In his book “Keys to Communication: An Essential Guide to Communication in the Real World”, Walker (2016) says that “adults spend about 45 percent of their time listening, which is more than any other communicative activity”. Therefore, developing and improving listening abilities is important for effective communication, and listening strategies are useful tools in that journey. Which of the alternatives below is a suggestion that helps with the strategy “listening for gist”?

Focus on the content words, so the listener can understand the context and the main idea of the message.

Detect “signposts” that help to understand how the speaker links their ideas. In a lecture, for example, “moving on to” means the speaker has finished talking about one of the topics proposed.

Use previous knowledge and other information available, such as images or gestures, to infer the meaning of words that the listener might not recognize.

Predict the use of combined words, such as verbs and prepositions that are usually paired up together, like “interested” and “in”.

Practice listening while reading a script in order to get used to different pronunciations of known vocabulary according to the surrounding words.

TEXT II

If you think that theres something oddly familiar about
descriptions of social media, it may be that you recall some of
the discussions in the 1990s about what the web would
become. And many of its emerging manifestations are close to
the idealistic imaginings from that time. A good way to think
about social media is that all of this is actually just about being
human beings. Sharing ideas, cooperating and collaborating to
create art, thinking and commerce, vigorous debate and
discourse, finding people who might be good friends, allies and
lovers its what our species has built several civilisations on.
Thats why it is spreading so quickly, not because its great
shiny, whizzy new technology, but because it lets us be
ourselves only more so. And it is in the more so that the
power of this revolution lies. People can find information,
inspiration, like-minded people,communities and collaborators
faster than ever before. New ideas, services, business models
and technologies emerge and evolve at dizzying speed in social
media.
