Finding the main ideas [1JFinding the main idea while l istening can be diff icult. Unlike with written Loxts, you usually cannotgo back over the matenial to look for the main idea, However, some speakens make it much easiento find thein main idea by using phrases like The/My main point is... , The point / want to makeis ... , The important thing is ... , / want to te// you/ta/k about... , /'d like to te// you/ta/k about ...or Letb talk about ... , Often speakers will say thein main idea early in a talk, then give details tosupport thein point. However, this is not always the case-some speakens wil l say their main ideanear the end of a talk.To help students learn which phnases to l isten fon when f inding a main idea, you can give themseveral wnitten sentences and have them identify the ones that look l ike main ideas. Have themunder"l ine the phnases that introduce the main ideas. For examole:' /'d like to talk about what students in other parts of the world wear at school. [main idea]. Not a// countries require students to wear a school uniform. [detail]. ln Australia, there are usuallyiust two grade /eve/s. ldetail]' The point / want to make is that in other countries, the school systems are different.

Finding word meaningsWhen you hean a wond or phnase you do not know, you can often guess its meaning fr^omthe wonds anound it . Often new wor ds ar e defined by the speaker. Speakers may begin suchdefinitions using words like which is/meansl... a gaod diet, which is what you eat regu/arly, / ... aba/anced diet, and that means eating the right amounts of different foodsl. Sometimes a speakerwill give a definition fir"st, then say the new word or phnase after calledlThings made from mtlk,like cheese, yogurt and buttec called dairy products, ..1Sometimes speakers wil l also give examples to help make new words on phrases clean Lists ofexamples often come after for examp/e, such asor lrke[dairy products such as mi/k, cheese,yogurt and butter ..1. Also, speakers may say a series of similar things together, so you might beable to guess the meaning of a new wor d by other similan words around itl... butter or margarine...] . l t may also be helpful for students to guess which part of speech the wond is [noun, verb,adjective, adverb, etc.] by where it comes in a sentence.

ldentifying the speaken's opinionsRecognizing when a speaker is giving an opinion is a veny impor"tant l istening ski l l . You should beable to tel l the difference between opinions and facts. Speakens often show they are giving anopinion using phrases such as /fdon'tJ think... , You should/shouldn't... , / [don'tJ be/ieve .,. , ltb agood/bad idea ... , Maybe you could... or ln my opinion ... .Sometimes speakens do not use the above phrases when giving their opinions. To decide if astatement is an opinion or a fact, you should think about whether most other people would agreewrth the statement. Some phnases such as, for example, for instanceand such a.scan show thatspeakers are giving examples on facts to suppont their^ opinions.

@"@Listen to the class report.Let's tolk obout two things thot I think ore very importontwhen we tolk obout heolthv eotinq: whot we eot ond when weeot.So, looking first ot whot we eot, we must remember thot weoll need o bolonced diet, ond thot meons eoting the rightomounts of the different food groups. I'll give you someexomples. We need more groin food-which is food modefrom wheot, rice, oots ond corn-becouse it gives our bodiesenergy ond helps them grow. But our bodies don't need muchfot, so we need to eot Iess sweets ond not use too much butteror morgorine on our breod.When we eot is olso importont. Skipping breokfost or lunch isnever o good ideo. We need to eot in the morning ond in theeorly ofternoon so thot we hove the energy to study, do ourhomework or ploy sports during the doy. At night we con eotIess because we don't need much energy for sleeping.

the statements.L Cereol ond rice ore exomples of breokfost foods. For

lunch, there ore mony heolthy foods you con eot. You conhove sqndwiches, fruit or yogurt.

2 Our bodies don't need much fot, so we shouldn't eot o lotof fried foods. Now, we should be coreful ot whot timewe eot these foods, becouse when we're osleep our bodiescon't use the energy made by fats.

3 So eoting the right kinds of foods is very importont. Ithelps you keep o bolonced diet. Exercise is olso veryimportont for good heolth. It helps you burn energy.

Listen to the passage.Eoting o voriety of food gives you o more bolonced diet. Hereore some woys to do it. For breokfost, odd sliced bonona toyour cereol. If you're hoving o sondwich for lunch, put somevegetobles in it, Iike pickles and olives. For on afternoonsnock, odd fruit to your yogurt, such os strowberries or slicedpeoches. For dinner, hove some pototoes with your meot.

the class report.Sondwiches con be nutritious becouse you con put differentkinds of food in them to help keep you heolthy. You con oddvegetobles such as sliced lettuce ond tomoto.
