Listen and Write

Hi everyone,

I'd like to show you another tool that will help with your listening skills. It's called Listen and Write and you can find it here. It is a great tool which has articles from the news and you can listen to these articles as many times as you want while you write and the tool corrects you. You do not have to download anything but you have to register on the site. It is definitely worth exploring. I hope to do one of these listenings in class sometime soon but meanwhile you can explore it yourselves. Good luck!
