[12:06.65]I started looking at some radios in the next window.
[12:11.35]After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand.
[12:16.23]There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face.
[12:21.33]I hadn't taken my wife's hand.
[12:25.82]I'd taken the hand of a complete stranger!
[12:30.71]A parking Problem When our first child was born
[12:36.51]I gave up working.
[12:39.72]But now I've decided to find a job
[12:43.61]because we need money for a new house.
[12:47.50]Last Thursday I made an appointment to apply for a job.
[12:52.68]This was my first job interview since I quit working
[12:57.67]and I was a bit nervous.
[13:00.67]I drove into town and I was lucky
[13:05.27]enough to find a parking space outside the bank.
[13:09.76]I'd just started reversing in to the space
[13:13.97]when another car drove into it.
[13:17.96]I was furious!
[13:20.97]I opened my window and shouted at the other driver.
[13:25.67]He ignored me and walked away
[13:29.25]It took me twenty minutes to find another space.
[13:33.84]As soon as I had parked the car
[13:37.35]I rushed back to the company.

[14:08.04]Note-Taking
[14:11.15]3.Now listen to carefully to the passage twice
[14:16.53]and as you listen,take some notes on the following points
[14:22.93]Today I'm going to talk about reviewing for exams.
[14:28.73]The first thing to do is start your reviewing
[14:32.93]well before the exam is due.
[14:36.75]You should start your review at least two months beforehand
[14:41.95]Before you start any review
[14:45.45]you need to know your best time for studying.
[14:49.63]Some people find it best to get up early and study before breakfast
[14:54.90]Other people find that their minds are more active
[14:59.32]in the evening and so they do their studying then.
[15:04.02]Try studying at different times to find out
[15:08.20]when your brain is most receptive.
[15:12.09]You should always make up a timetable for your review.
[15:16.58]This is particularly important if you have several subjects to study
[15:22.49]And once you set yourself a timetable stick to it.
[15:27.79]Don't give in to the temptation to watch TV
[15:32.39]or go out with friends
[15:35.58]there'll be plenty of time for that sort of thing after the exams
[15:40.85]But do make sure your timetable includes regular short breaks
[15:46.47]No one can concentrate nonstop,
[15:50.47]and we all work best if we take a few minutes' break
[15:55.17]every half hour or so.
[15:58.75]It's a good idea to use more than your normal textbook
[16:03.34]and notes for review.
[16:06.63]Try to find another book on the subject you are studying
[16:11.34]and trade notes with a classmate.
[16:15.33]You may be so familiar with your usual books and notes
[16:20.43]that you will not take too much notice of what is in them
[16:25.13]Using new books and notes will stimulate your mind
[16:30.22]and perhaps give you some fresh ideas on the subject
[16:35.32]You may find it worth-while to review with a friend
[16:39.71]of the same ability as yourself.
[16:43.60]Your study periods will become more interesting as a result,
[16:48.38]because you can discuss the subject
[16:52.19]ask one another questions and pinpoint areas
[16:57.08]that are unclear to you so that you can give them extra attention
[17:02.67]This is much more educational than trying to learn
[17:06.85]a subject parrot-fashion.
