TIPS Listening Part 2

Review the information in the instructions and visualise the speaker and the situation. Identify the type of information that is missing (whether it is a verb, noun, adjective or adverb) Read through the set of sentences and think about what type of information is missing. Be sure to read the whole sentence and make sure your answer fits grammatically! If you do not hear clearly whether a word is singular or plural, look at the rest of the sentence to see what is required .

Things you shouldn't

Don’t be easily tricked, not too obvious, be careful
