Listening strategies that I use
1. Predict
Make guesses about what you may learn as you listen. Guessing helps your brain focus on the assignment. It doesn’t matter if your guesses are right or wrong. For instance, if the topic is a space mission to Mars, you might guess, “I bet it takes six months to get to Mars and it’s probably really cold. I don’t think people can survive on Mars.”

2. Connect
Help yourself better understand a listening assignment by thinking of things you already know about a topic. This helps your mind build connections between what you know and new information you will hear. Say to yourself things like, “This lecture about animal communication makes me think about how my dog lets me know that he needs to go outside. He runs to get a sock and brings it to me.”

3. Re-listen/Find a Fix
When you get bored or when ideas are hard, you need to find a way to get back on track. The best way to fix things is to re-listen. You don’t have to wait until the end to re-listen. Sometimes a quick backtracking and re-listening to a line or two can quickly clear up confusion. This is especially important at the beginning of an audio assignment. If you can’t re-listen, shift to a different listening strategy that helps you regain your focus. For instance, if you’ve been taking notes, and you’re becoming confused, figure out what is causing the confusion. Do you need to look up the meaning of some words, can you write down your questions, or should you try to summarize what you have understood so far?

Successful listening can also be looked at in terms of the strategies the listener uses when listening. Does the learner focus mainly on the content of a text, or does he or she also consider how to listen? A focus on how to listen raises the issue of listening strategies. Strategies can be thought of as the ways in which a learner approaches and manages a task, and listeners can be taught effective ways of approaching and managing their listening. These activities seek to involve listeners actively in the process of listening.
Reasons for difficulty in listening
1. Lack of concentration in listening to many people assume that listening is already a priority or failure to focus.
2. Lack of understanding of English accent.
3. Interpret words. A word will have a different meaning if it is coupled with certain words
Example:
See: visible
Look down: patronizing
Watch out: watch out
Search: check.
4. Cannot distinguish words and sounds.
Like - lake
Wait - white
Bad bed
Stupid - full
5. Less stamina or tired. When the body is tired, what is playing in listening will not be captured optimally.

this audio about Bangkok is famous for its street stall food. It seems like they're trying to take the model that's similar to the hawker centers in Singapore. There are pockets of areas in Bangkok where you can still get amazing street food on the street. It's easier for tourists. they suggest don't be afraid to try street food because not everything is dirty. when people think that, "Oh, the street food is dirty," you can see the kitchen. You literally are sitting next to the cook in the kitchen. You can see everything they're doing right in front of you. Whereas in a restaurant, you have no idea what goes on in the kitchen. Street food in Bangkok is quite cheap and tasty. so it is one of the attractions of tourists from outside the country and native people of Bangkok to love Bangkok.

Todd: So, Natalie, you were saying that you are a foodie.

Natalie: I'm a huge foodie.

Todd: And you are now in Bangkok, and Bangkok is famous for its street stall food, but that's changing.

Natalie: It is, so this is probably 70% of the reason why I moved to Bangkok because of the street food. So, yeah, the street food scene is changing. It seems like they're trying to take the model that's similar to the hawker centers in Singapore, so the hawker centers is basically where all of the street food carts that used to be on the corner of a street - what we call in Thai a soi - they've been moved into one big center, so almost like a deli center. I think it's in an effort to keep things clean, and to just have a hub where you get all of your food. It's easier for tourists. So that's happening a lot. There are pockets of areas in Bangkok where you can still get amazing street food on the street. Particularly in the business districts, like Silom. I think they will struggle to get their street food vendors off the streets because it is so convenient for people. When they leave work, it's right near the elevated sky train that we talked about earlier. People can just grab some noodles ... it's under a dollar ... get their dinner. Or perhaps they get their food to take away and then they go home. And these places are always really busy. There's usually a line to get in one of these street food places. They have little seats, little plastic chairs outside, and little metal tables, so you can eat there, but it is on the street, so there are areas now where you can get amazing street food, but it's not on the street anymore. It's in one of these small hawker-like centers.

Todd: Yeah, that's too bad because I ate street food going way back to 25 years ago, when I first moved here, and it's just the best. I never got sick eating street food for all my years. It's always clean and safe, and one of the things I really like about the street stall vendors that people don't talk about is that they're always really nice, and I have a theory about this. The people that own the street stalls, often, that's their own small little business, so they're the one that's in control of it, and I think mentally, they're just happier people. Rather than if you go in some restaurant, the service can be quite poor because that person is kind of in servitude. They're not really in control of their little economic endeavor. So I love the street stall people, because they're just so positive.

