- People listen only to items which they prefer to listen to. For example, noting the
rhythm and the rhyme scheme of a poem.

3. Critical Listening

- People listen first to comprehend and then to evaluate a message to detect

propaganda devices and persuasive language; people listen critically to debates,
political speeches, commercials, and other arguments.

4. Appreciative Listening

stories and poems read aloud.

5. Marginal Listening
