As you listen to each conversation in Listening Part B, you should be trying to set the situation in your mind. You should be thinking the following thoughts:
- Who is talking?
- When does the conversation probably take placa?
- Where does the conversation take place?
- What is the source of information for the conversation?
Example
On the recording you hear:
(man) Why do you have so many books?
(Woman) I need them for my paper on George Washington.
Do you know how can I check them out?
(man) Yes, you should go downstairs to the circulation desk and fill out a card for each book.
You think:
Who is probably talking? (two students)
Where are they? (in the library)
What course are they discussing ? (American History)
