• When listeners give equal weight to everything they hear, it makes it difficult to organize and retain the information they need.

Choose the correct picture. In my back yard I have a bird feeder. Yesterday, there were two birds and a squirrel fighting for the last few seeds in the bird feeder. The squirrel was on top of the bird feeder while the larger bird was sat at the bottom of the
