Listening task

You are going to listen to the video: 57 years apart:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqSxjmvXzzY&ab_channel=Facts.

My pieces of advice for you to develop this kind of activities are:

1. You can (and should) play it as many times as you require it. Don’t feel
stressed if you don't understand most of the talk at the first time; all
listening tasks require playing them more than once.

2. Considering the intermediate level of speaking and speed of this video, I

recommend you listen to it without subtitles. Instead, play it as many times
as you require.

3. Look for the unknow vocabulary. Below I share some of the terms used
throughout this video. You can search their meaning by using an online
dictionary like https://www.wordreference.com/
