Today in class we went to websites that allow you to listen to English sentences or news items. On one website, a speaker reads an English sentence and repeats it. Try to write down what you hear as the speaker repeats the sentence. When the written sentence appears on the video, check to see if you wrote the sentence correctly.
Listening Practice--Common Daily Expressions
Here is a link to a video where you can see and listen to 1000 common English phrases. You can practice saying the phrases yourself (pause the video if you need more time to practice saying a phrase).
Listening Practice--1000 Common English Phrases
My Suggestions: Once each day, visit the Daily Page for ESL Students at manythings.org. This page has links to a daily quiz, daily listening and pronunciation practices, and dictionaries in other languages.

On the Daily Page, you will find a link for listening to daily Voice of America (VOA) newscast items. The text of each newscast is printed so that you can read along as you listen. You can click on any word and immediately see its definition. If you go to the top of the news page and click on Level One, the person reading the news speaks more slowly than in Level Two or Three. You can also click on the link below to go directly to the VOA website:

Another link on the Daily Page takes you to the "Listen and Repeat Machine." Click on the link below, then click on the "play" button. A voice reads English sentences several times. It pauses in between so that you can repeat the sentence yourself. Click on the number button to change the number of times you hear the sentence from 0 to 4. Slide the control buttons to control the volume or to make the pauses in between readings longer, to give you more time to repeat the sentence yourself.
