When we talk about English especially from a teaching perspective, there are two approaches.
One is the prescriptive approach, the other is the descriptive approach. Prescriptive English or prescription the prescriptive approach focuses on grammar using proper structure using proper sounds proper patterns it's very important and I agree prescriptive approach the prescriptive approach is very important in writing especially in school and in business but if you listen to my lessons you will know that I usually follow the descriptive approach, the pragmatic approach, the daily English, how we actually use it without regards to grammar, without regards to perfect pronunciation.
So there are two types of English.
What's your take on prescriptive instruction?
What's your take on the prescriptive approach?
What's your take on the descriptive approach?
What's your opinion?
It's a great expression.

What is your take on recycling?
Do you think it's important?
Oh, I'm sure almost all of you think that it is important.
Do you recycle? Are you good at recycling?
In Korea—when I lived in Korea, they had a very great recycling program for everything.
you know batteries fluorescent lights cans paper food waste plastic Styrofoam everything it was it was a really great system Boy, and then I came back to America, and I'm very disappointed Yes, there is some recycling, but it's nothing like they had in Korea.
I wish it were better Um, but yeah, I don't know, a little disappointed.
So I do my best to not buy packaged goods.
How do you do that?
Well, you buy fresh veggies, the cheap stuff, the, you buy vegetables at night, and you buy meat and spices in big containers so that they last a long time.
That's what I do. I think recycling is really important.
I'm not the best but I do my best. When I think about it...
absolutely. I take it very seriously.
What's your take on recycling?
Let me ask a more serious question.

Yeah, have you looked at both sides?
very interesting subject, very interesting because very intelligent people are on both sides of the argument.
I mean really smart people whose area of study is the environment.
Some say there is no global warming, some say there is.
It's a very interesting subject, but what's more interesting is the politicians, they seem to have decided.
One thing that's true about science is nothing is for sure.
I think every scientist who's a real scientist will tell you nothing is for certain so our opinions are important that's why when you want to know somebody else's opinion on something you can say what's your take on dut dut dut dut dut it's a great expression I want to hear you using it That's it, listen to the dialogue two more times.
