Daily Guidance # 14 and Practice



Hello Students,

This week´s daily guidance is

Practice note taking whenever you are listening to something in English – only write down key words or phrases, use abbreviations for long words and always write in English. Record only the major points – you will not have time to write down the minor, unimportant details in the exam.


Improve your vocabulary – the more words you know, the easier it will be for you to understand the listening section. Learn new vocab and save words you have trouble with by becoming an English, baby! Super member.


Listen for signal words that indicate major steps, changes or ideas such as seldom, at the moment, in 1975, so far, usually, often, up to now, at the moment. Make sure to also listen for repetition, synonyms and pronouns.

  1. all the time I do the same, although I notice that in the audio or the accent of the person I can not understand everything I hear trying to capture the key words that allow me to join them have a sense of the talk and thus be able to understand the context of what is spoken.
    very good advice!
