Flashcards

listening: Paying full attention to what someone is saying — not just hearing, but understanding
directions: Step-by-step instructions that tell you what to do
first: The order word for the beginning step — do this one first!
next: The order word for what comes right after the first step
then: Another order word meaning 'after that' — used in the middle steps
last: The order word for the final step — you are almost done!
active listening: Listening with full focus: stop what you are doing, look at the speaker, think about what you hear
order words: Words that tell you the sequence of steps: first, next, then, last, finally
Good listener rules: 1. Stop and look. 2. Listen to the end. 3. Think before doing.
forgetting a direction: The smart move: politely ask the teacher to repeat it — 'Could you say that again, please?'
sequence: The order that steps happen in — first, second, third
finally: Another word for 'last' — signals the very last step in a set of directions
