won't mind
carrying around a DSLR, even though it's much larger than a compact?
Finally, how much are you willing to spend? A DSLR can cost a few
hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars. You'll want to find the best
quality camera within your price range. Sometimes spending a little more
will get you a better quality camera, which you'll be more satisfied with
in the long run.
Now that you know what questions to ask before buying a camera, I want
you to think about how you'd answer each one. Then, we'll discuss which
type of camera might be most suitable for each of you.
 nowadays (adv): these days, actualmente, en la actualidad, hoy en dìa.
 overwhelming (adj): to much, abrumador
 narrow (v): reducir
 pinpoint (v): locate a place very specifically, determinar con precisión,
identificar
 snap (v): tomar una foto
 shots: tomas – scenary shots tomas de paisajes
 willing (adj): dispuesto
 suitable (adj): adecuado, apropiado, conveniente
 rush hour: hora punta

Exercise:

They're coming out with a camera that has amazing features; I plan to London

Dear Mr. Laurent,
The shop has an overwhelming selection of cameras, from the simplest
compact cameras to the most sophisticated DSLRs. I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Evanston International Arts
Festival in May. I visited your booth and fell in love with your incredible

together to create beautiful sculptures. It's no wonder your booth had a
constant flow of visitors.

Now that I've started the process, I would like to inquire about obtaining Lesson 4: PREPARING FOR PART 2: QUESTION-RESPONSE
ten to fifteen pieces of your artwork. Your sculptures would fit in
perfectly with the folk-art feel of Artisans and Apprentices. Analyzing indirect questions

Please let me know if you would be interested in having me display your
sculptures. If so, I hope I can also persuade you to e-mail me a portrait
photo along with a brief biography telling about your life and work.
Thank you in advance for your support, and I look forward to hearing
from you!
Sincerely,
In this part of the test you hear a question or statement from one speaker,
followed by three responses from another speaker.
In authentic English, the speaker often uses an introductory phrase before
asking a question. These kinds of questions are sometimes called indirect
or embedded questions. It is important to pay attention to the actual
question that follows the introductory phrase in order to identify the
correct response.

Rosario Cruz Here are some examples of introductory phrases:

Do you know if/whether...?

booth (n): a stand at a fair for selling things - un puesto en una feria para
vender cosas. You don't know... do you?
go ahead (v): start to do something, do it - seguir adelante

craftspeople: artesanos Could you tell me...?

one-of-a-kind: único en su clase You couldn't tell me... could you?

inquire (v): ask about something – preguntar
Have you got any idea...?
folk-art: arte popular
You haven't got any idea... have you?
If so: Si es así
Would you mind...?
Portrait: retrato

Along with a brief: Junto con una breve You don't mind... do you?

Thank you in advance for your support, and I look forward to hearing from
you!: ¡Gracias de antemano por su apoyo, y espero escuchar de usted!

BLOG: Interviewer’s Guide
The Interviewer's Guide
By HR Specialist, David Flasso
Posted on Monday, May 24th at 06:30 P.M. Comments 0
I have been working in the Human Resources Department at Red Shark
Manufacturing for 11 years. When I started at Red Shark, I was the only HR
person. With no guidance, I had to manage by myself and learn along the
way, making many mistakes in the process. So, I have decided to provide
those in my field with the kind of advice that I could have really used back
then.
To start out, here is a list of points to keep in mind when searching for
prospective employees:
 Before starting the hiring process, clearly define the position you are
hoping to fill. Identify the necessary duties, skills, and responsibilities
required for the job. Once you have defined the position, make sure to
assign it an accurate title.
 Make sure the job title and its requirements are clearly stated in the job
description in your advertisement. Keep your advertisement short and to
the point.
 Review résumés, cover letters, and job applications carefully. Weed out
applicants by pre-screening them over the phone. I have found this to be
a very effective time-saving measure. A brief phone interview will often
help you determine whether or not it is worthwhile to invite the
applicant for a face-to-face interview.
 Ensure that applicants understand exactly what they will be
expected to do, at what pay, for whom, etc. Not being clear at the
beginning has caused me a lot of problems later on.
 While interviewing, generate a hiring priority list of the best
candidates for the position, noting who seems to be best for the
job.
 Hiring the wrong employee is costly to the company. Do not rush
the hiring process. Invest the time and energy needed to find the
best candidate for the position and do not settle for someone who
will only make a mediocre contribution.
