Task 1 - lesson 8: Discuss postcard + listening

Listening:

• Before you listen.
• While you listen.
• After you listen.

What do you do before you listen?

Before listening:

• Think about the topic of the text you are going to listen to. What do you already know? 
  
• Check if you understand the task;
• What kind of text are you going to listen to?
  
• Get ready to focus.
  

What do you while you listen?

While listening:

• You don't need to understand every word!
• Don't know a word? Try to connect it to words you do know.
• Focus on key words and facts.
  
• Take notes to support your memory.
• Try to think ahead. What might happen next? What might the speakers say, which words might they use?

What do you do after you listen?

After listening:

• Think about the text again. Have you understood the main points?
  
• Remember the guesses you did. Are they true?
  
• Task + answers complete?
