"SPEAK, SO THAT I MAY SEE YOU" said Socrates.
This phrase means that when a person speaks and others listen carefully, they can understand the real feelings or thinkings.
LISTENING is an interesting skill to develop the Teaching - Learning process through receiving and responding to spoken. In School studies the teacher can get an effective communication improving listening tasks through songs, dialogues, videos and others. The present work is a task to help the students to practice better.

ACTIVITY 2. LISTEN TO THE SONG AND UNDERLINE THE VERBS.
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon
light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools said I, You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said:
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
ACTIVITY 3
LISTEN TO THE STORY OF THE UGLY DUCKLING.
It is a beautiful summer day. The sun shines warmly on an old house near a river.
Behind the house a mother duck is sitting on ten eggs. "Tchick." One by one all the
eggs break open.
All except one. This one is the biggest egg of all.
Mother duck sits and sits on the big egg. At last it breaks open, "Tchick, tchick!"
Out jumps the last baby duck. It looks big and strong. It is grey and ugly.
The next day mother duck takes all her little ducks to the river. She jumps into it.
All her baby ducks jump in. The big ugly duckling jumps in too.
They all swim and play together. The ugly duckling swims better than all the other
ducklings.
- Quack, quack! Come with me to the farm yard! - says mother duck to her baby ducks
and they all follow her there.
The farm yard is very noisy. The poor duckling is so unhappy there. The hens peck
him, the rooster flies at him, the ducks bite him, the farmer kicks him.
At last one day he runs away. He comes to a river. He sees many beautiful big birds
swimming there. Their feathers are so white, their necks so long, their wings so
pretty. The little duckling looks and looks at them. He wants to be with them. He
wants to stay and watch them. He knows they are swans. Oh, how he wants to be beautiful
like them.
Now it is winter. Everything is white with snow. The river is covered with ice. The ugly
duckling is very cold and unhappy.
Spring comes once again. The sun shines warmly. Everything is fresh and green.
One morning the ugly duckling sees the beautiful swans again. He knows them. He wants so
much to swim with them in the river. But he is afraid of them. He wants to die. So he runs
into the river. He looks into the water. There in the water he sees a beautiful swan. It is
he! He is no more an ugly duckling. He is a beautiful white swan.

Linguistic Intelligence is a part of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory that deals with an individual's ability to understand both spoken and written language,
as well as their ability to speak and write themselves. In a practical
sense, linguistic intelligence is the extent to which an individual can
use language, both written and verbal, to achieve goals.[1] In addition to this, high linguistic intelligence has been linked to improved problem solving, as well as to increased abstract reasoning.[2]
In many cases, only the verbal aspects are taken into consideration.
This is usually referred to as verbal intelligence or verbal fluency,
and is commonly a reflection of an individual's overall linguistic
intelligence.
