Kardia dice You have listened to audio files before

Have you ever listened to a podcast?

You may not have listened to a podcast but I am sure you have listened to a lot of audio files in English.

You will need to do those things your teacher always tells you to do.

Do these tips sound familiar to you?

  • Listen to the recording as many times as you need.
  • Do not try to understand every word. Try to understand the global meaning. 
  • Pay attention to intonation. Intonation will give you information about emotions, feelings and intentions of the person talking. 

2. Second test: say the differences

Rétor dice

Now that you are here, it is time to get to work!

You have already listened carefully to the recordings.

This is a group activity. You and your classmates will work together to find the differences between the two recordings. 

Sometimes, when we listen to so much information, it is difficult to find the important parts.

To help you identify the differences between the two recordings, answer the questions in the following chart.

Write your conclusions in your notebook. Let 's go!

Motus dice Do you remember how many things you have done to understand the recordings?

You had to put into practice many things that you know.

Constant work helps you learn.

When we make a great effort, our work is valued by family and teachers.

But the most important thing is that we feel glad for the work that we did.

I encourage you to continue working.

Keep learning and improving.
