Prayer

Lord, teach me to be generous,

to serve you as you deserve to be served,
to give without counting the cost,
to fight without counting the wounds,
to work without seeking rest,
to spend my days without asking anything in
return
except for the knowledge that I am doing your
holy will. Amen
Finding Relevant
Information and
Making
Generalizations
Learning Goals
• Extract important and useful
information from various listening
sources.
• Make generalizations from listening
texts.
Informational Listening

• emphasizes the listener’s ability to

group and understand useful ideas and
information from different listening
sources.
• mental or written notes of key ideas or
main points are often necessary.
Generalization
• is a broad statement based on specific
instances, details or facts.
• must be supported by evidence
provided in the listening text, or by
proofs and examples in real life.
Read the following passage:

Ginger is one of my best friends. When I

enter my home, she races to greet me
with kisses and excited leaps. She acts
like it’s been eight days since she’s seen
me, instead of the actual eight hours.
Her coat is honey born; her eyes are
large and loving.
She’s a six month old cocker spaniel
puppy, a breed originally intended to
hunt birds in England. Her faithful
companionship comforts me when I’m
sad or sick. Her playfulness makes me
laugh when she races after a toy I’ve
tossed. All cocker spaniels make perfect
pets.
What Generalization is Being Made in The
Passage?
• All cocker spaniels make perfect pets.
• Is this a valid generalization?
• Does the author:
– Use facts to support the idea?
– Share past experiences to support the idea?
– Provide several examples?
– Use logical thinking?
