1) Look for a Title:
  • Check if there's a title. It helps you understand the topic. For example, if the title is "A Rainforest Excursion," it tells us it's about a rainforest visit.
  • Why: Titles give you the context, making it easier for you to understand.

2) Read the Question:
  • Underline how many answers are needed. Find the keyword, like "recommended." Focus on what's suggested for the rainforest.
  • Why: It will help you understand the question and what to listen for.

3) Paraphrase:
  • Know synonyms. Words like "recommended" will be surely said differently in the listening. Being aware of similar words helps understand better.
  • Why: Try understand different ways something can be said.

4) Read the Options:
  • Know all options before listening and focus on relevant ones. Don't get distracted by unnecessary details.
  • Why: It will help you focus on the right information during the listening.

5) Watch Out for Traps:
  • Be careful if you seem to catch "the correct answer" because it may change later as well. The speaker might suggest something else and then say it's not needed.
  • Why: This will help you avoid falling into traps where the right answer is changed later.
