8 Tips to Fight Info Overload

Claire O’Connor

(with daughters Blaise, left, and Darian)

is hardly ever unreachable

1. Spot the signs.
Feel alone even as you communicate with people all day? That’s a signal technology is dominating your life.
2. Take baby steps.
Try being inaccessible for short spurts to see what happens. The world probably won’t implode.
3. Repeat these four words:
“I have a choice.” People who say, “My boss wants me to be reachable after 8 p.m.” are likely exaggerating the control others have over them.
4. Set limits.
Rein in office e-mail and instant message traffic. Who truly needs 35 daily FYIs on the Henderson case?
5. Give clear instructions.
Try an e-mail signature that reads “I answer e-mail at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. If you need a quicker response, please call.”
6. Make a task list.
If you’re interrupted, you’ll get back to work faster if you have one.
7. Stick to a schedule.
Handle recreational Web surfing and e-mail at set times. Dipping in and out is classic self-interruption.
8. Do a reality check.
After five minutes of unplanned surfing, ask yourself, “Should I really be doing this now?”

What’s up? Conceptual metaphors and the teaching of phrasal verbs

By Elaine Hodgson

Some aspects of a language are considered a real challenge for both teachers and learners. In the case of English, phrasal verbs are certainly amongst the most unpopular topics in the classroom. They are seen as important and, at the same time, almost impossible to be learnt. This probably happens because their meanings are often thought to be arbitrary and sometimes illogical. Being considered arbitrary, it is believed that these verbs cannot exactly be taught, but that they should, most of the time, be learnt by heart. Only the very gifted student or someone who has had the chance of living abroad for some time would be able to use them confidently. For the regular EFL student, understandably, this can be extremely off-putting, as one cannot be expected to memorize thousands and thousands of different verbs, especially if we consider that new phrasal verbs are created every day! Would it be possible to facilitate the path to the learning of phrasal verbs, which are an important aspect of the English language? The answer, I believe, is yes, even though it may seem very unusual at first: conceptual metaphors. The teaching of a few conceptual metaphors would probably help students (and teachers) deal with phrasal verbs in a more efficient manner.

According to the text, phrasal verbs
a) can only be memorized by native speakers.
b) are conceptual metaphors which can make our thoughts less arbitrary and, therefore, able to be put into practice.
c) can be learned only by the ones who are really off-putting and popular among the crowds.
d) would definitely not be chosen as a student’s favorite subject to discuss in class.
e) are exclusively taught to EFL students who do not seem to be gifted ones.

GUITAR HERO

INTERVIEW: NOEL GALLAGHER

By Marcel Anders

Oasis lead guitarist Noel Gallagher has been described as “the elder statesman” of British rock. Yet this is a description that he rejects, pointing out that, at the age of 41, he is still a young man, when compared with the likes of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and even Paul Weller.

Gallagher, who has often been in conflict with the Oasis lead singer, his younger brother Liam, recently met with the press in order to promote the band’s latest album, Dig Into Your Soul. As he explained, some of its songs were inspired by his memories of LSD trips as a teenager in Manchester:
Noel Gallagher:
What do you write about when you’re 41? I don’t know. You know, __( I )__famous? Nobody wants to hear about that. __( II )__ in a band? That was kind of what Definitely Maybe was about. Women? Too boring, you know. Money? Nobody wants to hear about that. Politics? __( III )__, you know. Save the planet? __( IV )__. You know, I don’t know. So, the
most __( V )__ thing is like, well, I remember when I was 16 and, you know, __( VI )__ acid, it was like, “Yeah, there’s stories to be told there, I think.”

BACK ON TRACK
Many critics say that Oasis are “back on track” with this album, but Gallagher has his reservations:
Noel Gallagher:
For me personally, I don’t know what anybody else in the band thinks, but when I sit down and write a song I don’t think: “Well, is this as good as what I’ve done?” I just write them, you know, and record them and other people decide. So, if other people decided that we were back, you know, after “Don’t Believe The Truth,” then great, do you know what I mean? But I… it’s not something that I would ever… I wouldn’t enter into a debate about it. How can I, you know? I don’t… I’m not a professional songwriter, do you know what I mean? I kind of… it’s what… I’ve been writing songs for as long as I can remember, you know, for fun, it’s just so now lots of people buy them, but if nobody bought the records tomorrow,
I still wouldn’t stop writing songs, but I’d write songs just to play to my mates. It’s kind of what I do.

ABBEY ROAD
Dig Out Your Soul was recorded at London’s famous Abbey Road studios, whose previous occupants have included The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Rumour
has it that Oasis had previously been banned from the studios on account of their unruly behaviour:
Noel Gallagher:
We had to pay the money upfront and promise to be on our best behaviour.
We had to pay the money upfront, and so they said, “If… if you have to leave, then you’re gonna lose the deposit.” Well, it’s different now, you know, when we were in there in ’97, everybody was in their 20s and
whacked out on drugs all the time, so it’s different now. Everybody’s got kids, you know. Everybody’s a little bit more… a little bit less mental, you know, but we still have a good time, though. We made a great record, that’s the main thing about it, you know, and it’s good for Abbey Road, that somebody’s finally made a great record there!
