Tonight I have prepared something really special for you...The majority of my students complain about listenings. They say they can't listen clearly, that the quality of the sound system is bad...Most of the times, the problem is that they simply don't have the habit of listening...Let's take a look at this brilliant video about it?
Fantastic wasn't it? People, let me remind you of something really important: Listening is something you have to work on a every day basis, it is impossible to expect improvement, development of listening skills if you don't practice regularly! So, don't miss the opportunity I'm giving you. Since we have the new series about VERB FORMS with CHRONICLES FROM MY COCKPIT and CHRONICLES FROM MY KITCHEN, let's explore the SIMPLE PRESENT & PRESENT CONTINUOUS in this videoclip:
Try to identify as many sentences in the SIMPLE PRESENT and PRESENT CONTINUOUS as you can...If they're in the affirmative, change them to negative and interrogative as a practice. Finally, select some of the phrases and create a dialogue, it will help you create CONTEXT!
Good luck,
Study harder if you think you study too much!
Never give up!

Yes, TED is an awsome tool for us teachers to improve our awareness of performance and praparation of classes. I usually say listening is a physical activity and we must make students understand that.
ResponderExcluirIt sure is! I've been trying to make my students become aware of this fact, but it's very difficult to make people realize how important it is to practice listening on a daily basis...
ResponderExcluirI totally agree! Natália rocks!
