How to improve your skills?

Voor het oefenen van luva helpt het om (naast het oefenen in WOOTS en eindexamensite.nl) vaak naar Engelse podcasts te luisteren; practice makes perfect. 

Study "signaalwoorden" and "basiswoorden".

Concluding tips

• Apply this method during CITO practice;
• Focus on main gist when using other footage;
• Watch and listen to as many materials as possible:
• Podcasts (BBC The Why Factor, New York Times Daily); the news (CNN10, BBC); programmes (BBC Panorama); documentaries; British Netflix series.
