Targeted listening practice | With TED Video
Description
This lesson is a little bit different from conventional lessons to do with TED talks.
Firstly, you will need to download the document with the questions using the link below.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JaB2EnggDVhYC_IZd0u9BPc45GSxxBPh?usp=sharing
Once you have this, you will see that just under the title of worksheet there is a link to Tim Urban’s TED talk on YouTube. Watch the video as many times as you like, and answer the questions.
You should expect to take around 60-90 minutes to do this worksheet. Some people can do it faster, others take longer. Remember, it's not a contest!
When you have completed this, send me a booking request for this lesson and we will go through your answers and I will provide you with any missing answers or correct any wrong answers.
I have been making video projects like this for over 6 years, and people tell me that their level for listening and understanding improves greatly after just a couple of months of doing my worksheets.
This is for people with a good level of English. If you are below intermediate, this will be too difficult for you. Please also know that the purpose of the questions is not to make you suffer, but to help you understand the important parts of Tim’s talk.
If you should have any questions, feel free to contact me. There is an email address in the worksheet should you need it.
