Let’s look at the questions below and see what information we can pick up before we listen to the audio.

Practice your ability to read information from the instructions and questions.

1 How many people will be speaking?
2. Who are they?
3 What are they discussing?
4 How many courses can Jack choose from?

1. The instructions indicate we will be listening to two people.
2. Jack and his tutor
3. Optional courses available to Jack next semester.

5 Who is most likely to give the information that answers the questions, Jack or his
tutor?

Jack, as the answers all relate to his choices.

So after looking at the instructions and questions we can build a structure of how we can expect the information. We can be sure that all if not most, of it will come during Jacks’ turn to speak. This will give us a headstart when we listen to the audio.
