Today, you will have time to rehearse your speaking exam components (your orange sheet and your creative writing essay).

REMEMBER THAT LAB TIME IS A PRIVILEGE AND INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR IN THE LAB WILL RESULT IN THAT PRIVILEGE BEING TAKEN AWAY.

You will be presenting your speaking task today. Follow the directions carefully so that you can record your presentation properly.

1. To open the recording program, click on Start.
2. Go to Programs --> Music --> Audacity
3. Open Audacity.
4. Be sure your microphone and earphones are plugged into the computer correctly.

At the top of Audacity, you will see
a green triangle, which means PLAY
a red circle, which means RECORD
a yellow square, which means STOP
two blue lines, which mean PAUSE.

Please practice recording your own voice first to be sure the recording device works properly.
YOU SHOULD SEE BLUE SQUIGGLY LINES AS YOU SPEAK INTO THE MIC.
Be sure your recording is loud enough.

ALWAYS OPEN A NEW FILE when re recording. (Go to File and click on New)
