 Here are some listening exercises regarding voice messages and talks from Unit 11

 

For each page below, try to identify the following three things, as we did in Unit 11.

Step 1 - Introduction - Who is calling? Who does the speaker want to talk to?

Step 2 - Purpose/background - Why are they calling? What problem does the speaker describe?

Step 3 - Request/Suggestion/option - What does the speaker want to do next? What do they suggest?

After you listen to each exercise, read the script and PRACTICE LISTENING again.
