Purposes for Listening

You should listen to presentations and book readings to gain knowledge, learn more on that particular subject, etc.

Interviews
Okay, so you go to an interview of your favorite author and you hear reporters asking questions. You should listen to the questions and then then responses of the author. This knowledge may help you in the future for a report or presentation about the author.

Following Directions
You can learn a lot from just following directions. Pretend for a moment that you are a student at an art school. If you listen and follow directions closely, you can find out how to make a work of art worthy of a frame! The same is true for almost anything in life- follow directions and you will succeed.

Pursuing a Personal Interest
If you listen closely then you may learn a great skill or just a bit of useless knowlage that's fun to know that you have. Or maybe soon you may heard or read something of great personal intrest and become an expert in that subject, maybe to get famous! Remember it was because you listened carefully to a book reading or presentation!
