Listening Strategy 1
It is sometimes difficult to catch names and proper nouns when you listen. However, you can use the words around them (including collocations) to work out what they are (a person, a place, etc.). For example, if you hear 'We stayed four nights at the Grand Plaza', the underlined words tell you that the Grand Plaza is a hotel.
(Chiến lược nghe 1
Đôi khi rất khó để nắm bắt tên và danh từ riêng khi bạn nghe. Tuy nhiên, bạn có thể sử dụng các từ xung quanh chúng (bao gồm cả các cụm từ ghép) để tìm ra chúng là gì (một người, một địa điểm, v.v.). Ví dụ, nếu bạn nghe thấy 'Chúng tôi đã ở bốn đêm tại Grand Plaza', những từ được gạch chân sẽ cho bạn biết rằng Grand Plaza là một khách sạn.)
