Listening

 

Diego, Mexico	I would rather break up with someone because I like to be in control of things, so if someone breaks up with me, I wouldn't be in control of things, so that would change the status quote, and yeah, I would like break up with that person instead of that person breaking up with me.
Lia, Indonesia	I would rather have someone to break up with me because I know that if they break up with me, I can handle it quite good I guess, but if I break up with them, I just don't want to hurt their feelings.
Christophe, Belgium	I think I would prefer to break up with someone because if somebody breaks up with you, you just feel horrible. You feel like you're worth nothing, and you're completely alone in the world, so I would prefer to take the initiative by myself and not feel so bad about it.
Katia, Mexico	I would rather have somebody else to break up with me, but then of course, the situation, if it's different, and I have to do that step, then I'm willing to do that.
Tom, U.K.	I would rather have someone break up with me than break up with someone else because after you break up, people are always asking you, why? what happened? And if you can blame it on someone else, rather than making it look like you were the bad guy, it's so much easier.
Jess, U.K.	Ooh, that's a tough question. I think either way. If you break up with someone or they break up with you, it's not a pleasant experience, so I can't answer that. I'd rather not break up with anyone at all.

Post-listening

Bạn không phải nghe tất cả các từ được nói vì có những từ không cần thiết, cố nghe chỉ làm cho bạn mất tập trung với các từ quan trọng mà thôi.

Đặc biệt trong những bài thảo luận và trình bày ý kiến của nhiều người vè cùng một vấn đề, sẽ có rất nhiều từ  và cấu trúc được lặp đi lặp lại.

Eg. Nói về chủ đề như trên: " chia tay - bạn sẽ chủ động chia tay hay để cho người kia quyết định?" , người ta sẽ nhắc lại rât nhiều lần cụm từ " breaking up", " have someone break up with me"...

Vậy bạn nên làm gì?

hãy tập trung vào những thông tin mới được nói đến, và nhất định những thông tin mới đó sẽ được nhấn mạnh!

E.g. I would rather break up with someone because I like to be in control of things, so if someone breaks up with me, I wouldn't be in control of things, so that would change the status quote, and yeah, I would like break up with that person instead of that person breaking up with me.

( phần in đậm là phần cung cấp thông tin mới, bạn nên chú ý lắng nghe, còn phần in nghiêng gần như lặp lại những thông tin cũ và những cụm từ đã được nói đến trước đó, không nên quá mất thời gian vào những cụm từ đó.)

When You're Gone

I always needed time on my own I never thought I'd need you there when I cry And the days feel like years when I'm alone And the bed where you lie is made up on your side When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now [Chorus] When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok I miss you I've never felt this way before Everything that I do reminds me of you And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok I miss you We were made for each other Out here forever I know we were, yeah All I ever wanted was for you to know Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok I miss you...
