The Big Bang Theory Part 6

This fill-in-the-blank listening activity goes along with this clip from Friends Season 10 Episode 06 "The One With Ross' Grant": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4F0UnnHFzM



NOTE: There is a weird interlude in this video from 1:30-2:30; be prepared to skip past it.



First, I like to have my students listen and watch the entire clip without the worksheet. The second time through, I give them the script handout to read along with as they listen, pausing at the blanks to see if they have an idea of what word or phrase is missing. If it seems especially difficult, I usually provide a word bank on the board. After, I ask if they have any questions about vocabulary or expressions.



The answers are provided in order on the fourth page of the document.
