BERLIN/KaDeWe

Hier seht ihr zuerst das Bundeskanzleramt.

Auch von mir zu Berlin:http://www.langedi49.ch/langedi49/exercises_D_2.html

Vielleicht wollt ihr zuerst einige Fragen zu Berlin beantworten.

NUN ZUM KaDeWe -KAUFHAUS DES WESTENS

Da wir uns momentan in unserern Deutschtstunden über Berlin und das Einkaufen unterhalten,

habe ich nach einem Video gesucht, das uns einen Einblick in das zweitgrösste Kaufhaus Europas,

das KaDeWe, gibt.

Ich fand dieses Video von Nico sehr lustig auch, wenn ich bei weitem nicht alles verstehe. Nico

möchte auf jeden Fall ein Experiment machen. In der 6. Etage des Kaufhauses gibt es eine Art

Luxussupermarkt und dort oben möchte Nico satt werden, ohne einen Cent zu bezahlen und dies

ungeachtet, ob er den Verkäufer/innen auf die Nerven geht. Seht selbst, ob Nico sein Ziel erreicht.

Ich habe auch ein Arbeitsblatt entwickelt und bitte euch, wie folgt vorzugehen.

Workers’ protest/Arbeiter Protest in Wuhan/China

The foto shows Pudong in Shanghai.La foto va vedere Pudong a Shanghai. Auf dem Bild sehen wir Pudong in Shanghai.

I’ve read on IDG News Service

that 150 workers at the Foxconn company (Technology Group) in Wuhan, China have treatened (hanno minaciato) to jump from the building if their compensation demands were not met. I think people must really be desperate to be ready to do something like this.

und in der taz.de (auf Deutsch) steht,

dass letzte Woche sogar (persino) bis zu 300 Arbeiterinnen (lavoratrici)  der Firma TOXCONN (taiwanische  und weltgrösste Elektronikkonzern) zum Selbstmord (suicidio) bereit gewesen seien,(sarebbero stati pronte al)  wenn der Lohnkonflikt (conflitto salariale) nicht gelöst würde.(non fosse risolto) http://taz.de/Protest-von-Foxconn-Mitarbeitern/!85418/

di fare una cosa del genere.)

STEVE JOBS’ WISDOM

The other day I’ve read Steve Jobs’ Commencement address which he delivered at the Standford University in 2005.

For those who should not know it, he was CEO and co-founder (together with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne) of Apple Computer and CEO of Pixar

Animation Studios but he had never graduated from college.

Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address, posted with vodpod

What he said impressed me and I, therefore, would like to quote some sentences and I also add the link to my grammar exercise (reported speech)

which you can correct online. Just click on your trackpad and a variety of sentences will appear and you have to look for the one in reported speech 

that goes together with the one in direct speech.

http://langedi49.ch/REPORTEDSPEECH.htm

I’ve also prepared cards where the question words have to be filled in by the learner. The cards can also be cut out and students  may discuss the questions

in small groups by also deciding about the question words to use and the answers to give. STEVEJOBSQUESTIONS2

Ich versuche hier unten auch einige Zitate auf Deutsch und Italienisch zu übersetzen.

Cerco anche di tradurre alcune citazioni in italiano.

- „You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.“. (Referred to life)

Übersetzung auf Deutsch:

„Du kannst die Punkte nicht vorwärtsschauend  (im Blick auf die Zukunft)  verknüpfen, sondern nur rückwärts. „

Traduzione in italiano:

„Non puoi vedere i punti di collegamento guardando al futuro, ma soltanto guardando al passato.“

Aesop’s Fables for English learners + Deutschlerner

Aesop or Esop who lived approximately 620-584 BC was a Greek writer and a number of popular fables are attributed to him. His existence remains, however,

uncertain and no writings by him have survived. Numerous tales appearing under his name were gathered across the countries and in many languages in a storytelling

tradition to this day. In many of the tales, animals speak and have human characteristics and teach us quite a few things.

To English learner I, therefore,  heartily recommend  the following website t

http://talkingdictionary.clubefl.gr/category/aesop%E2%80%99s-fables/

hat not only  offers such stories but after having them read you can do various  exercises  by filling the missing words into the gaps.

There are also listeing comprehsensions to do.

Bloom’s taxonomy and reflective thinking

What is important when I study? Was ist wichtig, wenn ich lerne? Cosa è importante quando studio?

ENGLISH / DEUTSCH /ITALIANO

Wortschatz zum Thema Taxonomie der Lernziele innerhalb des kognitiven Bereichs (Wissen und intellektuelle Fähigkeiten) auf Deutsch, Italienisch  und Englisch findet ihr

in den Pyramiden und in den unten stehen Fragen.

Vocabolario concernente  la tassonomia degli obiettivi educativi secondo Bloom oppure la classificazione dei livelli del comportamento intelletuale nello studio 

in italiano, tedesco e inglese trovate nelle piramidi e nelle domande qui di sotto.

It was Benjamin Bloom (1956) and a committee of educators who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behaviour in learning. I think it may be interesting for teachers,

students or for employers. A revised version of taxonomy was created in 2000.

Within the cognitive domain, Bloom’s taxonomy identified the six levels  which are also explained in the video here below with the help of a drum.

Bob Dylan

This is the link to the video:http://www.timsah.com/Bob-Dylan-Mr-Tambourine-Man/eTMQrP81n27

Word explanations or translations into Italian and German see below.

As we all know that Boy Dylan is celebrating his 70th birthday I‘ve decided to publish

„MR. TAMBOURINE MAN“ which he wrote and released for the Byrd’s in 1965.

The Byrd’s recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk

rock.The song has been covered by many artists.Bob Dylan’s and the Byrd’s version of the song have appeared in various lists ranking it as the greates song ever.

Here is the link to the song‘s lyrics.

It seems that the narrators describes an early morning after a night without sleep and

he is still unable to sleep. Despite being aware of his weariness he is ready to follow

Mr. Tambourine Man.

There have been speculations that the song refers to drugs such as LSD . The lines

„take me to a trip  upon your magic swirlin ship “ or  „through the smoke rings of my mind“ in particular. make think of such a connection.

See below the link to the song.

to  have a firm grip on sth./to lose your grip	tenere fermo qc./perde controllo	etwas festhalten/ eine Situation nicht mehr im Griff haben.
numb toes	dita dei piedi che non si sentono	Zehen, die man nicht fühlt
to fade	perdere colore	farblos werden
a spell	un momento/magico	ein Moment/Zauber
a fence	una siepe	ein Zaun
a ragged clown	un pagliaccio in  vestiti da stracci	ein Clowns in kaputten Kleidern

IRAN

My friend Roesemarie was so kind to write a  summary of her  very execptional trip to Iran.

At the bottom of the page there are also some vocabulary explanations and ranslations into German and Italian.

It would be great if you partecipated in the following poll.

 

This picture from the Nasir al Molk mosque in Shiraz gave me goose pimples so I just had to put it first!

I’ve explained certain vocabulary and translated into German and Italian:

I was determined to visit Iran despite the many objections from my friends and family and the mostly negative news which reach us

daily on its political situation.  I was driven by my curiosity.  Who were these ancient and legendary people who once populated this area? 

Who were the poets who chanted its beauty, the love for nature, the search for love and the sense of being?  Where were those magic

places named Shiraz, Isfahan, Hamadan, Yazd, Persepolis?
