Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective.
The learning strategy for this lesson is Asking Questions to Clarify. When we try to get more information we ask clarification questions. The information may help us to better understand others.
本课的学习技巧是通过问问题来澄清信息。
In this lesson, Anna asks Amelia to clarify. Amelia says, "Anna, you look … different." Anna thinks she looks great. She tells Amelia about the new hair product: "Thanks! I used a new product called Hair Be Good."
本课中，Anna让Amelia说得更具体些。Amelia说，“Anna, 你看起来跟往常不太一样。” Anna觉得自己看起来很不错，她告诉Amelia自己用的新护发产品。Anna说，“谢谢！我用了一种名叫’让头发好起来‘的新的护发产品。”
When Amelia says, "Well, it’s not," Anna asks a question to clarify: "It’s not what?" Amelia clarifies, or explains her meaning: "Good. Your hair does not look good."
Amelia却说，“不是的。” Anna问，“不是什么？” 让Amelia说得明白些。Amelia解释说，“不好，你头发看起来不太好。”
