Hello everyone,
Today I am going to
share my podcast with you. It was an assignment for ELT
408 TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION lecture. For this assignment we were
supposed to record a podcast and upload it to our blog. Our teacher gave us
this prologue: " I thought it was going to be the best day of my
life, but turned out to be the funniest. It was a perfect morning. The
weather was sunny and warm. Then the telephone rang….." and
she wanted from us to complete the story and use sound effects. After spending hours on the internet, I found the
application for MAC. It is called GarageBand. After writing my
scenario, I found the proper
effects from http://soundbible.com/free-sound-effects-1.html
and downloaded them. For my
telephone conversation I needed a male narrator. My friend Gökalp helped me for that part. I would like to
thank him. You can find the transcript part above. Here comes my podcast…. J

I thought it was going
to be the best day of my life, but turned out to be the funniest. It was a
perfect morning. The weather was sunny and warm. Then the telephone
rang.
Janet: Hello
Mike: Hi. Is Janet
there?
Janet:
"This is Janet.
Mike: Hi Janet. This is Mike. I met you at the
party last Saturday night.
Janet: Oh.
Hi Mike."
Mike: Did you enjoy the party?
Janet: I had a great time. How about you?
Mike: Yes, it was real fun, especially meeting you.
Janet: Oh thank you it was great meeting you too.
Mike: Can we get together again? How about
dinner? I promise you a wonderful evening.
Janet: Well, ımmm I am a little busy.
Mike: A couple of hours shouldn't hurt too much.
I'll make sure you have a wonderful time.
Janet: Ok then it sounds good. I'm free this Friday
after 6:00. How does that sound to you?
Mike: That sounds good. Do you want to meet
somewhere or would you like me to pick you up?
Janet:
I'll meet you at Cento per Cento at 6:30
on Friday.
Mike: Sounds great.
Janet: Ok
I'll see you then.
Mike: Ok see you bye
Janet:
Bye
On Friday around four
o’clock I started to get ready. I took a bath. I wore my red dress and high
heels. I put on makeup. I arranged my hair and when the clock chimed at
5:30, I was almost ready. I took my car key and hit the road to Cento per Cento.
There was a lot of traffic, but nothing could get me down. I started
thinking." Mike is the handsome guy I have ever seen, he is also very
polite and a couple of minutes later we will have a romantic dinner
together." When I arrived, I pulled the car in front of the restaurant,
got out of the car and gave the key to the vale to park. When I turned my
back I saw Mike with 3 kids. I was shocked. He introduced me to his wonderful
children, then he said he has an important meeting and he needs a babysitter.
He made the dinner reservation for four of us and then he made a hotel
reservation for the night. He gave me the room key and said " Take care of the kids and keep an eye
on them." It was going to be the best day of my life, but turned out to be
the funniest.
