00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:07,089
Hello everybody, this is a video in which we are going to see how to do the listening activity.

2
00:00:07,089 --> 00:00:10,929
As you know we have done many different activities like this one in the class,

3
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:18,210
the ones that are on the book, because our book is the Cambridge one and they have the same

4
00:00:18,210 --> 00:00:25,410
listening activities in each different unit. But I want you to just to check that you are

5
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:36,369
doing it in a correct way. So, what I want you to do is to follow the correct steps, right? So,

6
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:43,170
you have three listenings here and the first one is related to the countryside, right? So,

7
00:00:43,729 --> 00:00:52,049
they always ask us questions because they want to know what we previously have learned or the

8
00:00:52,049 --> 00:00:59,890
vocabulary we have acquired which is related to the topic. So imagine that you have the listening

9
00:00:59,890 --> 00:01:07,010
right and you will see those pictures related to animals. So what you have to take into account

10
00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:14,209
is that you have to try to remember the names of the following animals or all the words that can

11
00:01:14,209 --> 00:01:20,129
be related with animals, the vocabulary and the structures that you have learned and are related

12
00:01:20,129 --> 00:01:27,569
to vocabulary, to animals, right? So the first exercise is going to be related to that aspect.

13
00:01:28,209 --> 00:01:33,409
Write the names of the animals under each picture, right? This is a listening activity in which they

14
00:01:33,409 --> 00:01:40,849
are preparing you. You are going to be prepared to do the listening that you have to do

15
00:01:41,409 --> 00:01:47,769
in year six, which is related to the level of English acquisition, right? So this is going to

16
00:01:47,769 --> 00:01:52,030
be to prepare you for that exam. So it's a listening but it's not the proper

17
00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:56,349
listening you are going to find in the exam, right? So the first thing they are

18
00:01:56,349 --> 00:02:02,409
asking you to do is remember the names of the animals, right? So the

19
00:02:02,409 --> 00:02:08,389
first time you see the pictures you will have to remember the

20
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:16,530
names, rabbits, butterflies, horses or whatever. The second activity they are going to

21
00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:23,169
ask you to listen for the first time the activity right it's a sorry listen to a guide speaking at

22
00:02:23,169 --> 00:02:30,750
the start of a walk in the countryside and think take the things they they he talks about so in

23
00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:36,370
that part you don't have to answer questions that you just have to take into account that you will

24
00:02:36,370 --> 00:02:42,409
probably hear uh the following words or weather clothes taking photos different animals plants

25
00:02:42,409 --> 00:02:48,289
for the afternoon, you will hear some of that, of these words, right? Those words.

26
00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:57,370
The exercise number three says listen again and answer the question. That is a proper listening

27
00:02:57,370 --> 00:03:03,969
activity, right? So listen again, again, sorry, and answer the questions. You don't need to write

28
00:03:03,969 --> 00:03:10,430
whole sentences, just the idea. You have to get the idea, right? What is the weather like? Why

29
00:03:10,430 --> 00:03:18,110
does everyone needs good shoes? Will the group go after the fields and the forest? So you have to

30
00:03:18,669 --> 00:03:27,710
just get the idea of what they are talking about. The fourth activity is discuss the questions

31
00:03:27,710 --> 00:03:32,430
in pairs. Obviously you can't do it because you don't have your pairs at home but what you

32
00:03:32,430 --> 00:03:42,150
What you basically have to do is think about it and try to be able to create sentences

33
00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:48,270
in your mind to answer the question and to talk about it.

34
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:54,349
You are going to take a group of people on a walk near your home.

35
00:03:54,349 --> 00:03:59,590
In groups, learn where you will take the people and what you will see, then describe the walk

36
00:03:59,590 --> 00:04:00,590
to the class.

37
00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:08,310
This activity tries to connect the listening activity with a written activity, right?

38
00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:17,509
You should do it, taking into account that in the writing activities, you have to write about 35-40 words.

39
00:04:18,149 --> 00:04:29,149
And it's a good activity for you to be able to write a text, taking into account different fields or different vocabulary, right?

40
00:04:29,149 --> 00:04:39,750
So, please, what you will have to do here is write about what they are asking you to do.

41
00:04:40,069 --> 00:04:43,689
It says, you are going to take a group of people on a walk near your home.

42
00:04:43,889 --> 00:04:45,829
In groups, you have to do it individually.

43
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:50,990
Plan where you will take the people and what you will see.

44
00:04:51,569 --> 00:04:53,970
Then, describe the walk to the class.

45
00:04:53,970 --> 00:05:03,970
What you have to write is the description of the walk or the stroll you are going to have.

