Strategies
1.listen for keywords
2. take notes
3.check in dictionary if I do not know the meaning of the word

Evaluate

1.This was helpful and I could generally know the main idea. However, the speaker   talks fast, so I still cannot hear everything in this way.

2.Taking notes was quite hard for me this time. I only wrote down some keywords. I have watched this video for 6 times, but I still cannot get some words or sentences. However, it is useful to get the main topic.

3.Actually I did hear some new words, but I could not spell them correctly. I tried to search them in the dictionary and I got some words such as double-barreled, archaeologist. However, I cannot find all of them.

 Reflection

1.Listening for keywords is a good way to understand the main idea, but some   details can be missed sometimes.

2. Note taking is a bit unrealistic to do in general. I think I should find a friend to do the same thing, and then we can compare our notes and talk about what we heard.

3.using this method, I am able to learn some words. However, it is really take time to guess and find out these words. Perhaps I do not need to know every words and I should guess the meaning of the words. Next time I should choose right level of listening for me.
