(You need Quick Time)
Part 1: Listen and watch as often as you need too.
Take the short comprehension test.
Part 2: Write a short summary of what the trailer was about. (3-5) sentences
Part 3: Rewrite your content, using scripting. (For an example of scripting go to http://esl.about.com/od/speakingadvanced/a/sscripting.htm)
Divide your sentences into thought groups.
