Directions for a listening exercise

Hi teachers,
If a student is listening to a CD and I want him/her to listen from a certain point of the listening till another one, which are the instructions for that?

Could they be these ones?
What should I write in the blanks?
Listen from ________1.25 till ______________ 3.57.
Play from ________1.25 till ______________ 3.57.

Thanks in advance.

  • Alternatively you could use "time" or "time point" or "time offset" in the blank positions.
  • Obviously you also need to specify the track number as well, assuming there is more than one track on the CD.

Hi KrisBlueNZ,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I guess I'll choose 'listen'. Listening requires playing, but playing does not require listening.
