Activity 1
Listening is intentional, you are attentively listening so you’ll understand what
you are hearing. You are focusing on what a person is saying.
Hearing is effortlessly absorbing the sounds around you. Involuntary and not
intentional. It’s just what the ears are made for.
Activity 2
A. Classroom discussion – teacher discussed a topic in class
Receiving - and I received the message by listening
Interpreting – I then interpret as I try to understand what the teacher is saying
Recalling – I then repeat it in my head to see if I got all the details
Evaluating – When I fully understand the topic
Responding- I respond with a nod, out of respect because the teacher isn’t done
teaching. But when the teacher asks questions, I raise my hand and answer if I
understand the lesson.
B. Listening to various music- I play a new song from YouTube music.
Receiving- I then listen to the lyrics and the instrumentals and vocals.
Interpreting- I then interpret what the lyrics meant and how good the music is.
Recalling- I then repeat in my mind if I memorized it.
Evaluating- thinking I know the song by now.
Responding- in response I sing along to the song I was listening to.
C. Attending a seminar- when attending a seminar there is always a speaker who
talks about a certain topic on what the seminar is all about.
Receiving- to be honest, I don’t really listen much at seminars, I try but there’s
always a distraction.
Interpreting- I hear a lot of words but I don’t understand all of them.
Recalling- I then recall it in my mind if there’s a message I remember.
Evaluating- When listening to a seminar I don’t remember everything that has
been said.
Responding- as a response a just nod my head and stay quiet.
D. Giving pieces of advice to a friend – usually my friends open up to me about
certain things about their lives.
Receiving- I listen to what they are saying without interrupting them.
Interpreting- I then quietly try to understand a keep up with them.
Recalling- then quietly recall it.
Evaluation- I then think of the words for what I will say to them.
Responding- as a response, I calmly say what I think about the things they
shared.

I, myself think that I am a people-oriented listener. Because as I’ve mentioned
usually my friends always open up to me. Even though I am not very vocal about myself
I am a very good listener. I often give advice to them, and I don’t care if they agree with
me. I just want to give my piece of mind about that certain topic. It’s up to them. And for
me, the style of listening I like least is the time-oriented listener. Because if you wanted
to say something and fully tell the story they’ll be like “Faster, I have something to do” I
lost interest in telling them the story, I think it’s a bit disrespectful.

Activity 6
- I sometimes interrupt the person speaking when I’m angry
- Pretend to listen out of respect even though I am not interested
- When someone is telling the same story again, I don’t interrupt the and continue
to listen.
- I say my thoughts about that topic even though it is sometimes offensive/
unfiltered mouth. (Only to my close friends or family)
- For me listening is really important, even though you are not interested.
It’s not a reason for you to disrespect someone, they might feel embarrassed and
not open up to you again. Saying your thoughts is also important but, you should
think and carefully construct what you are saying. Listening is really important to
make a good conversation.
Activity 7
1. My listening styles are mostly people-oriented, action-oriented, and content-
oriented listeners, but I am never a time-oriented listener. People-oriented listening
can be applied when a friend of mine tells me a story. Action-oriented listener when
my parents give me chores mostly when cooking, and giving me instructions. Lastly,
content-oriented listener when I heard something that makes me interested, I
research more about that topic to know more about it.
2. It becomes beneficial to me because I learn a lot of things, I gain friends and then
people trust me in return. I don’t think they have disadvantages right at this moment.
3. I attentively listen to what they are saying, repeating the main information, and
when you didn’t understand it the first time, don’t be shy to ask about it again.
4.
A. In academics, listening can be very useful because it would help you to
understand the lessons and successfully answer all of the questions related to
the topics.
B. As a professional. I, who dreams to be a doctor, listening is important because if
a patient says a symptom they felt and you didn’t understand it, you might get the
diagnosis wrong, and in extent things might get worse.
C. In my personal life, listening is useful because it is important to properly
communicate with others, and communicating is important in our social lives.
D. In socializing listening is important because listening is one of the first steps in
making new friends. And when you have friends, they will open up to you and it’s
important to listen.
5. No, because if you are that type of a person it’s easy and it comes naturally you
don’t have to pretend if you really care. But not all people are the same, a lot might
actually consider it difficult because we have our differences.
