To figure out the Difference between BIG ａｎｄ ＬＡＲＧＥ (revised)
From the column, you will find out that " big " is more often used in the colloquial than in the written system. However, "large" is opposed to " big" . Also, you can find that both of them can be used in countable noun or uncountable . " big " is frequently appeared in the daily conversation, and "large" is quite used in the formal occasion, for instance, in writting to describe the scale, degree, amount, and so on.
#6 Feedbcak of Podcast
ESL: Podcast 672---asking for more time
Podcast 677---Eating a picky Eater
Vocabularies Sharing (asking for more time)
Status : current situation
on / behind/ ahead of schedule
grant something to someone: means giving a permission
top: at least, most.
snag: problem
coming to a grinding halt: totally, completely, and quickly stop (it often used to describe a project or process, not a real motion)
my head is on the chopping block: at a risk if fail to finish something supposed to do
all too well: understand it clearly
to spell it out: one means spare something, or there is no need to explain in detail
(Feeding a picky eater)
it's only fair: it 's just
you bet : of course
interesting : it can mean you dont' like it but want to maintain polite
acquired taste: it is not suitable for my taste
whip up: cook something quickly'
fussy: ticky, difficult to please
into : until
Actually, I have never been used this site before, but it is really help for ESL students, especially for beginners. After listening these two podcasts, I find it not only tell you the new words, but also teach you other related words, how, or when to use it. For example, in the Podcast 672--Asking for more time, only " on schedule" the word appears in the dialogue. However, it tell you behind schedule and ahead of schedule, some related words so that you can broaden your vocabulary bank in a easy way. Also, it will tell you the difference among the different countries as thay say a same word. one of word is "you bet" , but in a place, the locak people say " you bet chou." quite interesting and imformative, isn't it ?
In my opinion, just i mentioned above, it must a good website for us to learn and practice our listening. Because it will read dialogue in a slow speed, and after that, explain its meaning and the words. The clear explaination and articulation are all beneficial to our learning skill. Besides, each dialogue will take you 15-20 minutes, so it will not take you too much time.
Is anyone who knows their scripts? i think although the speed is quite slow, it is better to have a script in hands, which we can mke sure everyword we hear is correct. If you know, can you tell me ? i will very appreciat your help.
