It is often necessary to understand What someone says in detail.
Read the questions before you listen and think about the posible answer. Listen for words that introduce the information that you need.for example,if you need the name of a movie,listen for the world “film” or “movie”. Wait until the speaker has finished Speaking before you answer the question.
SKILL LISTENING FOR THE MAIN IDEA
It is important to understand the main idea when someone is speaking Think about who is Speaking and What he/she is talking about. Don’t worry if you don’t understand all the words. Remember that speakers often talk about the main ideas more that once.
