Ask a question about the time:
What time is it?
What dit you do at this time yesterday?
4:00 AM or PM?
How to prepare for Listening?
Most importantly: listen to English as often as possible.
  • Watch videos with English subtitles.
  • Listen to songs and podcasts.
  • In GPS click on the audio buttons.
 

And if you do listen to English:
  • Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
  • Stay relaxed when you do not understand. 
  • Listen for the general idea of the conversation. Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main idea(s).
  • Most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, you can usually understand what the speaker said.

Now "take your car for a spin"


When I was in London I did not drive a van but rented a motorbike. I usually drive very carefully but now I almost caused an accident when I ignored the red traffic light. I almost got run over by a bus. I switched lanes on purpose so I could go to the M5 motorway.
Listen to the audio fragment and write down the 
7 words in this text that are different from what you hear.

Slide 16 - Diapositive

A personal train, in which there were 30 passengers, crashed into an agricultural combine. Apparently, the vehicle is right on an unmarked railroad crossing.

Paradoxical is the fact that less than 20 meters away there is a level crossing with a signalized and equipped railway, but the only access road to the agricultural fields in the area intersects with another railway. Thus, people are forced to put their lives in danger, every day.

Slide 21 - Diapositive

Most new information is built on old information. Context can help you remember the information that is already in your head. And that will help you understand the new information.

So don't say: "ik kan geen Engels" and then shut your ears and eyes. The information you already have in your head, in your own language, helps you to understand what is said in English.
How can you practice?
