Introduction to Listening

When you do a listening exercise, it is very important to read well the instructions and the questions and multiple choice answers (if that is the kind of exercise you are going to do). Exercises can vary: they can have True - False statements, multiple choice (a, b, c...), open questions, filling the gaps... All of them can be adapted to different levels.

In this section, we are going to start from the begginer level (A1). In next entries we will move to higher levels, because as the title of this blog says, this is English For You All!

First of all, we are going to watch a video which explains quite clearly what we have to focus on when we do a listening exercise. It has been taken from YOUTUBE

After watching the video, maybe you want to try  the following exercises. They have been taken from The British Council - Learn English Teens. They are directed to begginers (A1), but if you consider that your level is higher, you can choose another exercise. There are lots!

Here you have the link:

You just have to click on the link and it will take you directly to the exercises. You will be able to do the exercises online or even download the worksheets and the audio.  

Do not worry if you don't understand all the words. It is not necessary, as it is mentioned in the video.
