Advanced English 4 – Part 1 (Listening) – Yard Sale

UPDATED version.

Topic: Yard sales in the United States.
This is a lesson in three parts.
Part 1: Listening practice.

Note: The transcript for the listening exercise is posted on EnglishCafe.com. Follow the link below to the complete EC Lesson.

Suggestion: Advanced students should challenge themselves during the True/ False exercise. After each question, pause and provide not only the answer of “true” or “false”, but also an explanation.

STUDENTS:
Take the follow-up listening quiz on EnglishCafe. I’ve designed a short quiz to test your understanding of prices and U.S. currency as well as your ability to calculate quickly in English.

    An extremely nice tool to improve your English pronunciation:
    Iphone App “Pronounce It L1″
    You can get it from Iphone, Ipod-touch, or Ipad.
    This allows you to record your own voice, listen to native speaker, grade your pronunciation and come back for repeats.

    @Snakif
    Within 24 hours of posting my video, a viewer spotted a typo at 10:37. I decided to correct it and upload again. :) The original exists, but it’s unlisted, so it’s not easy to find. This version is the one I’d like the public to use. Thank you for understanding.