Natalie: Yeah, it does feel more entrepreneurial. And these guys ... something that I love about the street food as well, just while we're on the topic, is you walk down the street in Bangkok and there are all kinds of noises and there's color everywhere ... all the cars, the taxis, are super colorful; they're really famous for that ... but then you'll smell something. You will smell something being grilled, or you'll smell som tum ... this is where they have the pestle and mortar and they're mixing up papaya and salad and garlic, and ... the smell of fried garlic ... if you wanna sell something, just blast the smell of fried garlic out. You will get people in. And that's one of the things that I love about the street food here. And as you say, it is really cheap. And the thing is is these people have most likely been preparing this food since the night before. There is a huge misconception about street food being dirty, and obviously, of course there are gonna be places that have dirty street food and might make you sick, but the chances are, these people have been preparing these ingredients at home and then they've brought them into their street food cart and they're selling them all day, so they really care about what they're selling. And people go back time and time again. I can say that because I do, and I wouldn't go back if these people didn't make amazing food.

Todd: Yeah, and if people were sick, right, then they would lose their business.

Natalie: Yeah.

Todd: You know, it's almost illogical, because when people think that, "Oh, the street food is dirty," you can see the kitchen. You literally are sitting next to the cook in the kitchen. You can see everything they're doing right in front of you. Whereas in a restaurant, you have no idea what goes on in the kitchen.

Natalie: Yeah. So I can give you some advice for street food. Don't be scared of street food. Try it. But there are a couple of things that you can do to make it a little bit safer. If you're getting something that's grilled ... so we have something here called mu ping, which is pork, and it has a kind of sauce on the top of it, it's like coconut and spices, it's delicious ... and you'll get it for 10 baht. But sometimes it'll be sat out, and it might've been out for a while, so maybe you're worried about dirt on it or bacteria growing on it or flies getting on it or something like that. The grill is usually on the cart, so ask the street food vendor ... or just pick it up yourself and put it back on the grill. So that will ... the flames will kill off any bacteria that's on there. Just put it on there for a couple of minutes ... as long as you need to be happy ... and then you can eat it and it will be roasting hot, but you can be assured that there's nothing in it.

Todd: And they often do that themselves.

Natalie: Yeah.

Todd: Even if you don't ask. I've always wondered if they'll just flop it back on there really fast. Another thing that I love that they do in Thailand, too, is if you go to ... it's similar to the street food ... it's the hole-in-the-wall place where literally it's like a room with no door, and it's kind of an outdoor restaurant, and they have the hot water bucket, and you dip your spoon and fork in the hot water bucket. It's the most brilliant idea. It's something that almost restaurants should do, you know what I mean?

Natalie: Yeah, it's ingenious.

Todd: Yeah, I love that. It's like, "Okay, let's just sterilize it real fast."

Natalie: Yeah, so the idea is that the water's usually hot or boiling, so it will kill any bacteria that's on it. If you go to a street food place and perhaps they don't have that but they do have a table and chairs set up ... you get a box, usually, like a rectangular metal box ... and that has your chopsticks in it, or it has your spoon in it, or your knife and ... eh, we don't use knives in Thailand. It would be a spoon and a fork. Just use a napkin, wipe it down before you use it. They will have cleaned it before. I've never had any issue. But if you're not sure, just wipe it down with a napkin. There are always napkins.

Todd: Yeah, it's so clever.

famous thing about Bangkok is the motorcycle taxis, it's quite scary but it's probably the fastest and most cost-effective way to get around Bangkok. They know the streets very well and  get the fastest routes to your destination. For womens, they don't sit with both legs on - with one leg on each side of the motorcycle.
Bangkok has really long streets, it's kind of like the roots of a tree, like the roads will just go forever but then the motorcycle taxis still takes the people to their home. So it's also can make you very easy to get around this city.

This audio talk about fashion in Bangkok and the price. From clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. So, Bangkok's quite interesting because it has so many different ways. You can buy things on the street... You can buy things at the markets. You can buy things at the nice, air-conditioned malls.

Todd: So, I'm here with Jerri, and she's Thai, and we are in Bangkok. And we are going to talk about fashion. So, Jerri, Bangkok is a very, very fashion-conscious city.

Jerri: Yes, absolutely.

