Listening UNIT 1
EXTRACT 1
Listen to Unit 1, Extract 1. There are ten short conversations and one example. As
you listen, complete the table to show
who the speakers are and
why they are
speaking. The first one has been done as an example.
Follow-up: Spoken and written language
Make a list of the types of language you hear spoken every day both in your own
language and in English. Divide the list into two columns showing language which
is spontaneous or unprepared and language which was probably written to be read
out loud. Then discuss the questions below with a partner.
11 What are the main differences between spoken language and language which was
written to be read out loud? Is it harder to understand one than the other?
12 Why is it more difficult to understand people when they speak on the telephone?
How is this similar to listening to a recorded conversation?
