I uploaded the pictures and used these prompts after I corrected two mistakes in the four descriptions ChatGPT produced.
- Can you retell the story in the four pictures at the level
of a student at B1 on the CEFR scale?
- Could you make the story sound a little bit more
conversational?
Transcript of ChatGPT's more conversational version of
the story:
So, there’s this guy riding his bike down the street.
Suddenly, he crashes into a truck that’s turning the corner. He falls and gets
hurt pretty badly, and his bike is all messed up. The truck driver sees what
happened and rushes over to help. He quickly calls for an ambulance. The
paramedics arrive and put the injured cyclist on a stretcher to take him to the
hospital. The truck driver stands by, looking really worried about what
happened.
This spoken conversation with ChatGPT was recorded using Screen Recorder on my Android phone. The student's recording was played on my PC to simulate a student recording herself.
It's 5 minutes long.
Spoken Prompts used:
- What I'd like you to do is to provide my student with some
feedback on her speaking in English.
- Could you make a more coherent version of what my student
made?
Transcript of my student's recording:
My flat is very, very beautiful. I think that the decoration
must have different colours. I don't like only a colour for a house. So, my
bedroom is pink. The kitchen is blue. The bedroom is orange. The water is
green. And the living room is red. And the space for the table is also pink,
but more strong. And I am very happy in my house.
Transcript of ChatGPT's more coherent version:
"My flat is very beautiful. I think the decoration
should have different colours. I don't like just one colour for the whole
house. So, my bedroom is pink, the kitchen is blue, and the bathroom is orange.
The walls are green, the living room is red, and the dining area is also pink,
but a stronger shade. I am very happy in my house."
Breaking News!
Students can now record themselves using Turboscribe.ai
See an example showing how the transcript from Turboscribe
can be pasted into ChatGPT to get corrections & an improved version at B1
The transcript was produced by #Turboscribe
But the innovative thing is that Turboscribe now offers a microphone option, so students can record themselves live three times a day for up to 30 minutes each time with a free account.
It may be difficult to see but turboscribe.ai is now more useful than ever as there is now a microphone so students can record themselves 3 times a day for up to 30 minutes!
The transcripts are very accurate and students can listen while following the transcript to notice automatic corrections that have been made.
Editing the transcripts to correct obvious mistranscriptions usually caused by pronunciation problems is possible, although a bit fiddly.
(Corrected) transcripts can be exported in various formats, in which it may be easier to make corrections.
These can then be pasted into ChatGPT, for example, with prompts asking for corrections or a more coherent version at A2 B1 B2 etc