Todd: Shopping is huge here. So, let's talk about prices. So, first we'll talk about jeans. You are wearing jeans today. So, how much are an expensive pair of jeans in Bangkok?

Jerri: Well, that's funny that you ask because the price range for clothes here is quite wide, so you can go from 200 baht - Thai baht - for a pair of jeans up to 4000 Thai baht for a pair of jeans in a, like a, like, one of the top brands.

Todd: Wow. So, just so people know, 200 baht would be - in U.S. dollar that's about six dollars. And 4000 baht would be about 130 dollars.

Jerri: Yes. Yeah.

Todd: Wow.

Jerri: So, it's quite a, quite a difference there. But I would say that generally it will be in the range of 500 to 2000 Thai baht.

Todd: Okay. 500 to 2000. That's still pretty a wide gap.

Jerri: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Todd: Okay, cool. So those are jeans. What about, for women, a blouse?

Jerri: A blouse? I would say...for, like, a nice quality one, like, 500 Thai baht.

Todd: Okay. That's not bad.

Jerri: Yeah. That's alright.

Todd: Fifteen dollars, about. Okay. What's the most you would pay for a blouse?

Jerri: No more than 1000 Thai baht.

Todd: Okay.

Jerri: Yeah.

Todd: That's your, that's - what about the cheapest?

Jerri: The cheapest? Like, 300 Thai baht. Like, if you started going lower than 300 Thai baht, then you have to accept that the, you know, the quality - you might get to wear it not more than three times.

Todd: Okay.

Jerri: So, that's the price you pay.

Todd: Nice, alright. So, what about shoes?

Jerri: Shoes? It's - it also depends on where you go. So, Chatuchak market is known for affordable clothes, so the shoes there would be from 200 Thai baht to 500 Thai baht. But if you visit the more well-known stores and the department stores, then they can be from 500 Thai baht to 1000 Thai baht.

Todd: Okay, that's interesting. So, you mentioned Jatujak market - can you kind of talk about Jatujak market?

Jerri: Yes, so, this is one of the main activities for tourists to do when they visit Bangkok. It's a weekend market, so it's only open on Saturdays and Sundays. It's quite crowded, but it's definitely something you should do. There's a lot of souvenir stores, a lot of local shops, and, yeah, a place to shop for clothes. And it's not just for tourists, you also see a lot of Thais go there because all the stores there are reasonable - reasonably priced and they're quite trendy. Yeah, they have, like, different styles...stores that you won't find anywhere else.

Todd: Right. Oh, yeah, I've been there a couple of times. It's massive. It's really, really big.

Jerri: Yeah, it's massive. It takes about half a day to do the entire thing.

Todd: It's easy to get lost right?

Todd: If you go inside, you kind of don't know where you are.

Jerri: Exactly, exactly. Which I guess is also the fun part of it. It's like an adventure in itself, right?

Todd: Right, exactly. Okay, so, what about things like, like belts or, you know, like accessories?

Jerri: I would recommend going to Platinum Mall. This mall is located near Siam BTS station. It's known for its accessories that are, like, reasonably priced. So, at that - at Platinum Mall accessories can be from two - 100 Thai baht to not more than 1000 Thai baht, but usually in the range of 100 to 500 Thai baht.

Todd: Okay. Oh, wow.

Jerri: Yeah. But there's a whole floor, like, two floors that's dedicated to accessories. So, you can find necklaces, sunglasses, rings, earrings, about ten shops for each category, yes.

Todd: Oh, that's fantastic. So, Bangkok's quite interesting because it has so many different ways. You can buy things on the street...

Jerri: Yes.

Todd: You can buy things at the markets. You can buy things at the nice, air-conditioned malls.

Jerri: Yeah.

Todd: Yeah. What about online? Do you Thais shop online very much?

Jerri: Yeah. Online - online shops are becoming more and more popular now because it's quite convenient. You just get it delivered to you. Yeah, there's a lot of - a lot of more fashion brands that are online. On Instagram, for example. Yeah, so it's becoming a thing.

Todd: Oh, cool. Alright, thanks Jerri.

Jerri: You're welcome.

Schools can be filled with stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and even fatigue - but there is often no formal policy for students who need to prioritize their well-being. Hailey Hardcastle explains why schools should offer days of mental health and give students time to practice emotional hygiene without stigma. it really helps students become emotionally healthier, makes them think more positively, and is passionate about learning in school. I highly recommend this activity for Indonesian schools to immediately implement this in every school and it certainly has a great effect for students to develop better.
