Listen and ask for clarification
Identify missing information and request clarification.
Listening serves a task; it does not require catching every word. In The class starts at seven on Thursday, the important details are seven and Thursday. If the number is unclear, guessing can create more trouble than asking.
Keep three repair phrases: Could you say that again? Could you speak more slowly? Did you say seven or eleven? Confirm with So, Thursday at seven? Restating checks meaning rather than mechanically repeating everything.
This lesson currently provides a written script, not verified audio. Ask a partner to read it, or practise the clarification phrases after reading. Reading a transcript does not count as a completed listening test.
