UNIT 2

Lesson A. IN-CLASS LISTENING

Pre-Listening Vocabulary

Look trough the list of proper names used in the recording.

Margaret Rowntree Baker and Parsons

Robert Carter Lacy’s

Stuart MarstonStreet

Grange Square

Study the language note.

Some students are likely to confuse ‘in front of’ and ‘opposite’ (because of misleading equivalents in other languages). The complete use of both expressions is quite complicated; it’s probably enough to explain that we normally use ‘opposite’, not ‘in front of ‘, for the case where two people or things face each other across a gap or barrier.

Listening Exercises
