Örök inspiráció: Mr. Bean, akit nem gyakran hallunk beszélni, de ha Ő egyszer kinyitja a száját, akkor már szakértőként szólal meg. Hallgassuk meg, műértőként mit mond a következő, roppant értékes festményről egy rangos eseményen és közben töltsük ki beszéde hiányzó elemeit. Have fun! :)A FELADATOT A LENTI KÉPRE VAGY IDE KATTINTVA INTERAKTÍVAN IS MEGOLDHATOD ONLINE !!"Dr. Bean, great English arts scholar is here to speak for a few minutes (not too long, Doctor!) on the subject of our new purchase. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. Bean of the National Gallery London."(APPLAUSE) Mr. Bean:"Mmmm. Ah, ah. Well. Hello, I'm Dr. Bean. __________(1). And and my job is to sit and look at paintings. So, er...what have I __________(2) that I can say about this painting? Uhm. Well...well, firstly, it's quite big, which is excellent. Because if it __________(3) really small, you know, microscopic, then __________(4) anybody would be able to see it. Which would be a tremendous __________(5). Uhm...Secondly, and I'm getting quite near the end now of this... analysis... of this painting...secondly, why was it __________(6) this man here spending fifty million of your American dollars on this portrait? And the answer is, er.. well...this picture is worth __________(7) a lot of money because... it's a ... picture ... of Whistler's ... mother. And as I've learnt by staying with my best friend David Langley and his family, families are very important. And even __________(8) Mr. Whistler was perfectly __________(9) that his mother was a hideous old bat who looked like she'd had a cactus lodged up her __________(10), he stuck with her, and even took the time to paint this amazing picture of her. It's not just a painting. It's a picture of a mad old __________(11) who he thought the world of. And that's __________(12)... Well, that's what I think." |
Véletlenül figyeltem fel erre a hölgyeményre a YouTube-on, akit az internet már úgynevezett "truthbomb Mom"-ként tart számon, és túlzás nélkül állíthatom, ez a nő nagyon nagy arc! Az esze a helyén van, szerintem, a szíve meg persze a száján! :) Tetszik, ahogy a rohanó világunkban Ő mer szemben úszni az árral és nyíltan vállalja, hogy számára nem mások elvárásai állítják fel a prioritásokat. Az egyik számomra legélvezetesebb eszmefuttatásából készítettem számotokra egy LISTENING FELADATot, amelyben azt fejtegeti, mi vitte rá arra a régen halogatott, felháborító , roppant nehéz dilemmát és lelkiismeretfurdalást okozó, egyben hatalmas sikerélménnyel járó tettre, hogy végre NEM-et merjen mondani.A hiányos szöveget (12 gaps=12 words) egészítsétek ki a poszt alján található videó meghallgatásának segítségével ! Have fun!
A FELADATOT A FENTI KÉPEKRE VAGY IDE KATTINTVA INTERAKTÍVAN IS MEGOLDHATOD ONLINE !!You guys, I said "NO" today - to an adult! A nice adult, who was asking me to __________(1) to yet another 'thing'. See, over the years, I've gotten sucked into committing to so many 'things' that I didn't have time or energy for, but while I planned on saying no, when my opened my mouth, my vocal cords __________(2) me, and I came "Yees, of course! I'd love to..!" But not today! Today, I said "NO"!The nice adult asked "Hey, Kristina, can you help us with this event by doing such and such and such and such and such?", and I said "No, thank you so much for thinking of me and asking me, but NO."Now, this is where I pretend that you are __________(3) me. You have leaped out of you seats giving me a standing ovation, you are cheering, you are screaming my name, you are throwing flowers on stage at me, you are possibly even throwing your undergarments at me, because you are __________(4) of how hard it is to ignore the guilt and the pressure and just say "NO". Especially, when the people asking are really nice people with really good __________(5)...but I did it! I said "NO".Saying that "NO" was kind of like the first time I tried sushi. I was nervous about it, it was __________(6) but then once I took a bite of that spicy tuna roll, I was like "WOW! That is amazing in my mouth!" That's how that "NO" tasted in my mouth: AMAZING. And I will be trying it again, and again.Now, in my opinion, "NO" is a full __________(7). It does not require comma or a 'because', it is just beautiful on its own. But regardless, I will tell you why I finally said "NO":NO, because I am at my limit.NO, because my __________(8) is full. Full, like this full. Not full like this full. If I'd wanted my plate to be this full, I would have had like 38 more children. But I'm good with this.NO, because I refuse to live in constant busyness AND I refuse to __________(9) to the glorification of constant busyness. You know what you should put on a pedestal instead of busyness? REST! Rest __________(10) to be put on a pedestal!NO, because yes, without even more stress to my already stressed-out life, and then I may __________(11) take that stress out on my children, or my husband. Because, let's be honest: the easiest targets are the people closest to us. Not good.NO, because it finally clicked for me that saying "NO" doesn't make me a bad person, or a selfish person, or a BITCH. And if you think it does, still "NO".NO, because me being emotionally and mentally healthy is way more important than me being liked by everyone.And NO, because having at least ten minutes a day to sit with my feet up, eating carbs and doing seemingly absolutely nothing important is actually very important. And way __________(12) in our culture.So, thank you so much for asking.. but "NO".No, no, "NO"!
