Test II. Reflection

1. Based from the audio you have heard, what have you learned? (10 pts)
Answer: First, I've learned a lot of knowledge, information, and facts about the content included
in the recorded audio, which is about Complementary Therapies, The Sydney Opera House, and
Free Diving. Moreover, I also learned the principles of listening and was able to utilize those
principles while listening to the recorded audio and taking the prelim examination. I also learned
how to improve my listening skills by applying the listening principles, which includes preparing
myself to listen and relax, removing and avoiding distractions, and focusing on the recorded
audio so that I can understand the content clearly and answer the questions in the preliminary
examination.

2. How does developing your listening skill help you in your future career? Cite examples. (20
pts)
Answer: Developing listening skills helps us to expand our prior knowledge, gain a lot of
knowledge, learn and gain information. Since listening is one of the major principles of
communication, enhancing our listening skills will help us understand the thoughts, opinions,
and perspectives of other people, establish a good relationship, avoid misunderstandings, and
eliminate conflicts. To exemplify, in my future career or profession, developing listening skills is
very important and essential for us engineers to understand problems and issues clearly and
helpful to us since, as engineers, we tend to meet and work with a lot of people, like our
supervisors, to understand and meet their expectations, and especially with our clients to
understand their needs and guidelines. With our listening skills, we can communicate with our
clients so that we know and address their concerns and requests, as well as avoid problems and
failures in the project in order to achieve a great outcome.
