CHAPTER 2
LISTENING COMPREHENSION
A. Skill 1: Focus on the last line
The short dialogues involve conversations between two people, each followed by a question. It is important
to understand that the answer to this type of question is most often (but now always) found in the last line
of the conversation.

Strategy 1: Focus on the Last Line
1. The last line of the dialogue probably contains the answer to the question.
2. Listen to the first line of the dialogue, if you understand it, that’s good. If you don’t understand it,
don’t worry because probably it doesn’t contain the answer.
3. Be ready to focus on the last line of the dialogue because it probably contains the answer. Repeat the
last line in your mind as you read through the answer in the text.
