learning goals

I know strategies that I can use for watching in English. 

I can understand an old listening/watching exam. 

Which strategies can you use for the watching part of watching/listening exam?

watching strategies

• underline the important words in the answers that indicate what the answer is really about. 
• If you doubt between two answers: ask yourself which answer was mostly present in the fragment? What is it really about and what is a detail?
• look for synonyms. Sometimes a synonym of a word in the answers is used in the video. 

watching strategies

• vertaal de vraag voor jezelf naar het Engels dus bijvoorbeeld: "Wat vragen archeologen zich af....?" -> dan kan er een woorden komen als "they question" / "they puzzle" 
•  het woord "hoogte" is belangrijk in de vraag -> wat is de Engels vertaling dan?
