Q: What should I do if I'm not really good at listening?
A: Listen to the podcasts as many times as you like, repeat what the speaker says (it may help you process to comprehend). If you are still having difficulties, do 1 additional podcast. Doing so will allow me to collect more evidence to establish your current level of comprehension and I can be more flexible in grading all of your podcasts if you choose to challenge yourself with additional practice.
