what I already know and new
things I learn in SL.

12 After I hear an unfamiliar word, I 1 2 3 4 5
write it and translate it afterwards.

in English is a challenge for me.

guess the meaning of the words I
don’t understand.

knowledge to help me understand.

up and stop listening.

texts I may have listened to.

to English.
21 I use the general idea of the text 1 2 3 4 5
to help me guess the meaning of
the words that I don’t understand.
22 As I listen, I periodically asked 1 2 3 4 5
myself if I am satisfied with my
level of comprehension.

I have made a mistake in
