Ces exercices compréhension orale s’appuient sur des scripts de documents audio. Pour vous entraîner dans de bonnes conditions, demandez à quelqu’un de vous lire les scripts à voix haute, ou lisez-les une seule fois rapidement en cachant ensuite le texte. Vous travaillerez l’anticipation, le repérage et le compte rendu.
