Step2 Prediction
Skills building 1completing a quiz
1．What should you do when completing a quiz?
1) Before you fill in your answer, read the question a second time and be sure you understand
what is being asked.
2) Write you answer in a complete sentence. You do not want the judge to misunderstand your
answer because you have left out some words.
3) Read both the question and the answer again. Be sure that you have answered the whole
question and that you have spelt everything correctly.
Step 3 First listening
1．Ask the students to guess what questions will be asked in the radio program and what the
answers will be.
2．Listen to the tape for the first time, answer Questions 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10.

information to answer some of the remaining questions on the quiz.
1．What is a studio?
