Assignment 3

Teksten “How Many Things Can You Do At Once?” handler om multitasking. Du skal besvare både a) og b).

a) Omskriv to sætninger fra teksten til spørgende sætninger.

b) Omskriv to sætninger fra teksten til nægtende sætninger med ”not”.

How Many Things Can You Do At Once? It seems like today, the more things you can do at once, the better. I am watching Netflix, while eating sushi and writing emails. Multitasking. But research keeps telling us that most people cannot perform two or more attention-demanding tasks at the same time, without doing one of those tasks badly. And instead of truly multitasking, we often just switch between two or more tasks rapidly, which is known as task switching. Research suggests there is a switch cost. People tend to slow down when moving from one task to another due to the time it takes the brain to realign to the “new task”. Scientists and the media also point to anecdotal evidence: if we are walking, we slow down when we look at our phones. If we are driving, we turn down the radio when we are looking for our turn. And if we are typing an email, we often lose track of what we are saying on the phone. It is often claimed that we cannot multitask unless the actions or processes are so automatic to us that they do not require any thought like tying a shoe lace while talking about the weather.  www.medicaldaily.com

Eksempel:	It was just after five o’clock...
	It is just after five o’clock …

It was just after five o’clock he drove through Darfield, then took the road which led to Littledene. As the land rose steadily in front of him, he saw that the snow in the now-looming Alps took on a lovely blush, and that the rocks below the snowline turned dark purple. He noted with some satisfaction that the land through which he was driving was mainly in pasture, and the jacketed animals that munched on fed-out hay were dairy cows. […] Now, with record earnings from milk, farmers were scrambling to plant pasture, irrigate it and run dairy herds. […] Phil felt again a pang of nostalgia for life on the Winton farm, and envy of Jeff. He overtook a tractor driving a trailer with a hairy dog on its tray and tooted a greeting. The man at the wheel, Swanndri collar turned up against the frost-laden air, grinned and waved cheerily. Something in the tractor driver’s manner told Phil that he was a dairy man. Phil’s spirits rose higher. Graeme Lay, “Play On”, 2002
