LISTENING


UNIT 2: Listening for specific information




  • What are the key words?
  • What type of words are they?

Sometimes when we listen, we are only interested in finding out very specific information such as dates and times, names or key words.

It helps us to understand, if we can work out what kind of words we are listening for.

 

EXTRACT 1

  • Look at the telephone message pad below. It comes from a house where a number of students live together.
  • Discuss what information you need to listen out for in each message. If possible, write what type of word that is in the right-hand column.
  • Listen to Unit 2, Extract 1 and complete the task.
