Instruction

Firstly, you have to watch the next video once (or twice). For this type of activity, you are going to have a list in chronological order of information that Jamie Foxx will explain during the video. Then, you will have to choose 5 true statements from 8. Mark the 5 with a "tick mark" and the rest (3) with the "cross mark". This is listening to specific events, so pay attention as the information is appearing.

Remember, you will have a list of the information that Jamie said in the video listed in chronological order and you will have to mark five statements with "tick mark" and three statements with the "cross mark" as information that Jamie did not mention in the video. In the end, you will have 5 statements with "tick mark" and 3 with "cross mark." In the part of "feedback", you will see the correct and incorrect statements.
