Information Gathering for Everyday Life Usage
Most Essential Learning Competencies:
Use information from news reports, speeches, informative talks, panel discussions, etc. in everyday conversations and
exchanges EN10LC-Ia-11.1
Discussion
istening is a significant skill you should have. How well you listen has a major influence
on study effectiveness, and on the quality of your relationships with others. For
example, we listen to obtain information, to understand, for enjoyment and to learn.
L
Evidently, listening is a skill that we can all benefit from improving. By becoming a
better listener, you can develop your efficiency, as well as your ability to influence, convince
and negotiate. In addition, you'll avoid conflict and misinterpretations. Gonzalez (2017)
defined informational listening as listening with the goal of learning, understanding, and
grasping information. It is considered a passive form of listening because the listener is not
judging, criticizing, or evaluating the message but is simply listening to understand it.
Tay (2020) identifies some of the effective informational listening approaches which are:
1. Info listening. Make sure you receive the same thoughts which speakers are trying to convey.
2. Don't judge or argue prematurely. Try to understand the speaker's ideas before judging them.
3. Look for key ideas. Listen carefully to the speaker to find out the main ideas that he or she is trying to convey.
4. Paraphrase. Restate in your own words the message of the speaker. Repeating the speaker’s words as he or
she says them will strengthen his or her message and help you to stay attentive.
Gonzalez (2020) also added that informational listening helps us learn, become keener, and become
better at what we do in life. Consequently, it is clear that improving skills that develop our informational listening
abilities is advantageous to our lives. Other skills that help with informational listening are:
1. Knowledge of Vocabulary. The more words we know, the more we can understand. Therefore, increasing
mastery of vocabulary through techniques like learning a new word a day or reading books can contribute
in being a good informational listener.
2. Concentration. We must know that in order to concentrate, we need to be motivated to focus, stay disciplined
in the face of distractions, actively and mentally say no to distractions, and accept responsibility in getting
the task at hand accomplished. Informational listening requires immense concentration.
3. Memory. With good memory, we can recall experiences and information from our lives to help make sense of
information in informational listening.
4. Refraining from Judgment. This skill requires an open mind. If we begin judging and jumping to conclusions
when attempting to properly listen and retain information, our mind will wander and possibly miss valuable
pieces of information.
5. Organization. This means identifying key concepts from auditory information and mentally organizing them
into an outline so that you can better understand and remember material.
6. Asking Questions. If listening to a panel discussion, asking mental questions to further grasp the information
as the speakers are talking can mean that the listener is truly comprehending the information that is being
said.
7. Taking Notes. This is a common skill that enhances informational listening in school. One valuable tip in taking
notes is to only write down key concepts and terms instead of trying to write down everything that is being
said.

Informational listening is for understanding.
The goal of informational listening is to evaluate or scrutinize what is being said
Informational listening focuses on the ability to understand a speaker's message.
Informational listening is considered a passive form of listening because the listener is not judging, criticizing,
or
evaluating the message.
Informational listening is similar with appreciative listening or listening for enjoyment.
We usually engage in informational listening so that we may encourage others to trust and like us.
Informational listening requires restating the speaker’s words to strengthen his or her message and help you
to stay focused.
Informational listening leads to assumptions and misunderstandings.
Increasing mastery of vocabulary through techniques like learning a new word a day or reading books can
contribute in being a good informational listener.
Effective informational listening involves receiving the same ideas which speakers are trying to convey.

Emma Watson Speech: Gender Equality
“I am reaching out to you because I need your help. We want to end gender 1.) __________ —and to do this we need
everyone to be involved.
This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN: we want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be 2.)
__________ for change. And we don’t just want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible.
I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about 3.) __________ the more I have realized that fighting for
women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man- 4.) _________. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that
this has to stop.
For the record, feminism by definition is: “The belief that men and women should have 5.) _________ rights and opportunities.
It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.”
I started questioning 6.) __________-based assumptions when at eight I was confused at being called “bossy,” because I
wanted to direct the plays we would put on for our parents—but the boys were not.
When at 14 I started being sexualized by certain elements of the media.
When at 15 my girlfriends started dropping out of their sports teams because they didn’t want to appear “muscly.”
When at 18 my male friends were unable to express their feelings.
I decided that I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has
become an 7.) __________ word.
Apparently, I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men
and, unattractive even.
Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain and think it is right that as a woman I am paid the
same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right
that women be 8.) __________ on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that 9.)
__________ I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all
women can expect to receive these rights.
2
No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality. These rights I consider to be 10.) __________
rights but I am one of the lucky ones.
My life is a sheer privilege because my parents didn’t love me less because I was born a daughter. My school did not
11.) __________ me because I was a girl. My mentors didn’t assume I would go less far because I might give birth to a child
one day. These influencers were the gender equality ambassadors that made me who I am today. They may not know it, but
they are the 12.) __________ feminists who are changing the world today. And we need more of those.
And if you still hate the word—it is not the word that is important but the idea and the ambition behind it. Because not all
women have been afforded the same rights that I have. In fact, statistically, very few have been.
In 1997, Hilary Clinton made a famous speech in Beijing about women’s rights. Sadly, many of the things she wanted to
change are still 13.) __________ today.
But what stood out for me the most was that only 30 per cent of her audience were male. How can we affect change in the
world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?
Men—I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal 14.) ___________.Gender equality is your issue too.
Because to date, I’ve seen my father’s role as a parent being valued less by society despite my needing his presence as a child
as much as my mother’s.
I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness unable to ask for help for fear it
would make them look less “15.) __________”—in fact in the UK suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20-49 years of
age; eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease. I’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted
sense of what constitutes male success. Men don’t have the benefits of equality either.
We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender 16.) __________ but I can see that that they are and that when
they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence.
If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted women won’t feel compelled to be 17.) __________. If men don’t
have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.
Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong… It is time that we all
perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals.
If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by who we are—we can all be free.
be freer and this is what HeForShe is about. It’s about freedom.
I want men to take up this mantle. So, their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice but also so that their sons
have permission to be vulnerable and human too—reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned and in doing so be a
more true and complete version of themselves.
You might be thinking who is this Harry Potter girl? And what is she doing up on stage at the UN. It’s a good question and
trust me, I have been asking myself the same thing. I don’t know if I am qualified to be here. All I know is that I care about
this problem. And I want to make it better.
And having seen what I’ve seen—and given the chance—I feel it is my duty to say something. English Statesman Edmund Burke
said: “All that is needed for the forces of evil to 18.) __________ is for enough good men and women to do nothing.”
In my nervousness for this speech and in my moments of doubt I’ve told myself firmly—if not me, who? If not now, when? If
you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you. I hope those words might be helpful.
Because the reality is that if we do nothing it will take 75 years, or for me to be nearly a hundred before women can expect to
be paid the same as men for the same work. 15.5 million girls will be married in the next 16 years as children. And at current
rates it won’t be until 2086 before all rural African girls will be able to receive a 19.) __________ education.
If you believe in equality, you might be one of those inadvertent feminists I spoke of earlier.
And for this I 20.) __________ you.
We are struggling for a uniting word but the good news is we have a uniting movement. It is called HeForShe. I am inviting
you to step forward, to be seen to speak up, to be the “he” for “she”. And to ask yourself if not me, who? If not now,
when?
Thank you.
