							| The importance is great, the help is enormous, the effort is tremendous - this is how I would put it. You might want to have a look at this http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=352802#thetop. Usually all the students engage into this activity eagerly. This is a great way to make everybody work hard at listening. |  8 Jan 2010
