Skills building 1: listening for specifics
In this part, you will learn how to listen for problems and the causes of the problems. We always have something specific to listen for when we listen to something. We should try to seize the key phrases or sentences that are relevant.
First let’s have a discussion about the following questions:
If we want to know what the problem is when we are listening to a news report, what phrases or sentences should we pay special attention to?
(The problem is that…/As you can see…/The result is …/This means …)
If we want to know what has caused the problem when we are listening to a news report, what should we pay special attention to?
(This is because…/This problem has been caused by…/Unfortunately, …/…as…)
Step 1: finding out about problems
1. Now read the guidelines in Part A on page 58 to find out what you’ll listen for and what you are asked to do in this part. Go over the table in Part A. Then listen to the tape, trying to complete the table.

Tapescript
Reporter: Here I am in northern Thailand. As you can see, the families living here are living in v ery poor conditions. There is no running water and no electricity in this village. Water has to be collected from the river 10 minutes’ walk away. This may seem near but when you need water for many things, walking 10 minutes is a long time. The water then needs to be boiled before it can be used. The result of not boiling the water is illness. As you can see, the villagers’ houses are built of wood and are not very strong. This is because they have no money and cannot get hold of any materials. The people have very few things like clothes or furniture because they have no money and they are a long way from the nearest town. There is a bus but you have to walk six kilometers to get to the nearest road.
As I said earlier, there is no electricity in this village, so when it is dark, the only light comes from the small fires that the family cooks over. Unfortunately, much of the forest around the village has been cut down for firewood and so the villagers have to walk further and further away from the village to get wood. This also means that water may not be boiled for long enough as there is very little wood. This is going to be a big problem in the future.
