15. Alright, we’ve discovered 10 new vocabularies of listening 2. Now, you can do the
Listening quiz 2 on ELOLMS.

When you finish practicing Listening 2, let’s think about these questions. You can find
some of your classmates to discuss.

1. The speaker states that leadership and power are not the same. What do you think are
 some differences between leadership and power?

2. According to the lecture, some successful executives begin to “blur the lines” between
leadership and power. They act as if the leadership and power are the same thing. Why do
you think this happens?

Now, let’s move on to vocabulary Skill: Understanding meaning from context

16. One way to figure out the meaning of a word is from the context of the sentence it is in.

Use the words around the unknown word to help you understand the new word.

Let’s look at this example:

She started as a coat checker at Maggie’s Place … and, after a series of promotions,
eventually became general manager.

The speaker mentions that Ms. Delany “started” in one position and “eventually became
17.
general manager.” These words describe making [progress in a company over time. The
context tells you that promotion means receiving a higher position or a more important
job.

It also helps to consider the presentation as a whole, not just one sentence.

18. Now look at the 2nd example:

Knowing someone will fit in doesn’t alleviate other problems. Carly Drum has hired four
trusted friends to work at her family’s executive search firm … One of them had great
potential but was bringing her personal problems to the office. It was affecting her work.
 The speaker uses several sentences to describe a problem that developed when Carly
Drum hired a friend. From this context, you may be able to figure out that to alleviate
problems means to solve, correct, or remove the problems.

You can have more practice on this part by doing the vocabulary quiz on ELOLMS.

Now, you’ve finished Listening 1 and Listening 2 of unit 1. Let’s think about these
questions and choose some of your friends to discuss.

1. Power can affect relationships and individuals in a negative way. What are some
positive effects power may have?
19.

2. Both listenings offer advice to bosses. Which advice do you think is the most valuable?
Is there any advice that you disagree with? Why?

That is the end of the lesson today. In this lesson, we’ve learned a lot of new vocabularies
about the topic “Best of Both Worlds?” and “Myths of effective leadership”. We also
20.
practice listen for main ideas and listen for details. We also learn how to organize notes
about main ideas with a chart.

21. Thank you for your attention. Goodbye and see you in the next lesson.
