This afternoon I'm going to discuss creating a menu. (main topic). specially, we'll look at
two aspects: the design of the menu (subtopic) and what food categories to include

5- EMPHASISING as an indicator
During a lecture, you hear a lot of information quickly. Lecturers will often use
For example:
*signaling phrases
*Checking in
Is this clear?
I'm going to focus on four seasons some people prefer the Internet as their news source.
A speaker will present one characteristic, principle, or reason at a time, and then will
indicate what's next by stating a new number and repeating the key phrase(A). Speakers
Characteris c 2: A good news website has many types of stories: sports, poli cs, ...
(B) Now I want to turn to .... Moving on now to .... Let's now look at ...
Moreover, lecturers will often use sequence markers to signal when they are
about to introduce the next point or part of a lecture or the next item in a
list. Being able to identify these markers can help you distinguish different

9- CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS
relationships. These relationships are very important because they clarify how
effect relationships will help you remember the information in the lecture.
You remember this theory because we talked about it for almost an hour.
Lecturers will sometimes give information in the form of a list. For instance,
These lists are important because they often concern key information in the
lecture; thus, this information needs to be part of your notes if you are to
understand the lecture completely. When adding a list to your notes, be sure
The following are some ways lecturers might indicate they are going to list
something:

stuck together. In the case of DNA these atoms combine to form the shape of a
long spiraling ladder sort of like this one here. If you ever studied biology or saw
the movie Jurassic Park, you probably heard that DNA acts as a blueprint or a
recipe for a living thing. But how on earth can a mere molecule? This here is a
simplified model of DNA. It shows us that the steps of the ladder are made up of
four different kinds of chemicals shown here by different colors and letters. If you
look at just one half of the molecule, you can read its chemical sequence or
genetic code from top to bottom sort of like a book. A single strand of DNA is
extremely long millions of letters long it spends most of its life coiled up like a noodle
nucleus make partial copies of the DNA code these partial copies called RNA look
a lot like DNA but they're shorter of course and they're missing one of their sides.
They're small shape and size allows them to fit through tiny pores in the nucleus out
to the cytoplasm and into the mouth of another particle called a ribosome. DNA
is a molecular blueprint for a living thing. How does it work? DNA creates RNA. RNA
