This consists of a small table telling you a story overview, HINT, FULL TEXT and, if any, EXPRESSIONS.
STORY will give you story information more in detail. Usually, two characters are speaking, whose names you can find in the boxes SPEAKER1 and SPEAKER2.
RANK is information regarding how the English conversation might sound. You can mostly see two words. The first one means clearness of the conversation. Sometimes, it may be the character's feelings because feelings often affect how clearly characters speak. The second word shows you how fast they speak. RANK doesn't have any standard. It is just subjective.
HINT gives you ideas of the number of words spoken and the length of each word. It also include person's name and uncommon words. HINT will help you listen better.
If you print the page, you can write down on the paper what you have listened to. If you copy and paste HINT portion on blank Word sheet on your computer set in A3 or 11x17, you can type on the sheet what you have listened to.
By comparing your answer to FULL TEXT below, you will know how much you understand the conversation.
FULL TEXT includes the whole conversation except for some parts that we had a big difficulty in understanding, which is represented by ***.
In EXPRESSIONS, English slang and other expressions which may interest you are introduced. Here, you can get familiar with American culture as well as live American English.
