To prepare for the listening test, we'll use some time during class to work on your listening skills.

Furthermore, I'll also post new practice listening material on Woots so you can practice with that in your own time.

On the subject of strange news, take a moment to think of happy things that happened to you.

After 1 minute, we'll switch roles and speaker 2 will have 1 minute to tell speaker 1 about their news.
