COMVERSACIONES EN INGLES DEL ESTUDIO

Answer 1

MARK: Hi, my name’s Mark and I’m sitting here with Tom. Hi Tom!
TOM: Hello Mark! Today we’re sitting in Ciudadella Park, again, in Barcelona, surrounded[1] by the noisy parrots[2] that you might be able to hear all around us…
MARK: Again…
TOM: Again. Uh…I think they’re fighting[3] over something. Today we’re gonna talk all about education. Now, education in this sense…uhh…the, the sense that we’re gonna talk about is “the process by which a society deliberately[4] transmits its accumulated knowledge[5], skills[6] and values from one generation to another”. So let’s talk a little bit about the history of education first. Uh…how, how were people first educated?
MARK: By imitation. In pre…prehistoric societies the, the younger generation would watch what the adults did and copy; so for example, hunting[7], fire making[8], things like that, like literally ‘watch and learn[9]’…
TOM: Yeah, so it’s kind of specialist skills taught orally[10] as well, wasn’t it? So they didn’t write anything down[11], and then at about three thousand five hundred B.C. so over five thousand yewers…years ago when writing was invented, it meant that they could record stories[12] and beliefs[13] and poetry[14] and so on and…and customs[15] and pass them on[16] in a written way. Uh… some of the earliest universities; do you know what they are?
MARK: Uhh….
TOM: You do cos I told you! [Tom laughs]
