05:40Valky, in front of the students you have to call me Mr. Appleton.
05:44Mr. Appleton?
05:51Mr. Appleton.
05:54I am his cousin.
05:56Can I call you Cousin Larry at home?
06:01I was going to talk to you about my professional past.
06:06Excuse me.
06:06Yeah?
06:07Will this be on the final exam?
06:08No.
06:16Okay, going back to my experience.
06:20For the past two years, I have been collaborating daily on the development of one of the
06:27America's best newspapers, the Chicago Chronicle.
06:29I can confirm that. He works in the basement with me.
06:32In recent months, I have worked with the investigative journalism team that
06:41won a Pulitzer Prize formed by Marshall and Walpole.
06:44And listen to this. Not only do they sometimes let him write, but they also ask him to go and buy things for them.
06:48lunch every day.
06:51AND...
06:51And they are never wrong.
06:53I don't know how he does it.
06:54Except for that one time he messed up the salad.
06:56She bought one that had a kitchen.
06:58Sorry.
06:58I am the teacher.
07:05You, the student.
07:06I speak.
07:08You listen.
07:10Just like at home.
07:14Still.
07:17Good.
07:18For the first assignment, I want you to describe any event that you see
07:23or listen to it in the coming days as if it were a newspaper article.
07:27To help you, I've prepared this concise and easy-to-read 47-page guide on how
07:33write an article.
07:36Excuse me.
07:37Will this be on the final exam?
07:40Yeah.
07:41Okay.
07:44He seems tough now, but when you get to know him you'll see that...
07:49It's a piece of bread.
07:57Cousin, cousin, do you think this is good enough for my article?
08:07I just saw a cloud in the sky that was like a bass drum.
08:10What if I've seen one just like Sibyl the shepherd?
08:23Valky, I think you're going to have to look for something more important.
08:26But what, cousin?
08:27That?
08:27I've been searching for days and haven't found anything.
08:31I'm going crazy like a monkey.
08:35Come on, cousin.
08:37Didn't you want to give me a tiny, small, and light idea?
08:45Valky, it would be unfair to the other students in the class who gave you special treatment.
08:51But, cousin, I want my article to be the best in the class.
08:57Come on, cousin, just give me a little one.
09:01Just, just let her out.
09:05Let her out.
09:14Pi, pi, pi.
09:16Think of something that travels down the nerves in the brain and suddenly comes out.
09:22This way, this way.
09:23Please, cousin, just a tiny one.
09:28No.
09:33Happens.
09:36Hello!
09:37Welcome home!
09:40Welcome home!
09:41Hi, Larry.
09:42You won't believe what happened on our flight.
09:44There's been a fight.
09:45A fight on the plane?
09:47Yes, some people who were in the non-smoking area started smoking.
09:50And some of the non-smokers got angry.
09:52And suddenly everyone started screaming.
09:54The food was flying through the air.
09:56What a story!
10:05Exciting news.
10:07Don't you think it's exciting, Valky?
10:12Do you have a tic?
10:15Valky is looking for a news story for my journalism class.
10:21And I can't find any for...
10:23I could write about the fight on the plane.
10:31That's not a bad idea.
10:35Valky, you have a good nose for news.
10:37My nose is the pride of my voice.
10:51Do you want to rate my article?
10:52Valky, no.
10:53I just got back from class.
10:55I really don't feel like rating your work.
10:57Oh, cousin, please, please rate my work.
11:00Please, please, please, please, please.
11:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
11:05Please.
11:06OK.
11:06Good heavens, how tiresome!
11:09Beautiful.
11:28It can also be used as a tambourine.
11:35My teachers raise my grade for presentations.
11:46Valky, why don't you find something to do while I grade your work?
11:51I understand now.
11:55You don't want me to pressure you.
11:59Well, I'll be, I'll be dusting around there a bit.
12:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
12:51I thought you were dusting over there
13:01And do I dust over there?
13:12I'm finished
13:13Cousin, I'm so nervous
13:17How did I do?
13:21Okay, Valky, remember this is your first job.
13:24Oh! I, I, I want a 10
13:28But I know this is the first time I've tried to write an article
13:35And there's probably room for improvement.
13:40So I'll get used to living with a 9
13:51One, two?
14:03I'm sorry, Valky, but there were fundamental errors
14:08I know you're a little disappointed
14:11Think
14:13What is a growth experience?
14:16Will I grow more because of this?
14:18No
14:18No, I mean
14:23We often learn more from failure than from success
14:26Can I learn less if you give me a 5?
14:29No
14:29Valky
14:33I know I have used very high standards.
14:35But I demand everything from my students
14:38If you try hard
14:41Someday I'll return the favor with an outstanding piece of work.
14:44And that will mean something.
14:46Well, I guess it'll be worth the effort
14:50That's ok
14:54Friend
14:55Keep that in mind when you're writing
15:10Don't forget it
15:11When you want to organize a complicated and long sentence
15:14Use the semicolon
15:17Perhaps this is what you need
15:22To save the article
15:24Good
15:31Before time runs out
15:33Valky
15:34Can you help me distribute the items I requested?
15:39Valky
15:40Cousin
15:43As a student with a 2
15:45I am not qualified to assign the jobs
15:48Valky
15:48You are not a student with a 2
15:50Oh, no?
15:51You are a good student
15:52He did a bad job
15:54Return the jobs or we grow old together
15:59Well
16:04I have observed a lot of potential in your work
16:09But the truth is, you still have a lot of room for improvement.
