What did you miss?

Now that we have listened for gist and understand the main points from the video, it is important that we listen again and try to focus on the detail that we might have missed the first time around.

When you are listening to a lecture it is a good idea to quickly write down any words or information you don’t understand so that you can spend time finding the definitions for these words after the lecture and use these words to complete your understanding of what has been said.

Watch the video again. This time, focus on the detail and make a note of any words you don’t understand.

Your task

Which words or phrases would you like to learn more about? Share them in the comments and have a look at what your fellow learners have written.

You might like to use the transcript to help you identify new words and phrases.

You will have an opportunity throughout the rest of the course to research what these words mean and use them to write your own definitions and practise using a dictionary.
