Aliona`s listening
Hello, everybody!
I want to share with you some information I`ve got after my additional listening.
So, first I listened to the tape from VOA Special English Economics Report named "Getting Young Indians to Choose Tea Over Coffee". The title seemed interesting to me, as personally I can't imagine how would be the morning without my cup of coffee! So, I found, that coffee smells around the world and even in the the birthplace of tea, India. India is being quickly taken to tea and coffee culture, but they remain faithful to tradition. I knew, that Indians drink eight times more tea than coffee. By the way, tea is called as "chai" in many different countries, not only in Ukraine or Russia.
Secondly, I chose the video from ESL Video Quiz "Golden Retriever, the coolest dog in the world".
It was really great pleasure to watch it, because this breed of dog is just wonderful! You know, that

Hello, everyone!
Today I decided to practice listening with the help of ESLvideo.com. I chose two videos from the intermediate level for that. The first one is under the title 'Differences between American and British English'. Great difference between American and British expressions aree shown in that episode. The video helped me to catch the meaning of some English words in the USA and in the UK. Great difference, I would say!
After watching video I did some tests and got 100%.
The second video epiosode under the title 'Food Piramid' was found by me in High Intermediate. It was about ballanced diet. Some special advice of how to group food and what kink of food to choose were given in the episode. Generally speaking, I liked the video, but I my test results reached only 70%.
Thanks a lot.

Alina's last listening
Hello everyone!
To practise listening I chose three videos from Randall’s ESL Cyber Listening Lab. The first is called - "Car accident". My score is 80%, the second is "Telemarkering", the score is 80%, and the last is "A student credit card ", my score is 80%. As for me it is a very useful site, it helps me to improve my listening skills. I found out some interesting facts, repeated and learned some unknown words. These videos are clear and delicious for me.
Thanks a lot!!!!

Hello, everyone!
You see, to practise my listening today I chose an episode from Ted Video for Listening and an audio track from ESL-lab.
Searching site www.ted.com, I found there some show talks related to business. I decided to watch an episode under the title 'Amy Lockwood: Selling condoms in the Congo', because I thought it would be connected with some serious problems as AIDS. And I was almost right. The reporter was talking about HIP prevalence people in Congo and about marketing fails in selling condoms campaign.
In general, I found that site great, because all the videos were quite simple and understandable. The language is rather clear, so I could hear everything well.
As for the track from ESL-lab, I chose the track from Medium under the title 'Breakfast Resipes and a small surprise!'. It was a dialogue between father and daugter. They were arguing about the dish for breakfast. And the end of the story brings a really nice and unexpected suprise. Generally speaking, I understood the conversation very well and answered all the questions correctly.
So, as for me, I like listening to different kinds of extracts, because they allow me to practice English and to learn some interesting facts at the same time. That is some kind of great practice for me!
Thank you.

So, practising my listening first I`ve listened the tape connected with clothing styles from "Randall’s ESL Cyber Listening Lab".
After I`ve done some tests and got 80% score. I liked the unformal atmosphere in the dialog and it was quite clear for me so I had no difficulties with understanding the point.
The second tape I`ve listened was about carees from "Listen a Minute". After listening I`ve done the tasks given there. For me, I found some new words and expressions, also some new facts like that people can have more than 4 careers now. I even thought about getting another career in addition to mine in future.
So, I liked such way of practising English, becouse we can get something new every day just sitting at the computer and spending small time for it.
Thanks.
