50%of everyday communication,listening,it seems,is the leasttaught.Listening is more than just hearing:it requires understanding.In aneducational setting,listening effectively is critical.Effective listening results indoing the right assignment,doing the assignment correctly,and taking noteseffectively.Doing these activities well results in learning and,most of the time,good grades.In a professional setting,listening is also critical.When youreceive an oral message,your response must be correct.If you fail to listen tocustomers or clients,you may lose their business,and your job!Ina personalsetting,listening effectively deepens your relationships.When we listen tosomeone,we say You are important without ever speaking a word.When wefail to listen,not only do we not receive the message,but we send themessage that we are just plain dumb.1.F2.T 3.T 4.F 5.TUnit2II.Listening SkillsIdentifying Numbers1.M:The stadium looks pretty big.How many people does it seat?W:It holds around

also a majorpart of American culture.Many Americans watch sports weekly,if not daily.Thousands of people attend professional and college sporting events to cheeron their local teams.Millions more choose to watch on TV and root from theirown living rooms.On TV,American football,baseball and basketball are themost popular sports.Soccer has a long way to go before it is on the samelevel with the big three.Although there is some overlapping,football isplayed in the fall,basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring andsummer.American professional teams are privately owned and
