Good afternoon LINC 7,
This afternoon, we're going to practice some different types of listening. The first tasks are IELTS listening tasks. First, you will try an IELTS practice listening test. I will give you an answer sheet to record your answers on. Please pay close attention to the directions and spelling. Writing too many words or spelling them incorrectly is considered an incorrect answer. :(

Next, go the following website, "BBC: 6 Minute English" and choose a podcast that interests you. Once you've listened to it, write a brief summary of what you've heard. Make sure to use your own words. Do not use direct quotes. Also, don't forget to include the title of the podcast that you choose. Your writing is due at the end of class.
