An ear for ceremonial nothing. Then scissors and a wall.
You know a robot tone: in today’s world, it is important to realise, in conclusion it can be stated, delving, tapestry, “as a pupil I would like”. On a poster and in a composition that shouts a window. Maker trains this ear. A list of clichés. A cross-out. A wall. Your sentence. Helper scissors. It is not a hunt for every foreign word from a textbook. A textbook may stay. A robot may go. When a whole poster sounds like a congress, delete and keep a five-word slogan from a storm that sounds like you. Better a short human than a long robot. A teacher reads robots. A class too. They laugh. You do not want a laugh at your work when it is meant to be a serious campaign. You want them to read a message. So read it out loud to a parent before you hang it. An eye in a rush misses a congress. An ear does not. When a parent asks “so what should I do then?”, and you do not know, a verb is missing. Add an act. Only then colours.
Adam has a slogan “In today’s world it is important to ask relevant questions of AI tools.” Bára yawns. A cross-out. A wall. Adam: “A book first. Then ask.” Five words. It hangs. The class reads. A teacher nods. A long robot would hang and nobody. Ema writes a list of clichés on the margin. She will hear each one. Play. Not shame that a model pours it. Shame is leaving it hanging with a name. An ear is Maker craft the same as a hand.
Read out loud. A robot is heard more with ears than with eyes when you rush.
A cliché, padding, ceremonial nothing
A cliché: in today’s world, in conclusion, one cannot but. Padding: relevant, effective, innovative with no content. Ceremonial nothing: a long sentence that does not say what a child should do. A campaign needs a verb: check, ask, cross out. A robot hides a verb. You pull it out. Fancy padding in a kids’ poster is a mix from the language lesson. Bring it back in plain English. A textbook term (photosynthesis) is not a robot. It is a term. Keep a term when you can carry it. Take a robot wrap off. When a model after deleting clichés adds new ones, it is a game of whack-a-mole. A move: “no in today’s world, no relevant, one act.” When it still pours a congress, close and write five words yourself. A window is not required at the last sentence on a wall.
Before and after.
Before: “In today’s world it is important to realise that relevant questioning is key.” After: “Ask about the year group. Then open a book.”
A list to cross out:
- in today’s world
- one cannot but
- in conclusion it can be stated
- delving / tapestry (when they crawl in)
- as an artificial intelligence I would like
A move: “Delete clichés. Return 5 words, a verb in the imperative, in English, like 11, no diminutives.”
Do not let style be “improved” into ceremonial when it should sound like you. Improvement is often a robot.
Why this right now
You are in the course Ask with Martin, level Maker. You work in a chatbot (ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude) — same game, different brand. No code. A parent or the school creates the account. A child’s email does not belong here.
This is not the 인벤터 level. There you build a chatbot on your own website. Here you are a user: a question, a check, a citation.
You will know this lesson by one sentence: If you hear a congress and nothing, cross it out. Keep a verb an eleven-year-old can carry. When you can say it to a parent or a teacher, you have got the core. The rest is practice, not magic.
Tomorrow delete clichés as a workshop of their own. Today an ear. Without an ear tomorrow you would not know what to delete.
Four things you will build in this course
The course has four small projects. You do not have to do them all at once. Today you add only what this lesson can do.
🏫 A report with citations
An outline, three sources that exist, and a sentence in your own words. AI must not be the only author.
A campaign poster: an imperative, not a congress.
📝 Test training
Coach role: let it ask, do not let it say the answer. You count / answer yourself.
Report: a term yes, ceremonial nothing no.
📅 Family planner
Tasks for the week (not passwords, not marks). A parent sees the plan, not your chat.
Five slides: one sentence, not tapestry.
📜 An AI code for the class
Seven short rules on a poster. No horror — a how-to.
Code: a ban on in today’s world on a noticeboard.
Workshop: out loud and a cross-out
Let it give three slogans. Read out loud. Cross out robots. A wall. One human. Onto paper.
-
M1 three slogans on asking, in English, no fancy padding. Read out loud to a parent. With a finger point at clichés: in today’s world, relevant, in conclusion. When there is none, look for ceremonial nothing with no act.
-
M2 delete clichés, 5 words, a verb. When still a congress, a wall with no chat.
-
Write a human one. Compare a laugh: a robot vs. you.
-
A list of clichés into a notebook. Add what you hear.
-
A trail: an ear, a cross-out, a hand.
Practice: a robot, or a human
Cross out and replace with a verb.
-
In today’s world it is important to check information.
-
A book first.
-
In conclusion it can be stated that AI is key.
Now you 💪
Go through three checks. At each one tick in your head: can I see it, or not?
- An ear hears a congress.
- A verb on a poster is visible.
- You do not take a style improvement as a congress.
If something is missing, go back to the steps above. This is not a test for marks. It is a safety net, so you go on sure, not confused.
Check: One slogan sounds like you. A congress stayed in a cliché bin.
What to take from this lesson
- Read out loud.
- A cliché, padding, ceremonial nothing.
- A textbook term is not a robot.
- A verb on the wall.
- A short human > a long robot.
- The names in the examples (Adam, Ema) are made up. Do not put your number, email or photo here.
- Next lesson: When you can do this, go to the next lesson in the same level.
