Hellop!!
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone have any tips for a listening task that we have for discovery tomorrow? We get to listen to the text twice, then we have to answer short answer questions, then write an essay on that area of discovery...
Any tips as to how to study for it would be vvv muchly so appreciated
Thanks once again!!
The advanced/standard English Question thread would have probably been a better place to post it, but you'll still get a response here
Basically, the first time you listen to it, try to pull out key themes, ideas, and types of discoveries from the rubric. Do you get the questions before you hear the listening? If so, that could give you an indication of what discoveries to listen out for!
The second time you should basically be writing down as much of the text word for word as possible - you will need a few good quotes for your responses and your essay. Don't try analyse them too much while the text is being played, you might hear another quote while you are writing. So just try to get as much of the text written down as possible.
For the essay, you may be able to look the text up, as you will know its content. This could provide more accurate quotes/context etc.
Studying is hard, as you don't know the exact content, so basically look over your rubric, know your different types of discoveries, have a bank of techniques you can use, practice off past papers if you have them?
Hope this helps, and good luck!
