General Comment:

The listening was properly for students’ level. The teacher were really kind and they tried to include all the students in the activities, but the instructions for each activity were explained improperly  Also, the lesson did not have enough or extra practices (during)  because of that the students started bothering   each other without paying attention. I really consider that my classmates can improve their lesson and also the way in which they explain and develop each of the stages.
