2.1 더메이븐

2020년 6월 27일 오전 10시 30분 ~ 오전 11시 30분까지 Kelly 선생님, 파란 눈의 Kate 선생님과 함께 수업을 했다.

2.1.1 Conversation

David

What are some innovations that have improved our lives?

Joy

One I can think of is state-of-the-art computers

David

Can you imagine life without them?

Joy

Yep. The concept of time would sure be perceived differently.

David

And life would feel so empty and boring.

Joy

On a brighter note, people would spend more time with each other.

David

We'd probably have more thinkers and listeners with more time on our hands.

Joy

I suppose I'd have more hobbies than now.

2.1.2 Comprehension

1. What invention does Joy think has benefited our lives?

She thinks that the latest computers are one of the inventions that have improved our lives.

2. According to Joy, hat are the good points about living without computers?

On a brighter note, people would spend more time with each other.

3. How would her life be different if there were no computers?

She'd have more hobbies than now.

4. What does "with more time on our hands" mean?

It means putting more time in something.

5. Explain the meaning of David's last line.

He thinks that computers make people think less and listen not enough.
He implies that computers have a negative impact on thinking and listening skills.

2.1.3 Dictation

  1. We have invited a lot of people over the Christmas party.
  2. She hung up on me a couple of times.
  3. I bought two bags of chips and a carton of milk.
  4. There are a lot of fundraising events at the end of the year.

2.1.4 Key Phrases

1. state-of-the-art

Thanks to the state-of-the-art technology, we are able to...
Do you work in this state-of-the-art lab?

2. on a brighter note

The stock market started this week on a brighter note.
On a brighter note, we might extend our life expectancy.

3. I suppose (that)...

I suppose we have to wait until tomorrow.
Who do you suppose your boss is talking to on the phone?

2.1.5 Writing Using Key Phrases

2. What are some good and bad aspects about human cloning?

I don't think that human cloning has good aspects because it's against ethics. However, if people can make parts of human bodies or internal organs for patients in need, it would be great. (ex. stem cells)

4. Besides computers, what invention do you think has most benefited mankind?

Out of many innovations, I think electricity is an outstanding invention because people finally were free from the time limit.

6. What would your life be like if you lived 200 years ago?

My life would be terrible if I lived 200 years ago. I wouldn't have a chance to learn things. Due to the social stratum, I would have been powerless and poor.

2.1.6 Writing Task

Think about a top innovation that you think has significantly changed and improved mankind. Provide specific details to write just the supporting sentences.

I think that Information and Communication Technology, as known as ICT, is one of the top innovations.

It has increased productivity dramatically, and it also has made us possible to communicate with each other at any time and anyplace. Thanks to the innovation we learn things at a faster pace than before. It also changes the things we value. In the past, Memorization was one of the top skills humankind need; however, creativity is considered as one of the most critical abilities these days. Not to mention that it changes the way business is done.

It is true that we have come a long way to this, but there is still room for improvement in ICT. For example, one of the buzzwords is Artificial Intelligence or AI. I agree that it has been improved a lot, but we still have been struggling to control how the AI algorithm works.

Lastly, I would like people know that technology doesn't just automatically improve. It only improves if a lot of people work very hard to make it better. Truth to be told, it degrades if we don't work hard.
