This website contains some real documents about different topics to practise listening skills. The exercises are classified into 3 levels (easy, medium and difficult) so that the teacher can choose those which suit the students best, and they are also classified according to different kind of listening (shorter, longer,...).

• Pre-listening exercices - questions to introduce and raise the interest in the topic.
• Listening exercices
• Post-listening exercises - questions to open a debate.

Choose one or other option, depending on which program you have installed in your computer.

3. There are three steps in each exercise:

• In the first place, listen and do the multiple choice comprehension exercise. At the end, you get a score and the correct answers.
• The next step is to listen to the conversation again as you read the Quiz Script.
• Finally, do the Text Completion Quiz while you listen once more. You will also be given a score.
