Now complete exercise 1 & 2 in your textbook on page 249-250 in the listening and speaking book.
Webquest:
Because the listening is about taekwondo work in groups and carry out a WebQuest about taekwondo. Create a presentation and then present it to the class your presentation should cover the following areas:
- What is Taekwondo?
- When did it start?
- Do you have to wear special clothing or use special equipment?
- Would you like to try this sport?
Bias:
Before listening you should think about who is talking and why. Sometimes people are “biased”: they will have a special reason to agree or disagree with something. For example, a jockey will say horse racing is the most interesting sport but a footballer will choose football. So if you think about the person, this can give you information about what they might think before they speak. You can then listen for words that help you understand their opinions.
Now that you understand what bias is complete exercises 4 & 5 from your listening and speaking book on pg 251
