civic jingle- transcript and translation

By Birgit:

 

I think he's saying "tengo una espinita que marca mi huella, tengo
una espinita que canta al dolor [lo canto??? aún]
¿Pa qu?pa qu?seguir llorando pa qu?
??? la puerta y ver?br> ??? la puerta. Oyele.

Tener una espinita clavada means that something is tormenting you
Marcar la huella is to leave tracks

(meaning that the he's got a thorn in his side (figuratively
referring to his sorrow???) which doesn't let him live, it follows
him like a shadow (in his footsteps) or possibly leaves its tracks
on his heart??? and sings of/to his pain ???)

By Andy and his staff:

 

Hi Aiden:

Well we certainly have a large Mexican staff in our Technology Center in Chicago
and I've had a number of them listen intently to the recording. The consensus
is, this is Spanish from somewhere in the Caribbean, perhaps Puerto Rico.
Peinita is one word not found in the various states of Mexico.
"Whatever this "Peinita" that marks my footsteps and I have the same "Peinita"
that marks my pain. There is no use in crying."
Tell Miki you do have friends and they do come through for you, albeit not
perfectly.
Happy Holidays'
Andy Pincon

By Maria:

 

Tengo una espinita que amarca? Mi huella
Yo tengo una espinita que canta? el dolor, lo canto?
Pa qu?pa qu?seguir llorando pa qu?
La ??.la puerta? Oyele


---

I have a little thorn that ..... my footstep
I have a little thorn that sings? hurt, I sing it?
Why crying? why?
The....... door? Listen!

civic jingle

Dear Maria, Birgit and Andy,

 

[hugs] Thanks so much for taking the time to listen, transcribe and translate the lyrics of the civic jingle. Andy, please thank your staff for me. This was beyond their call of duty :-) I will be collecting all these and will give them to Miki. I think he'll be very happy with this [I mean, who wouldn't?]  This is one kind of a gift this holiday season.

 

Thanks again, Webheads, you're heaven sent.

 

Cheers,

 

Aiden

husband needs help

Ok, I got your attention;-)

What is this hullabaloo about?

If you speak spanish [either from Spain or Mexico or any other country where spanish is spoken], then you could help me. A matter of sanity [mine exactly, not Miki's]

If you don't, you could either delete this message or read [and listen] and join in.

Ad jingle

Miki saw a TV commercial [Civic commercial] from funnyplace.org and I guess, the music got into him. He could not figure out what it says but he insists that it's something sad and emotional.

Tech Stuff

He asked me to convert the file to .wav so he could save it on a CD and listen to it. Yes, 12 tracks of the same song! Crazy? You bet! Obsessed? Definitely! I did what he asked me to do. Now he's asking me to transcribe and translate the song. I could understand a few words but he wants 'sentences' and 'meanings'.

Webheads to the Rescue

Maria was online at the time I was scouting for a Spanish webhead. 'sent her the file, and listened to it. Now, we found out that it's Mexican spanish, so there were some words that were difficult to understand.

Miki's getting real pushy. i told him, I can't write to Webheads because of this song?! He says "why not? That's what friends are for, right?" Remember the phrase, "The Look", well, he flushed his one of a kind look, and so, here I am, writing, bugging webheads to help on a certainly "off-topic' matter.

What To do

I will be uploading the .wav file to our YG and will inform everyone. Click 'open' to listen or you can just go to eveonline2002_webheads yahoogroups and go to files section and open the file.
I'll be creating a temprary folder for this which I will soon delete as soon as I get the translation.

I hope that some of you could help me on this. [mik just turned off the cd-which had been playing since dinner time] Thank God!

If there's a sound track [complete version] please let me know. Name of artist would also be great. Transcription in spanish would be awesome. translation [i could use google]

Thanks in advance webheads.

Aiden
p.s.
if you truly love someone you'd do anything- no matter how crazy that is. I guess, if Miki's nuts, that makes me 'nuttier'- duh?

Comments on architecture students presentations

Hi Daf,

Your students did great. I'm suprised when you said that they did their ppt on
the last minute. It looked like they were all well-prepared. The photos on their
ppts were not only visually attractive but they also helped the audience
understand better the content of their presentation.

The following are my comments/suggestions, please feel free to pass them on to
your students:

1) name the slides
2) for the presenter- introduce self briefly before jumping onto the
presentation material
3) For each group, the first presenter should state an outline of what they're
group is going to present and who's going to present what, this way the audience
know what to expect from their presentation

4) They were well-prepared and despite experiencing some language problems they
were able to show credibility
5) they know what they're talking about and this obviously show that they're
work is well-researched
6) they were quick to answer questions
7) they acknowledge feedback from the audience
8) Overall, they did great. It's difficult to present in 2 environments, f2f and
online, and your students pulled it through

Problem on my end

I had been having connection problems for weeks until this afternoon. Buffalo,
the air station I'm using, seemed to be reading other people's internet access
points. I get different signals and that's when windows shut off my internet
access. I had to log in several times- and it was really a bummer. I think this
was the reason why I lost my recording. And this somehow pushed me to nag Miki
this morning and told him that he's got to fix it or else...He fixed it alright,
and that's why I was able to join Bee's students without losing my connection-
and for once, it felt good :-)

Anyway, it's midnight here and time for my beauty sleep (see, John, vanity can
be contagious)

Bee and Chris, I'll send my feedback tomorrow.

Tah-tah,

aiden

Re: [evonline2002_webheads] Pages on tutor mentor conference

Bee, Daf, Karen, Andy and all those who participated in this activity,

 

Thanks for sharing this! This is really impressive. I'm collecting all these wonderful pages created, specially those on online conferences, and I'll be sharing them with other PG students in Birmingham [who vehemently oppose online conferences].

