EXTRA LISTENING PRACTICE: Top 10 pet peeves

    • Further listening practice: Ex 1-Top ten pet peeves (edpuzzle platform).

Here's what you can do do deal with the listening "TOP TEN PET PEEVES"

This is a video with embedded questions for you to practise your listening. It's another video about pet peeves similar to the one about rants & raves we covered in class. This time the title is "TOP 10 PET PEEVES". Hope you enjoy it and helps you improve a bit your listening skills.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Option 1- CLICK ON THIS LINK and do it on your own: 

Option 2- LIVE MODE to be done in class with the rest of the group:

THINGS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO:

When the video pauses, have a look at either a note or a question for you to answer on the right side of the video. If the former, simply click on the button that says "Continue". If the latter, then you can do three things: 

a) Rewatch - This means watch again the video for you to be able to answer the question posed. 

b) Skip - If you do want to move on without answering the question. 

c) Submit - If you have already given an answer and want to send it for correction. You will get some feedback on the corrected answers so that you can compare them with yours. Then click on continue.

Good luck!

To check the edpuzzle listening about "Top 10 pet peeves", there's nothing you have to do but stop to read carefully once you submit your answer. Let me make myself understood. I mean, when the video stops and a question pops up so that you can fill in the gap, then you just need to rewatch the video as many times as you need and then once you write down your answer and click on the button "Submit" you will see below your answer the correct answer given to you as feedback by your teacher. Once you check whether you were right or wrong, you can click on the button "Continue" to move on and complete the rest of the questions in the listening exercise.

I'm afraid you will have to skip the two last questions of the video as the platform does not allow me to do so. Next time I'll be more careful to avoid this type of technological glitches.