46
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:09,970
So this is basically the activity number one related to the listening.

47
00:05:09,970 --> 00:05:14,970
If you have a printer, you can print it and it will be easier for you to do it.

48
00:05:14,970 --> 00:05:20,970
If you don't have a printer, don't you worry about it because you just have to take your notebook, write a date, write a title,

49
00:05:20,970 --> 00:05:26,730
the title please listen in number one because it's really hard for me to correct the activities if you

50
00:05:26,730 --> 00:05:36,230
don't write a title listening one and one activity one right one point a b c d or one two three four

51
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:46,069
one rabbit two whatever the second one listen to a tick the things he talks about just the things

52
00:05:46,069 --> 00:05:52,949
he talks about. So, two, A, C, D, whatever, right? And three, number three, you don't need to write

53
00:05:52,949 --> 00:06:00,029
whole sentences. I just want, I just want the idea. Four, you have to answer those questions.

54
00:06:00,290 --> 00:06:07,790
And five, it's a written activity, 35, 40 words in which you are describing the work to the class,

55
00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:15,949
Right. Let's going to move on the listening number two, which is this one related to yoga.

56
00:06:16,569 --> 00:06:26,720
Right. Every every single activity in which you read, you can read working groups is individual.

57
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:32,699
Right. Working groups. Which of these ideas are true about yoga?

58
00:06:32,699 --> 00:06:38,300
Do you think? Sorry. Which of these ideas are true about yoga? Do you think? Right.

59
00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:53,980
The purpose of this activity is to connect the previous vocabulary you have learned about the sport and healthy habits with the listening you are going to listen to after that.

60
00:06:53,980 --> 00:06:58,379
So, it's a good activity to connect the ideas.

61
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:10,800
So, here you don't have to, you just have to think about what is, what are the benefits or the ideas that we know about yoga, right?

62
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:14,579
It's hard work, it's easy and not really a sport, whatever.

63
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:21,720
So, but it's a way to connect your brain to the vocabulary you are going to listen to.

64
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:28,339
activity two listen to the conversation between lucy and hugo stick the ideas in exercise one

65
00:07:28,339 --> 00:07:36,560
which hugo says are true about yoga so in this case now you yeah you now have to listen to the

66
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:45,959
conversation between uh them and you have to find in the different uh purposes that they gave you

67
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:56,279
the activity one and see what of the ideas are the ones that Hugo is talking about.

68
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:03,879
Three, listen again for more information. So the first time you listen to the conversation

69
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:12,519
you are getting the main idea of what a character or a person says. In the second time you are going

70
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:19,160
to listen to the listening or to the conversation they are asking you about the specific details

71
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:25,800
those specific details are for instance a place where people can keep fit a team sport a type

72
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:32,200
of shoes two parts of the body or a person is lost in lucy's family right so it's a specific

73
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,639
idea and be careful because maybe you are going to listen something that is going to be similar

74
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,799
but it's not exactly what they are asking about.

75
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,779
They will ask about something really,

76
00:08:44,220 --> 00:08:46,320
that is going to be really, really, really, really true.

77
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,019
As I told you in class many different times,

78
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:53,320
you will maybe hear the word family or body,

79
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:56,620
but they want the perfect idea,

80
00:08:56,779 --> 00:09:03,419
the idea that best fits into the conversation, right?

81
00:09:05,529 --> 00:09:08,230
Sometimes more than one answer is possible.

82
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:17,230
So pay attention to that part, vale? So, 4. In groups think of a sport and make a

83
00:09:17,230 --> 00:09:23,529
list of reasons to do it. Then tell the class. Use these phrases and your own

84
00:09:23,529 --> 00:09:32,049
ideas. What I am going to do is gonna give you again the link to the

85
00:09:32,049 --> 00:09:37,450
passlet, right? And you won't think about a different sport because we did an

86
00:09:37,450 --> 00:09:45,129
activity related to sports in the previous term. So, what we are going to do is we are going to

87
00:09:45,129 --> 00:09:53,049
use the same sports that we choose for the activity of strange sports and you will write

88
00:09:53,049 --> 00:10:00,570
about the sport. For instance, I don't know, extreme ironing or I don't know,

89
00:10:00,570 --> 00:10:09,289
It's just an example of it. It's good for you because you can have your clothes ready for

90
00:10:12,889 --> 00:10:22,570
school, for going to school with the proper things and it makes you feel happy and it helps you to

91
00:10:22,570 --> 00:10:29,929
fit your arms, whatever. It's just an idea, right? But you have to choose your sport and you will

92
00:10:29,929 --> 00:10:35,129
have to write about it you have the example we like tennis the best reason for playing tennis

