I will give you listening section. Listening Section will be divided into three section, they are pre listening, whilst listening and post listening section. Pre listening section is such warming up; it contains material which delivers you into main activity or listening test. Whilst listening section is listening test itself. Post listening section contains examination which you can do as homework.

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 7 oz. 70% cacao chocolate, finely chopped 
• ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons water

Equipment:

• Step 2: Chop chocolate

Chop the chocolate into fine pieces and set it aside.

• Step 3: Dissolve sugar

Stir together 1/2 cup sugar with water in a pot until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and turns to a deep caramel-colored syrup.
Tip
Wash off any sugar crystals on the side of the pot by swirling the liquid around in the pot.

• Step 4: Whisk in cream

Whisk the warm cream mixture into the syrup over low heat until the liquid is smooth and any sugar crystals have dissolved.

• Step 5: Beat yolks

Beat the egg yolks with the salt and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed. Continue beating the egg mixture until it increases three-fold in volume and thickens, about six to eight minutes with a hand mixer.

Tip
Start the mixer on low speed and work up to avoid splattering the counter top and your shirt with eggs.

• Step 6: Mix eggs and syrup
  

Add the hot syrup mixture to the yolks in a slow stream, whisking, then transfer the custard to a saucepan.

• Step 7: Cook the cream
  

Cook the creamy mixture over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard is slightly thickened.

Tip
Do not let the cream mixture boil, it may ruin the ice cream.

• Step 8: Add chocolate
  

Force the warm custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl with the chopped chocolate and let it stand one minute. Then, whisk the mixture until it is smooth.

• Step 9: Let cool
  

Cool the custard to room temperature, stirring occasionally, for about 35 minutes.

• Step 10: Freeze custard

Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker, and put it in the freezer in a covered container to harden for at least 1 hour. Then, scoop, serve, and enjoy!
