A practical way to use this guide

01

Listen for the framework

Identify who is speaking, why they are speaking, and how the talk or conversation develops.

02

Take selective notes

Capture main ideas, shifts, examples, and decisions instead of trying to write every word.

03

Practice one-play focus

Use recordings once during timed work, then review with the transcript after answering.