93
00:10:35,129 --> 00:10:42,490
is that it's fun but it is a it is also good for your body for example it gives you strong arms

94
00:10:42,490 --> 00:10:48,409
please use connectors first under my point bonus that's under my point of view is complicated but

95
00:10:48,409 --> 00:11:01,009
first in my opinion for me second but because those words that enrich your

96
00:11:01,009 --> 00:11:07,870
written activities right let's going to move to the third listening activity

97
00:11:07,870 --> 00:11:13,649
which is a little bit complex more complicated but something that you can

98
00:11:13,649 --> 00:11:24,950
do easily. One, breakfast in Berlin. So, they are going to talk about food and about a place.

99
00:11:25,529 --> 00:11:32,350
When would you eat these things? Take breakfast, lunch, dinner, or more than one meal and talk

100
00:11:32,350 --> 00:11:37,830
about your answer with a partner. So, the vocabulary of this listening is going to be

101
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:45,470
related with food. So, they want to connect what we have learned about food, right? So, cereal,

102
00:11:45,629 --> 00:11:52,529
toaster, jam, cold meats, oats, vegetables, omelet, fish, breakfast, lunch, dinner, right? So, you just

103
00:11:52,529 --> 00:11:57,629
have to think about it. You don't have to listen to the listening activity till you arrive to the

104
00:11:57,629 --> 00:12:05,090
second exercise. And says, look at the picture. Which word describes what you see? So, it's very

105
00:12:05,090 --> 00:12:11,409
easy, right? They just want to connect our brain to the vocabulary we are going to listen to.

106
00:12:11,409 --> 00:12:15,409
Sorry, I said that in the activity two you are going to listen to, but in this case it's activity

107
00:12:15,409 --> 00:12:21,809
three, sorry. Three, listen to a conversation between two friends and choose the correct answer

108
00:12:21,809 --> 00:12:30,129
for each question. This is going to be, this is similar to a proper exercise, a listening exercise

109
00:12:30,129 --> 00:12:36,450
that you will do next year. So, where did Tess have breakfast last Sunday? Please, read it before

110
00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:43,950
play the record, right? First, read carefully. Where did Tess have breakfast last Sunday? Where?

111
00:12:44,370 --> 00:12:48,570
Where is her place? So, we have to take into account that we have to listen to a place,

112
00:12:48,570 --> 00:12:56,250
right? And what is going to be a thing, right? So, be careful. You have to read it and be careful,

113
00:12:56,250 --> 00:13:04,169
too, because they will try to cheat you, right? You will see two similar sentences, but we always

114
00:13:04,169 --> 00:13:14,230
need to find them best, the one that best fits into the answer. Fourth, listen again and write

115
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:21,730
true or false after each sentence. Probably you will hear something like, Tess had only breakfast

116
00:13:21,730 --> 00:13:25,070
for her trip to Madrid

117
00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:27,330
is an example, but maybe

118
00:13:27,330 --> 00:13:31,429
it's probably that you will

119
00:13:31,429 --> 00:13:34,250
listen to a sentence

120
00:13:34,250 --> 00:13:36,129
similar but

121
00:13:36,129 --> 00:13:40,230
different in one or two or three words, right?

122
00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:43,389
Her breakfast with Lena took a long time

123
00:13:43,389 --> 00:13:46,149
took 10 minutes

124
00:13:46,149 --> 00:13:49,350
for instance, and you will have to be careful

125
00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:51,350
about it, right? Because

126
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:59,570
Because they are asking about specific information, specific data from the conversation, right?

127
00:14:00,090 --> 00:14:02,350
And the last one is the written activity.

128
00:14:03,789 --> 00:14:08,830
It's speaking, but you don't have a partner to do it, so you have to do it in a written form.

129
00:14:09,330 --> 00:14:10,570
Are you hungry in the morning?

130
00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:15,850
Take the sentences that are true for you and then talk to a partner, right?

131
00:14:16,090 --> 00:14:17,909
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

132
00:14:17,970 --> 00:14:19,129
I don't need breakfast at all.

133
00:14:19,129 --> 00:14:39,570
So you have to write about your experience. For me, under my point of view, breakfast is one of the most important meal of the day. In my case, I always have two toasts and a cup of whatever, right? And 30 words, no more.

134
00:14:39,570 --> 00:14:48,110
so i don't have more time the activity on page 66 on the activity book that you have to do is

135
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:55,009
similar to those ones so just take the same advices and good luck bye bye guys this is all

136
00:14:55,009 --> 00:14:57,970
i don't have more time sorry bye
