First Listen (No Writing): Students listen to the audio/video and focus on general understanding Second Listen (With Notes): Students take notes on any comparatives, superlatives, or adverbs of frequency they hear. Comprehension Check: What is the main topic of the conversation? What words do the speakers use to compare things? How often does the speaker say they do certain activities?
