Exercise B
Submit in pdf format to Avenue by 11:00 pm, Wednesday February 1.
Question 1
(yes, this question is part of the exercise and counts for completeness)
Look back at the previous exercise and at the feedback on it. You can find the feedback
document in last week’s Avenue content, directly below the exercise document. How do your
answers compare with the feedback?
a. If you didn't do the exercise last week, which of the questions looks the hardest
to you? What questions do you have about the feedback?
b. If you did do the exercise, which questions did you get wrong? Which one was
the hardest? Do you understand the feedback?
c. If you did the exercise and all your answers match the feedback answers, write a
sentence here to indicate that.
I did the exercise and my feedback matches the answers.
d. If you still have questions, post them to the discussion board!
Question 2
This question is based on the recordings at this website: CBC Toronto The Accent Effect.
Listen to the audio recordings of each of the speakers, Peter, Roger and Camille. Write down
your expectations of each person before clicking on their pictures. Then, once you've clicked on
the pictures of each, write down your reaction -- did your expectations match the picture, or
mismatch? Why do you think this is? What experiences have you had (e.g., where you've lived,
what languages you know, etc.) that led to your expectations?
Peter (before the picture): british accent, blonde hair, blue eyes, tall
Peter (after the picture): my reaction was that I was completely off, I was imagining a
completely different person and a complete different physical appearance. This was because of
his accent and my knowledge of people with this accent.
Roger (before the picture): dark skinned guy, dreads or twisted hair
Roger (after the picture): roger looked different than I expected. Hearing the jamaican accent I
immediately thought he would be a dark skinned man with dreads because of the stereotype of
a jamaican person.
