I hope you're all enjoying your Christmas holidays. But keep in mind you should also study for module 6 test: Remember: Thursday 9th January at 17:00, main hall, IES Jabalcuz.
The purpose of this post is to offer a series of links to sites that you may find useful to prepare the oral comprehension test. So, here we go...

This web includes a large listening comprehension test section. Try the intermediate level link where you'll find 60 different recordings together with online comprehension activities for each of them.

Elllo offers an incredibly huge amount of listening practice. Recordings can be sought according to topic, level or country or you can try the daily suggestions shown on the site homepage. Full transcripts and vocabulary help sections are included.

The British Council
Ths site also offers some listening practice at three different levels (A1, A2 and B1) as well as some tips to succeed in your exams.

See you all after Christmas.
