Lesson 1 : Focus on the second line
- As you listen to the second line of the conversation, you should focus on the key ideas in that line.
- If you see a restatement of the key idea(s) in a particular answer, then you have probably found the correct answer.
- Do not choose answers with words that sound similar to the words on the recording

don’t look very good.
