Reading While Listening

A form of reading that has been receiving a lot of attention from language teachers and researchers is reading while simultaneously listening. You can build not only your vocabulary but you can see how words are written and pronounced, increasing your listening comprehension, as well as your pronunciation and intonation.
I have come across this website and this one,where you can practise these skills. The first is full of simple stories with some exercises at the end if you want to check your understanding. The second has videos and listenings with subtitles. So stop making excuses and let's get to listen.

Oral Exam

One of the most difficul things when students start studying English is how to ask questions.
As you have been informed, the second part of the oral exam is a conversation with a partner where you may have to suggest something or complain or ask about and answer questions to a given subject.
In the document below you'll have some of the topics we have studied in class this year, with some questions that you might find useful.
