Level: Upper-Intermediate/Advanced
Listening to as much English as possible is a great way to improve your
ability. At this site, you'll find some very interesting radio stories
about American people. The stories were originally broadcast on American
public radio stations.
There are 19 stories to listen to on this site. To see the complete
list, click on the archive link.
YOUR TURN:
Listen to one or more of these stories. If you have trouble
understanding the story, listen to the story again. As you listen, write
down vocabulary words that you don't understand. Use your dictionary to
find the meanings. After listening, write a short report on the story.
Answer these questions:
1) What were the main events in the story?
2) Who were the characters (people) in the story?
3) Where did the story take place?
4) What kind of story was it? (Funny, serious, sad, etc.)
5) Did you enjoy the story? Why or why not?
