Learning goal:

I can explain what parts an informal email consists of

Listening strategies

-  Read the question before listening (never during)

- Work with keywords (underline them if allowed)

--> listen for paraphrases or synonyms

--> watch out for distractors, sometimes they reverse an answer

(maybe I should go to the cinema, oh no it is probably busy there)

- A good way to practise your listening skills is to make notes while listening 

(Can you summarise what is being said?)
