I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking. You are learning English with www.engvid.com. That's E-N-G-V-I-D dot com. Today, we are going to practice our listening and comprehension skills. In this lesson, you will hear four scenarios. At the beginning of each scenario, I will give you three questions. As you listen to each scenario, keep these questions in your mind because we will review them at the end of each of the four listening scenarios. As a bonus listening practice, I will also give you one extra question at the end of each scenario that will not be on the board. So, this is just a way for you to get some extra practice. Now, this is a listening lesson, so please feel free to pause, to rewind, and also to read the transcript when you are finished with the lesson. And if you enjoy this lesson, at the end, make sure to check out the quiz on www.engvid.com for some extra listening practice. The questions will be different from the questions you hear in this video. So, let's not waste any more time. Here we go with scenario number one. As you listen to scenario number one, keep these questions in mind. Number one, "How old is Thomas?" Number two, "What is Thomas's job?" And number three, "What does Thomas want to do in the future?" And don't forget, at the end of this scenario, I will give you an extra question, so listen carefully. Now, listen to the scenario. "My name is Thomas. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, with my dog, Rusty. My birthday is on May 18th, and I am 32 years old. When I was a kid, I wanted to become a soccer player, but I changed my mind as I got older. Now, I work as an accountant for a shoe company in downtown Edmonton. I have been working there for five years, and I like it a lot. I'm still single, but I don't mind. I like my freedom, and Rusty keeps me company. One day, I want to drive across Canada. I think Rusty and I would have a great time on the open road." Now, it's your turn to answer the questions. To review, number one, "How old is Thomas?" The answer, "Thomas is 32 years old." Number two, "What is Thomas's job?" The answer, "Thomas is an accountant." Number three, "What does Thomas want to do in the future?" "He wants to drive across Canada." And now, for the bonus question. Let's see if you paid attention, and let's test your memory. "When he was a kid, what did Thomas want to become?" You can go back and listen again if you need to. I'm going to give you the answer now. "When he was a kid, Thomas wanted to become a soccer player." So, remember, you can always rewind the lesson, you can turn on closed captioning, and you can also read the transcript on YouTube to double-check your answers if you're not 100% sure. Now, let's move on to scenario number two. As you listen to scenario two, keep these questions in mind. Number one, "What did the narrator give Tina when Tina came downstairs?" Number two, "Where did Tina want to go after school?" Number three, "Which card game did they play in the evening?" Now, listen to the scenario. "Yesterday was a busy day. It was my daughter Tina's birthday, so I woke up early and prepared her favorite breakfast, waffles and strawberries with chocolate sauce. When Tina got out of bed and came downstairs, I gave her a huge hug and said, 'Happy birthday!' A few minutes later, my wife got up and joined us at the kitchen table. While the three of us ate, we talked about our plans for the day. Tina said that she wanted to go to her grandparents' house after school, so that's exactly what we did. In the evening, we had cake, sang 'Happy Birthday,' and played Tina's favorite card game, 'Go Fish.' It was a great day." Did you catch everything? Let's ask those questions one more time. […]
