Dictation WRITE WHAT YOU HEAR activity 2 for Duolingo English test and general English practice

This video is a Dictation, or write what you hear activity. This is useful for the Duolingo English Test as well as excellent preparation for note-taking activities or general English.
At the beginning of the video, I talk about the Duolingo English Test dictation and then give you practice sentences. At the end of the video, I show you the answers.

Thank you very much Sally, I managed to score 130 on the first try with the help of your content. As non-native English speaker, I am very glad that I found your content a night before the exam.

[@TeacherSally]

I'm glad you did, too! Congratulations on your great score!!

[@TeacherSally]

Notice- the answer to sentence 4 should include "eating"- thank you Antonio!

[@paulinavegat]

yep, I've noticed too...we forgive you just because your videos are extremely helpful hehe.

[@TeacherSally]

@@paulinavegat I'm glad they are useful! I need to do a better job of proofreading, though! That's my goal for my next few videos! haha

[@hafsakhan4240]

[@OEMM71]

Absolutely! I first wrote the missing word and then I erased it. :s

[@Ms.marupoktv]

[@RabidTales]

Thanks for the video. I needed a new icebreaker exercise for a new student I'm teaching. This is a fun, interactive way to test most of the skills right from the beginning. Cheers

It was helpfull, many time ago I was looking for this kind of dictate, I saw that I have many problems with the identification of past times. I'm almost not even to listen those "ed" sometimes, just when I got totally the context actually, at least I got the most of the words. I hope to keep working with this channel.

Thank you Sally, I am watching your videos many times per day. I am trying to improve my score in Duolingo, I have tried twice (105 and 110) but I still haven't be able to get the score I need :( (115) Your videos are very helpful.

[@TeacherSally]

You're so close!! Which section is the most difficult?

[@natalyhidalgo1367]

@@TeacherSally The Conversation section is my weakness. I need to improve my listening and speaking, also I need to use an advanced vocabulary. I feel hard try to get that score, I know I'm close but I cannot improve much. But I'm still trying :)

[@TeacherSally]

​@@natalyhidalgo1367 The speaking sections are hard. It's hard to think that fast! I think there are a couple of options for boosting the score. You could work on a section that's not your best but not your worst. My thought is that if you're already fairly good at it, then it may be easier to boost up a bit. The other option is to pick one of your weaker skills to focus the most effort on. Good luck! I know you can do it!!

[@antoniocarlosparish2993]

Sentence 4: in the first audio has the word EATING. However in the answer don't.

Thank you so much teacher sally for making these videos for us. Can I ask some questions?

Of course!

[@al-kaviulsarker9733]

Teacher Sally, I went through the test once but I found quiet a few bigger sentences therein the listening portion and the most prominent thing was, the sentences were spoken faster. Would you please make a video with such resources and materials that we can cope up with the difficulty level of the real test, mam? And thanks for everything you are trying to help us with.

[@TeacherSally]

I will do more dictations. I have a couple in this channel. Everyone gets such different sentences depending on their level, but yes I will make a video with difficult dictations.

[@deepikamalani1355]

Thank you Ma'am! (Teacher Sally). I have seen all your videos and it have helped me a lot. Can you please tell me if I don't put any commas in the sentence, will that do?

[@TeacherSally]

It won't matter much. They said punctuation doesn't count as much as the words.

Hi dear, thanks for your continuous effort and support by replying the answer once we ask question in the comment section. It means really a lot to us and admittedly, i am loving your assistance! Would you mind helping me sort out a problem? While i take a 15 minute sample test, i get 110-135, what does it mean exactly? Do i need to improve lot more? Thanks in advance!

[@TeacherSally]

I'm glad you are enjoying my channel and finding my replies helpful! I'm trying to keep up 😉 The practice test score is a range. They say that its a guess of the lowest to highest score you could get on the real test considering the questions and length will be different. Basically, it seems like people usually score in the middle of that number.

Excuse me, a question. Is this practise useful to improve what exaclty? and plus, is this practise positive to improve any level? From the beginning to the advaced? Let me know if you can !!! In the meantime, I subscribe your channel. Very productive one!

[@TeacherSally]

Most of the videos on my channel so far are specifically for an English test called the Duolingo English Test. These are specific to that test, but practicing the questions is also useful for general English practice. I am planning some upcoming videos that are not specific to a particular test. Thank you for subscribing to my channel. You can also request any specific video types that you’d like me to make 😺 welcome to my little KZbin family!
