Our expert today is Sally Parker, who is a teacher. Hi Sally.S: Hello.P: Sally, our first question today is from Andy. He says, “Ive just started learning English. My problem is that Im too frightened to speak. My grammar is not very good, so Im worried about saying the wrong thing.” Have you got any advice for Andy?S: OK. Well, the first thing is I think Andy should practice speaking to himself.P: Speaking to himself? Im not sure thats a good idea.S: I know it sounds silly, but talking to yourself in a foreign language is a really good way to practice. You dont have to feel embarrassed, because nobody can hear you. You can talk to yourself about anything you like what you had for breakfast, where youre going for the weekend anything. And the more you do it, the more you will get used to hearing your own voice and your pronunciation, so you wont feel so frightened in the classroom. Andy should try it.P: Hm, I suppose so. Anything else? What about his grammar?S: He has only just started learning English, so he is going to make lots of mistakes, but thats nota problem. Thats how hell learn. Andy shouldnt worry about making mistakes.P: Youre right. So Andy, try talking to yourself, and dont worry about making mistakes. Our next problem comes from Olivia in Brazil. She is worried about pronunciation. She says, “The problem is I cant understand native speakers. They speak so fast and I cant understand their pronunciation.” So Sally, any ideas for Olivia?S: Well, first of all its a good idea for her to practice her listening skills. She should listen to English as much as possible to get used to how it sounds. Listen to the news, listen to podcasts, (and) watch English television.P: OK thats a good idea.S: And another thing she should do is to focus on listening and reading at the same time. If you listen to something on the Internet, you can often read the transcript. If you listen and read at the same time, itll help you see what the words sound like and how the words sound when a native speaker is talking.P: Great. Thank you, Sally. Well, huh, Im afraid thats all we have time for today, but next week well be ViewingScriptsN = Narrator; I = Ian Deary; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.N: Recent research into the history of IQ tests in Scotland suggests your IQ score might predict, to an extent at least, your health and even your life expectancy.W1: You have 45 minutes to do the test, OK?M1: OK.N: Bill and Davina are 79 years old. This is the second time theyve done this test. The first time was in 1932, when every 11-year-old in Scotland was put through an intelligence test. Its the only time this kind of mass testing has ever been done in the UK. The results were rediscovered recently in an Edinburgh basement. If you want to know how our intelligence changes as we get older, these results are a potential goldmine.I: We brought hundreds of people back and we got them to sit the exact same test that they had sat when they were aged 11. Now, these people are now 79 or 80 years old. We gave the same instructions. We gave the same test. And we gave the same time limit.M2: It was a little stickier than I thought it would be.M3: I walked through it quite happily, quite honestly.W2: I felt I must have been very bright at 11 if I sat that exam and passed.N: There were some intriguing results. Almost everyone had a better score at 80 than they did at11. But some had gone from being just averagely intelligent to a much higher level.I: Now, thats what really drives our research. Were interested in: Why have those people whove gone (people gone) from IQ 100, at age 11, up to 110 or 120? What have they done right? What can be the recipe for successful aging? Were finding that the person with more education, even though they had the same IQ in childhood, is doing slightly better in old age, on average. The person who had a more professional job, in old age, is doing slightly better on average than the person who had a manual job, despite the fact that they started at the same level. The people who smoked have got slightly less good mental ability than you would expect.N: Whats even more remarkable is that the kids who had higher IQ scores at 11 are the very ones still alive today. So it seems high IQ in childhood is good for survival.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsA: Ah, OK, so we need to think of the best ideas for taking tests.B: Yep.A: Er, well, how about this one? Its a good idea to study with friends at the same time each day. B: Mm, in my opinion, this is a really good idea. You can make it a regular part of your daily life. A: You mean like having breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, studying at the same time.B: Yes. And also I think it helps when you study with friends.A: Yeah, I, I think its more motivating.
