On this ESL New Year listening page there are several activities where you need to listening to a recording and then answer some questions. By doing the tasks on this page you can get valuable experience of listening to the New Year vocabulary being used and spoken by a native English speaker.
For all the tasks on this page you will need to listen to a recoding and then either answer some questions about the recording or write something. You can listen to all the recordings as often as you need so that you can answer each activity. If you need any help with the words that are used or how they sound when being spoken, you can go to the ESL New Year vocabulary page that has a word list and a recording of the words being spoken by a native English speaker.
There are the following four exercises on this page:
For this ESL New Year listening task you need to listen to the recording in this part and decide which option (A-D) in each question has the words listening in the same order as in the recording. There is a get score button after the questions that you can use to see the correct answers.
In the next ESL New Year listening exercise you need to again listen to the following recording and this time decide which of the options (A-D) has the word that matches the spoken definition. Again you can use the get score button to see the correct answers.
For this ESL New Year listening activity you need to listen to the recording of a passage being spoken and then answer the multiple choice questions about the passage. There is another get score button that will tell you how many you got correct.
At the end of this page there is a link that you can click that will show the full text of the passage so you can check your understanding.
For the last ESL New Year listening exercise you need to listen to the following recording of a passage being spoken and then write it down exactly as it is said. The recording has the passage being spoken twice: the first at a slow speaking speed and the second with pauses after every few words and the punctuation included.
There is another link at the end of this page that you can use to show the full text of the passage. You can then check to see how many of the word you could write down correctly.
