Learning Strategy 学习技巧
Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective.
The learning strategy for this lesson is identify problems. When we are talking with someone in English it helps to identify problems in understanding and get the information we need to correct the problems.
本课学习技巧是发现问题。用英语跟别人交流是，发现问题有助于理解并掌握信息，以便解决问题。
In the video for this lesson, there are three problems. Here are two of them.
本课出现了三个问题。其中两个是：
1. Anna identifies one problem. Pete is not talking loud enough. She tells Pete. "Sorry, I can’t hear you." Pete speaks more loudly so she can hear him.
第一，Anna发现，Pete讲话声音太小，她告诉Pete：“我听不见你说话"。Pete于是提高了音量。
2. Later, Pete does not understand Anna. He asks, "Do you mean drive a race car?" Anna explains that she means to "drive a taxi or drive a bus."
第二，Pete没明白Anna的意思。他问道：”你是说开赛车吗？“ Anna解释说，她是指开出租车或是开公车。
Can you find another time in the video when Anna or Pete identifies a problem? Write to us in the Comments section or send us an email. Teachers, see the Lesson Plan for more details on teaching this strategy.
