Journalists have been waiting outside the court house all day hoping to get news of what has been happening inside the court room. They took a brief break at lunchtime and some of the witnesses could be seen congregating outside but so far we have not had any news about the accused or what his lawyer has presented to the court. We will bring any updates to you as soon as they come in.

He walked back into the school building, wiping his muddy hands onto his jeans. Strolling back into the classroom, he didn't even look at the teacher. The rest of the class was busy with their work and failed to notice his arrival. She looked up from her work and gave him a questioning stare. "That was a long time to take at the bathroom,“ she said. "Sorry, yeah," he said, offering no excuse. "Can you see me after the class please?" she asked. Oh no... He would have to offer some sort of excuse this time. What could he say?
Editor's Notes
- #2: Listening level 8
- #3: Big amount processing
- #4: The main purpose of this lesson is to learn how to process information that you hear in a speech, announcement or story. First it is important to note that if you cannot remember everything then you should write down the important points. Do not worry about the notes making sense or being in order. You can organise everything later. Make sure you write down the most relevant information. To check your understanding, you should always try to summarize the story and retell it in your own words. While you are doing this, you will organize the information and digest what you have read.
- #5: Announcements can be heard in many different situations - in department stores, movie theatres, train stations, airports, museums.. They are given for one reason - to give information to the listener. For this reason, they are usually short, to-the-point and often repeated. Key points to notice are numbers (date, time, price..), places mentioned (for example, where you need to go to do what..) and also verbs (what you need to do) News reports are also usually short and straightforward. If you listen to the first few lines of a report, you will usually hear the most important information. What follows tends to be supplementary to the story.
- #6: Stories are perhaps the most difficult to follow because there are many different styles in which stories are written. The most important information however, can usually be found after identifying the subject and verb pair in a sentence. It is important to remember the sequence of events when you are processing the information that you have heard.
- #7: To organize the information you must first identify what information is the most important. Then, look at what you have written down so far and try to add in extra information that you remember from the speech. Summarize what you have heard, focusing on the main points. Finally, pretend that you are making the announcement or giving the speech to someone who has not heard it before.

- #10: If you have managed to correctly identify and digest the important information, you should be able to retell the story in your own words. It is not important to remember every word or memorise exactly how the story was told. You need to concentrate on the basic outline of the story, remembering important things like who did what, where, when, why and how. If you find it difficult to do this, then news reports can often be the best starting point. They tend to be simpler and summarise the information for you.
