W12-Evaluation

   

     In order to enhance the learning content more impressively, one of the procedures of our learning project is to have an evaluation in the very last of our course. The content of the evaluation test is based on "good expressions" on our blog, which aims to evaluate if we effectively absorb the pragmatic expressions. We picked up six sentences for each other to check if we understand the meaning or not. 

Nicole's questions: 

1. The numbers back up the surge in spending over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

2. If we just go over the cliff and let those policies stay in effect, we're basically gonna undo the recovery.  (繼續生效)

3. The company has brought that experience to life. (把...實現) 

4. CEO Howard Schultz spills the beans on starbucks' international ambition.  (走漏消息)

5. Others manage to contain their excitement. (抑制)
6. A city to savor (細細品嚐,慢慢享受)

Lilian's questions: 

1. outsmart以智取勝
2. 2. GoldenEye engendered a new regime of gender equality in the office with Miss Moneypenny firing the first warning shot across Bond's bows. 
(開啟了一個新的...時代；發出警告) 
3. This is coming on the heels of some severe flooding that happened less than a week ago.　　(緊跟在...之後) 
4. With improving political relations between Beijing and Taiwan's China-friendly president comes an economic windfall. 
(經濟上的意外收穫)　
5. Others manage to contain their excitement. (抑制)
6. I'm a singer-songwriter(創作歌手)

Reflection: 

     We both found that in order to enhance the retention memory, we need to design the evaluation part as a formative assessment, such as once a month, which prompts us to keep reviewing the good expressions more frequently.
