When you are finished copying and pasting all the sentences in Angel, check your work and then submit the exercise. The computer will give you a score.

Important Note: When the podcast opens, you will start to hear the exercise. Notice that there is a progress bar and there are control buttons so that you can stop or pause the podcast. You can click the pause button to listen to a part that you want to hear again or to give you time to type your answers. You will need to go to the task bar at the bottom of your screen to change between your word document and the document with the podcast controls. In the beginning, this will take practice to get used to, but you can do it! Remember to keep saving your word document file and Happy listening!
