Another site to help you practice your listening is Breaking News English. It has news stories from around
the world. Each story has and easier and harder version. You can choose
which is best for you. When you click on Listening, an MP3 file will
play on your computer. Besides the mp3, this site also has the full text of the news article.
You can listen and read at the same time.
Or, you can read first and then listen. Or, listen and then read. There
are also some questions and activities, including discussion and quizzes (with answers!) that you can print to help you
learn more about the topic and to help you learn the vocabulary.
And because the sound files are mp3, you can listen to them on your iPod too (more about that next time).
Listening and reading are great
ways to improve your vocabulary! So, Listen up!
