Doing practice tests is not enough to improve your listening skills. You should listen to a wide variety of sources and choose the topics of your interest. I believe that learning language can enrich your life in many ways.

The following is an extract from a lecture about “How children learn social behaviour” (Academic Listening Encounters, 2004). Listen to the recording and take note as you listen. You can read the main ideas I’ve written down here after completing your note.
