a. What did you do before you listened to each part as a group?

Part 1: Before we listened, we must find out the new vocabularies and predicted the content.

- Part 2: We read really carefull and underlined the key words. And then, we determined type of
words in the blank space.

- Part 3: we underlined the key words which helped our understand more.

- Part 4 : we studied about the new words and underlined key words.

b. Can you write the synonyms from the recordings of the following words/phrases in the questions for
part 2?

- Question 10: “produces more…than any other country” = made more...than any other country

- Question 13: “regarded” = considered

- Question 15: “ less bright in colour” = dark

- Question 18: “ten years’ time” = time years ago

c. How could you get the answers for part 3? What did you do while you were listening to this part?

I try to understand all the things that they talk and find the key sentence to find the answer. I got the
main point while I was listening this part

d. What did you do in your group after you listen to the recordings?

- After we listened to the recording, we sent the personal answer to the leader. Besides, we discussed
about the answer, checked and compared results and then the leader went to the final decision.

 f. Who needs help in the listening? What kind of help did he/she receive from other members?

Van is the one who need help in the log. In some part of the record that she missed, other members

3. PERSONAL OPINIONS

1. What we found most interesting/useful

- Helping me knew a lots of new words in many different topics.

- Wide vocabularies
- The most useful thing about this assignment is that I was able to learn new words and
different sentences structures so as to improve my vocabulary and structure

2. What we found most difficult

- There were some difficult words that I did not hear in the listening.
- Part 2 was the most difficult one. I had to listen to the recordings carefully because
there were a lot of synonyms and paraphrase. The answers were easily mistaken so it
required more concentration than the other parts.

3. What we learned from the practice

- By listening to the recordings, I could improve my listening skill and knew how
how to identify many different synonyms

- I knew how to listen more effective

4. What we needed to do to improve our listening scores in the next practice

- I need to practise a lots to improve my listening skill.

- I will learn many new words and read the topic really carefull before doing the
listening test.
- Listen and practice more at home so that I wouldn’t lose track and could catch up
with the speakers’ speed
