Friday's listening test

The test will have three main parts.

The first part will be a new lecture which is about 10 minutes long. The topic will be related to what we've read and listened to. Here, the focus will be on taking notes and answering short, factual questions.

The second part is a dictation from the reading on page 7 and will be about 100 words long. This is scored out of 10. With each mistake you lose 0.1 marks.

The last part is based on the lectures from the chapter (mainly activities 12 & 24). For this part you may bring in one piece of paper with notes on one side. The notes should be regular-sized writing (if typed, use a 12-point font.) The lectures will NOT be played during the test, so you must rely on your notes and your memory. There will be some short answer questions about dates, people, etc., but mostly the questions will focus on why or how something happened, or on explaining or comparing.
