i hate listenin too! its soooo boring and is always so stupid. any1 noticed how dumb the listening exercises are? its like "oh i booked accomodation at this hotel and my car broke down!" "Oh, maybe you can find another hotel!" or "Im feeling sick at the moment, i need some medicine" doctor ; "here is the medicine, take it every two hours until you feel better" or " a bird feel out of the tree, what should i do to make it feel better?"
arrrggghhh.. couldnt the listening tapes be more interesting and topical?
