Yes I've been making call in English with some lecturers in my university almost everyday In the past few weeks.
But regarding listening my problem come from comprehending logical information from a speaker.
It was a useful lesson in listening. I suggest that your fast-writing notes match record play, and it is important to be aware of all points.
All the best.
Unfortunately, no. I haven't had a job where I can practice my English skills. But, hopefully, one day I will get the chance to work for a foreign company
I think yes when i was working in some project and had to call someone on teams software and he/she didn't answer I think I left a message for him/her
I never have the opportunity to make a call in English. I probably don't do it very well because I'm very shy. I have never left a voicemail either; actually, in my country it is not common.
Actually no, I have never made phone calls or voicemessages in English due to lacking of English skill. I scared of communicating to foreigners. I'm not good at listenning and speaking. Whenever I met a native speakers, I would run away and stood in corner and watched them.
We rarely use voice message in our country. But it will be useful when I arrive abroad. Thank you so much.
Not really, I have not had the opportunity to make phone calls or leave voicemails message in English yet. I need to improve my English in order to make it.
Finally, I am improving my English doing this kind of exercise. Listening always was a great problem for my learning.
Thanks a lot for this lesson, its very useful. I think that Marina speaks quickly.
