Notes

I can take notes while listening, for example when someone is asking for information or explaining a problem. I can write notes conveying simple information of immediate relevance to friends, service people, teachers and others who feature in his/her everyday life, getting across comprehensibly the points I feels are important.

 

1. Podcasts

Listen to an English podcast via your favourite platform (Spotify, Apple podcasts, Google podcasts, etc.). Choose a podcast about any topic you are interested in, such as; football, gaming, animals, make up, politics, etc. Take notes while you are listening. Write down who is talking, what they are talking about, and try to look at the topic through different perspectives.

 

2. Videos

Watch instructional or explanatory videos about a topic that interests you. ASAPscience is a YouTube channel that covers many different topics. Choose a topic that interests you and take notes while watching the video. Write down key elements from the video in which you summarise the main ideas.

 

3. Articles

Read an article on B1 level. For this, you can use the British Council , British Council for teens, or Breaking News English (read articles on Level 4). Choose an article that interests you and write down key elements with which you summarise the main idea.
