Listen for Main Ideas and Details
Main ideas are the key points of a presentation or a talk. They are supported by details.
When you listen, pay close attention to the statement that is emphasised by the speaker (usually at the beginning and end of the talk). This is often the main idea.
Listen carefully for key words, phrases and ideas that are repeated. These will confirm the main idea.
Now listen for specific information that supports the main ideas, e.g. examples, causes, reasons, facts and descriptions. These are the details.
