Facebook Madness! Advanced Listening Exercise
Facebook Madness! Advanced Listening Exercise Last week was a big news week for Facebook, as the company began trading publicly on the NASDAQ on Friday. Im not sure how it was in other countries, but here in the U.S. it was an important topic.A lot of people wondered, and still wonder, if Facebook is really worth $100 billion. Over the next few months well watch and see. In the meantime, I know a lot of our students are interested in the tech world, and especially the startup world that Facebook helped to create in many ways, so Ive made a listening exercise with a video about the company going public.The video is a little difficult, but its short, so you can watch it a few times.

(note: Shes wrong. There are about 2.45 billion.)What was Facebooks warning about these numbers?What did Zuckerberg say in his 2,000 word letter?Why would this bother investors?
