1.5 Active Listening

• Wild animals: der Löwe, der Elefant, die Schlange, das Zebra, die Giraffe
• Tour places: der Nationalpark, der Schlangenpark; ich fahre nach Nairobi, nach Mombasa
• Travel words: das Ticket, der Bus, der Zug; mit dem Bus, mit dem Zug
• denn gives the reason: Ich fahre nach Nairobi, denn der Nationalpark ist schön / billig
• Hörverstehen notes: gist first, then Wohin / Womit / Welches Tier / denn-reason
• Safety: stay with the group, own ticket, seatbelt, no stranger's bag, distance from animals

• identify animal and travel words from a listening text
• extract specific information (place, vehicle, animal, reason) onto a note grid
• acknowledge that active listening keeps a traveller safe and on the right bus
