1. TYPES OF LISTENING
Competency: Judge the validity of the evidence listened to.

2. • Listening is very important in our
everyday living since it is when we
listen that we are able to give
feedback or respond accordingly.
• Listening is giving one's attention to a
sound.
• There are two types of listening:
active and passive.

3. • Active listening is when you fully
focus and understand the message
of what is being said or listened to.
• Involves responses, feedback, or
questions.
• Passive listening is when you
hear someone or something
without paying full attention.
Oftentimes effortless, and does
not give response.

• Practice active listening and try to figure out
words in the play by arranging the underlined
jumbled letters in the text.
• Write your answers in a separate paper.

house. My health is very poor – and I’ve been feeling so 2.NEORUVS all
day –