 

Anyway, you were all great:-)

 

Congratulations again.

 

Hip Hip Hooray!

It would be nice if you do your own way of grading us based on the proceedings of our research paper.  It sounds more reasonable to test us "on how well we have applied what we learned."  It is my opinion.  Thank you.

Re: ¦^«H: what to bring to class on 10/27

OK, I was just asking about the quiz. I wasn't sure if there's any- now if there isn't any- fine- that's good- I think :-)

 

The previous professor of this course gave quizzes [every chapter] and both midterms and final tests based on the lectures.

 

I have two chocies, one: follow what the other professor did, or two: do it my own way with your [all of you] approval, that is, you will be graded based on the proceedings of your research paper.

 

You're now about to write notes based on your chosen materials and I think when midterms comes you will be at the introduction stage already. I could use this as basis for your midterm grades. Instead of testing you on how well you memorized your textbook, I would, on the other hand, test you on how well you have applied what you have learned in class [the practical approach]. Are you with me on this?

 

Take a vote. You decide. Let me know.

Dear Aiden,
Appreciating your comment, but I don't remember that you ever told us there will be a quiz in our class!
Researching writing is a tough mission for me. Since I survived the big operation last May, I started to get information related to my cancer, and according to my investigation, this kind of cancer would be recur in 5 years if I keep on receiving the hospital treatment. I have to find the other ways to treat my disease by myself. That¡¦s why I have so many books in my house. Now I¡¦m working on collecting information from my books that are all in my bookshelves.
My first problem is that I didn¡¦t take the course which is related to writing skills last semester, and this year is my second year in Wenzao. All my references are from Chinese books, that means on the hand I collect the references, the other hand I have to translate every paragraphs into English, and I¡¦m just taking the elective course, the basic translation strategies, this semester.
The second question is that some of my Chinese books were translated from English original, can you provide the APA reference style for that kind of books? I¡¦m not clear about the form.
Thirdly, what kind of quiz or midterm will be suited for the researching writing? I¡¦m worry about the achieved percentage of my scheduled, how can I deal with the quiz? I don¡¦t think I have spare time for that.

Thanks and Best Regards,

NKFUST Listening class presentation postponed to 10/11

group presentation postponed to October 11
I've decided to postpone your class presentation to October 11. I hope that this will give you ample time to prepare for your project. As this is a major presentation, I want you all to prepare and do a good job.

I am forwarding url links about famous explorers. Plese use them well. I also suggest that you go to the library and do a little research about the person that you're going to report about.

In addition, I'd like to remind you to prepare a listening worksheet for your classmates based on the material that you're going to present. The questions or items on the worksheet should look something like the listening activity that we have in our book.

Can you please let me know if you are amenable with the change of schedule?

You may post your responses on our blog at http://nkfustlistening.blogspot.com/

Please let me know soon.

We will proceed with the lesson on October 4, Unit 2. Crime.

Academic writing Yahoogroups for my Research Writing class at wen zao

Some of you had already submitted your first assignment on choosing a topic and asking relevant research questions. I'd be posting my comments on your work by tuesday. Please be reminded that the forum for your first assignment will be closed by Wednesday 9/29.

The forum is at http://pub45.bravenet.com/forum/3789113403/fetch/359987/

Some of you also had subscribed to academic_writing at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/academic_writing/ . Thanks for your short self-introduction. To make the onliine exercises at academic_writing work for you, please start with the Paragraph_structure folder [in the FILES Area]. Read the TUTORIAL first before taking the online exercises. You can take the exercises again and again until you're sstisfied with your scores. New sets of questions are given, and the exercises are jumbled so you don't get to do the same exercises.

Please write a short feedback after you've receive your scores and post your feedback at academic writing's yahoogroups.



Let me know if you have any other questions.

Aiden Yeh

========================================================

For sample feedback:

It went pretty well in the beginning, but I was mislead by the Grub
Gulch topic, it appears that I jumped to conclusions a bit too soon.

The reason why I jump to conclusion that soon was because of the
constant wording that was connected with memories. I got confused by
sentence,"The town where I grew up" mainly the grow up part. Then the
words, "I will never forget", "will last forever". All these words
had connections with memories.

=========================================================
This test is not difficult actually, but I was confused sometimes.
I chose the wrong "TOPIC" for the paragraph that talks about the
hometown of the author. HAHA~ Reading the paragraph again and seeing
the analysis, then I realized "Grub Gulch" is the topic for the
paragraph~~

NSYSU Oral Training 2

It's the first day of school in NSYSU. We had a meeting at 12:15 noon but I was 15 minutes late. It's a good thing that they still were having lunch when I arrived. It took about another 5 minutes before the meeting actually kicked off.

My 3-hour Oral Training 2 course went fine. It was a long class, but somehow I got the feeling that I'm going to like this class. For one, the students are smart and they look pretty responsible and diligent. That's a good start. Secondly, they speak English well. Although there were some mistakes [mostly lexical] they were however conscious of using the correct grammatical form. So, that's OK, too.

Tomorrow, I'll be teching Oral Training 1 for 1st year students also at NSYSU, and I'm not exactly sure what my students will be like. One assurance that I get is the fact that this university is a good university, it's a National university and it's difficult to get in. Those who get in are considered excellent students. So, isn't that reassuring?

Gotta go. I still have to prepare my syllabus for Language and Culture.

Aiden

Blogger Blast!

New semester. New classes. New students. New tools. E-tools-that is. I've decided not to create a Yahoogroups for my classes this school year and instead, try out blogs. I'll report here, every now and then, what's cooking in my classes. I just hope that my students will be nice and won't make my blood boil. I'll also create quick links on the dashboard to easily access my classes' blogs. I hope that this will work out.
