pretty much, right? The second one, more specifically, what's an important pull factor for you that would help you decide to move to a new place? And then what's an important pull factor that might make you decide to leave David? So it is two questions there. It is logically possible that the factor is the same, right? A pull factor to go to a new place, could be the same as the pull factor to leave David. But
I want you to have two different factors. I want you to talk about at least two different kinds of factors. OK. So one hold, one push. Something specific for Degun, for the push, and then pull factor in general. What's important for you? What's an important factor when you consider your future life? All right. And then the third question, again, it's on AI. The previous last two semesters, I've always asked students about AI, but I keep changing it. So the question I'm asking, number three, you may have used AI for a lot of different things in the past few years.
research, advice, et cetera, et cetera. So I have two questions for you. What is something you would not use AI for? Why not? And letter B, question two, what is something you think AI is not good at? So focusing on the human side of things, right? We are still human. We are still people with brains. What is AI not so good at? So what are we still good at? However you want to think of the question.
It's up to you. So hopefully you have a good example, something interesting to talk about. And the idea, when you're preparing your answers to these questions, I hope these are your ideas. You think about the problem first. Think about your own experience, and work on it on your own. Of course you're going to think in Korean first, of course. And the next step would be, okay, put it into English, try to make an English version of it. Okay, and then as you're making your answer...
and making it nice and full and complete. Then towards the end, towards the end, you want to use some AI to help polish your ideas or to formulate the sentence in a different way to get natural expressions. Yeah, sure, then AI is a good tool to use. What's the general rule, my general belief? Don't start with AI. Never start with AI. Start with the brain first. Struggle with the problem, come up with something good, have a draft first, work on a draft first, your own version.
And then you can fine-tune it, fine-tune it, and polish it with a little bit of AI. That's OK. I cannot stop you in that sense. But I do encourage you to work on the problem first. So the first interviews will start in two weeks. So I'll show you the schedule after. Even though you might be very late, like in November or December, still, it's good to start thinking about it now. Just be thinking about it every day a little bit. And then slowly start writing your sentences, writing your answers.
And then the really important thing is practice, practice, practice. So yeah, I will ask you all these questions, as well as follow-up questions for some of them. So think about the possible follow-up questions. That's how you can really prepare for the interview, is to think about what you might ask for further questions. The interviews will take no longer than five minutes. I hope, sometimes it goes to six or seven, but I'll try to keep it to five minutes. Of course, answer in full sentences only, right? You prepare answers.
hand, in case it wasn't clear, you can't have any sheet of paper. There's no notes or paper that you can have with you. All the preparation is in there, and you're ready to deliver it on your interview date. All right, so what am I looking for, for a good grade? Practice, practice, so that you can deliver your answers quite smoothly, quite comfortably, at a good speed?
So there isn't too much thinking or pauses, not too many pauses. That's something I'm really listening for. And in the fine-tuning phase, if you want to use some speech generator, AI speech generator, to listen to an AI voice reading your example, and then you can try to imitate or mimic the AI voice, that's okay too. There's many different things for that. I'm sure Chachapiti can do that. Maybe the paid version is required to do it a lot. You might run out of your quota in a day.
There's also something called Natural Reader you can try, which is okay. I'll just put that there. There might be some better ones though. Natural Reader. It's called Natural Reader. An AI generating voice. Good for practice. You can have it read something for you. The other good ways to practice. Other good ways. Other good ways to practice and prepare.
your interviews is to practice it in front of the person. You can do it in that person, and then move on to a real person, right? Yeah, I mean, this is not a presentation, right? It's not a presentation, so you're not standing in front of everyone. But you are sitting in front of me, so maybe that will still be a thing that makes you nervous, that can be a little scary or intimidating, or it shouldn't be.
