IELTS & TOEFL Listening Practice: Academic Vocabulary

Listening is a language skill that is difficult to master. Being exposed to authentic audios helps a great deal to master listening comprehension.

Superb video-lesson Emma.

Thanks

Regino

Very usefull lesson I Think. Thank you Emma. You are the best teacher I have ever met in the internet..

Yes,yes!!

emrahbulduk

Thank you very much Emma!!I do love lessons like this, that make me practice!
Just one thing: in the resources area, where I downloaded the copy I used for this activity, there´s the word enroll, which isn´t on the board and Emma looked for at the beginning of the second reading. Be careful students ;)

Hi, dear Emma.
I appreciate your efforts and I’ve learned so much from you and other great tutors on this site.
I’ve watched about 450 videos of this site from a few month ago till now, but I expected more improvement from myself to understand movies.
All I’m saying is I wish you and other great teachers worked more in real life English, Not grammar or IELTS.
Personally, I don’t believe in grammar unless you are great in speaking and listening.
As a matter of fact, native English speaking kids can speak and understand more than all of us!
Even an uneducated English person can do that.
If you want to speak English fluently you should not begin with any grammar lesson cuz it makes you think when you wanna say a sentence and it’s against speaking fluency !
The words should come out easily without any thinking like your native language.
I hope I was clear enough.
Last but not least I really hope you teach us more speaking and listening material instead of grammar.
Thanks for your efforts.
I really appreciate what all of you doing here.
I like you all and wish you the best.
Thanks.

Mohsen Barati

Yes,I agree with you.you are totally right.

-In order to finish the project on time, I had to “pull” an all-nighter.
-A student working towards his/her bachelor’s degree is called an undergrad student.
both of them are what I made mistake ;p
so, In order, not to make mistake again. I decided to type them here. :)

HI! What mean these expressions- ace the test , pull an all-nighter, drop a course and hit the books? Can someone explain to me?

Aytan

I am not sure about the phrase “ace the test” as well. But I think it means “to do very well in the test or exam” > please go to Cambridge dictionary online and search the word “ace”.

Example> I was up all the night studying, but it was worth it. I aced my chemistry final. < it means he did his chemistry final really well.

pull an all-nighter means study all night especially before the test day.

drop a course – I think it means – stop studying a class while his semester or term. (not sure)

hit a book – read a book.

Hope it will be helpful.

Thank you.

Jhondum

got it

This was a great lesson. But shouldn’t question # 7 read “You had better hit the books” instead of “you better hit the books?”
