One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.
1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”
2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”
3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”

A.the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language. |
B.how to guess what one is going to talk about. |
C.Some examples of right guessing. |

B.…so I went to bed very late.” |
C.…so I felt unhappy.” |
D.…so I got up very early.” |

B.“I think you’d better have something to drink.” |
C.“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.” |
