Hello!
Welcome to this module, Using Commands and Expressing Needs.
What are we going to be learning in this module?
Let's take a look.
In this module, you will be learning new grammar
to express commands, needs, and responsibilities.
But not only that,
you are also going to be seeing
how all these expressions are used in real-life situations
to collaborate with other people.
Let's work together with commands for our first role play activity.
For this role play activity, we have three guidelines
to help you get the most out of the activity.
Number one, pay attention, listen, and see how much you understand.
Number two, pay attention to any new vocabulary and grammar,
because we will be going more in-depth
about all this vocabulary, all this grammar, throughout this module.
Last but not least, remember,
it is okay if you don't understand everything,
because as we keep studying,
you will see that your comprehension will get better and better as time goes on.
Let's see if we can spice up this activity a little bit
with some comprehension questions to see how much you understand.
Number one, does Lucy think the slides are ready to present?
Number two, is Andrew optimistic for the proposal?
Number three, what will Blake do during the presentation?
The last one,
what is Lucy going to help Blake with tomorrow?
That one is a little bit of a challenge.
Now let's dive right into our first role play activity.
Great job, everyone!
Now we just have to make sure we finish our proposal before the meeting.
No problem.
I am just going to have Sam take a quick look at it
to make sure everything is clear.
After he gives us his feedback,
I will let you guys know what we can do to finish it up
Just to clarify,
we will be presenting our ideas separately from the other departments, right?
Correct.
I hadn't talked to Corey before he decided on the meeting times,
so they scheduled us for Friday.
That is a relief.
By Friday, we will have finished everything for the proposal
and even started on the next project.
Don't get ahead of yourself, Andrew.
The proposal is good, but the slides definitely need editing.
I think they look pretty good.
If necessary, I can do some editing tomorrow.
Let's try not to overthink it, though.
I think we have our vision pretty clear and everything is going to go super well.
Sounds good.
Once it is time for the presentation, I will give the introduction.
Lucy is going to be changing the slides
and you are going to be answering everyone's questions, right?
Yes, but if people have questions about the budget,
I can definitely hop in and give them some details.
That would be great.
I understand the projection and the overall plan,
but when it comes to the budget, I get a little bit confused.
I will try to brush up on things before Friday
so that you don't have to be solely responsible
for the budget questions.
I appreciate it, Blake.
If you want, we can spend some time tomorrow
going over the details so that you are ready to go.
What time is the proposal scheduled for on Friday?
We are looking at 10 o'clock,
so that should give us time to practice once in the morning
and to relax a little before we get started.
Cool.
Let's definitely go to lunch together afterwards
and reflect on how things went.
No matter what, we are still the best department ever.
I am honestly pretty excited to show everybody our plan.
Me too.
It has been great working with you guys,
and I know we are going to do great.
Just to confirm,
tomorrow we are going to meet up again at two
to give it the finishing touches, right?
Yep. Sounds like a plan.
Thank you guys for all of your hard work.
Hey, welcome back.
How was that role play activity?
Did you understand what was going on?
Awesome, let's see how you did on these questions.
Number one.
Does Lucy think the slides are ready to present?
The answer is no.
Lucy thinks that the slides need to be edited
because she sees that they could be even better.
And that is the attitude we are always looking for.
Number two.
Is Andrew optimistic for the proposal?
Absolutely.
As you could see, Andrew was displaying a lot of optimism.
He was excited for the project.
He thought that they could even start working ahead on other projects.
That is the attitude, Andrew.
Great job.
Number three.
What will Blake do during the presentation?
Blake is going to be answering people's questions
because that is what they decided Blake will do
when they decided the role of each person for the proposal.
Did you catch that?
Great job.
Last but not least, we have
what is Lucy going to help Blake with tomorrow?
This was a bit of a challenge.
But if you listen closely,
you will see that Lucy will help Blake understand the budget
before the proposal.
Now, let's practice.
I want you to summarize the role play in your own words.
What happened?
What is going to happen?
What did they decide?
Any other detail that you found interesting.
And I would love to read about a time
where you worked collaboratively with a group of people.
How did you decide who was going to do what?
What was the overall objective?
Give me any details and I can't wait to read
what you have to say in the comments section.
See you in the next class.
