Listening and note-taking

4

 

 

1:01–1:04

 

Before starting this exercise, check that 

students know the word 

manufacturer

 (a company which 

makes something).

Tell students that you will play the recording twice. The 

second time, pause the recording as often as necessary in order 

to give students time to take notes and complete the table. 

After playing the recording, ask students to compare their 

answers with a partner. 

With lower-level groups, write up the answers on the board, so 

that students can transfer the answers into the correct gaps in 

the table.

If you have the resources available, this exercise could be 

done as a jigsaw listening. Each sub-group listens to one of the 

four people. Then, reorganize the groups so that each student 

reports back to the others in order for them to complete their 

grids.