So practicing first with another person, that'll help you, that'll help you calm down and relax and give you answers. So who is that real person? A friend, your brother, your sister, your mom, your dad? I think it's better. Alright, so the schedule, in case you haven't seen, right? Randomly made, I use a rambler generator. We're starting October 6th. So people who are first, sorry, it's difficult, I know, but people who are first, you've got to start soon, right? I know that this is a break already. I think you're anxious to break. I like it. I like it.
get down to work and the people who are further down further down on the schedule don't wait too long it's good to start early it's good to start early and be better prepared we have no program this is our last class December 1st
All right, any questions about the interviews, questions about the questions, any questions? Where do we do the interviews? We do the interviews in the classroom. So for us, it's going to be around 5.15, around 5.15, 5.20, I'll start the interviews. And they'll be in the classroom. I'll probably set up in the corner. I'll put two desks in that corner.
it that way. And I'll do the interviews there. During that time, everyone else is here and everyone else is working on a problem in the book or working on an exercise together with a partner. Yeah, I don't want to take time to go somewhere else for the interview and I want to do it. Class time, that's fair. I don't want to waste more time. So it happens during class time. So those people who go first, it's very strange to do it first, but don't worry. Other students will get used to it. Other students are not listening. Other students are working on something from the book.
All right, any questions about the internet? We may have questions coming up soon, right, after Chusev, if a question comes to asking.
If a question comes, you want to email. So, let's continue. Yeah, let's have one more. This is number four. What page was this? The last thing we did last week, page nine, right? All the way back page nine. We had the sentence, right? Someone has, my partner has so much something, an unfathomable thing. So, we had these examples, some homework, some stress.
How about one more, let's just have one more so that we can continue from there. Not our class name. Oh, is it? Thank you. Oh, which one did I just throw? I'm not here in the right one. Oh, one. Okay, that was the wrong one. Thank you. Yeah, that was the wrong one. That would have been really fun. Going randomly to the wrong people. Thank you.
Okay, so one more question. One more answer. Your partner. What does your partner have so much hair? Jimin, right? How about Jie, right? So about your partner, Jie? Jie has so much hair that she's always frustrated about. Jie has so much hair that she is always frustrated about.
Okay. Is that true? Do you find your hair frustrating? The hair that's on your head or the hair that falls out? The one that falls out. Yeah, that's what I probably guessed, what you're talking about. But she's always frustrated with it when it falls out. Not always. We'll say some. When some of it falls out. Yeah, hair. Yeah, we don't count hair. Hair is also uncountable. Good uncountable.
How do we count a hair? A, if we say, mm, of hair, like, what do I call it in English? What is it? The counting word. So our uncountables, we want to have a counting word. What is it for a hair? Because of an S. The, oh, what is it? Close, very close. S-T-R. It's true. It's true.
A strand of hair, right? One piece. We don't really say a piece of hair, just a strand of hair. Lesson D, we don't do. You skip it. Lesson D, we don't do. Video General. So, let's start. Unit 2. All right, like we have always been doing. Well, just a few times.
So, let's describe our picture in the Torah-Speed Web. So, we have the title, UN2, The Mind's Eye. This will maybe become clearer later. The Mind's Eye and Me. It's kind of like how the mind is thinking about or seeing things that maybe aren't there, or thinking about or seeing things that are not on the surface. We talk about subconscious, right? Subconscious things that are happening in our brain without our control. It's kind of what we will talk about in the sections coming up. The picture is like a metaphor, like a symbol maybe for this kind of subconscious process.
because there's something here, but it's kind of hard to see, right? That's the idea. So let's talk about the picture. What can I write here? Oh, I hope none of you are ornithophobic. Nice fancy word. If anyone has a fear of birds, that's ornithophobic. I hope no one is too afraid. I hope you can look at this picture. My wife could not. My wife closed the book. She hates birds, all birds. She does not want to see a bird. So try to describe the picture following our tele-speaking format, right? The general sentence, this is a picture of what? What do we have here? The main thing, our descriptive sentences. What can you see? What is there? This picture is not such a great example because it's, wow, so close, right? There's no depth. We are right in front of it, so no background, no format.
That's okay. We can talk about the details in the picture. Talk about shapes, colors, textures, things like that. See if we can make some sentences to really describe all the features. And then at the end, a concluding sentence, right? How does it make you feel? What do you think about when you see this? What do you think about this kind of bird? Anything as a concluding thought? A nice individual idea to show some personality? It's good for the concluding sentence.
