Intermediate Listening Practice

Randall's ESL Cyber Listening
That is a link to go to website which provide some listening exercises for us.
I heard some recorders :

Answering machine = easy to be understand it. My score is 80%. It means I could catch what speaker said even though I need three times repetition.

Student’s credit card = a little bit hard to understand because the speakers always use implied meanings in conversation. I got 40% in the exercise.

A university degree = It’s easier than the medium because I got 100% my answer is true. Because I could understand the topic, it’s totally different than the medium one. The expression also the intonation of the speakers were really great, I like it. So, it’s easy for me.

I also watch and listen to the video : http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=www.esl-lab.com 

 

1.      Animal care in public = Randall wants everyone to take their animals to a park with three things :

-     Take a wish, make sure you can control your animals because sometimes soldiers scare the animals.

-          Take a plastic bag because if the animals poop you should pick it back.

-          Make sure you know the temper of the animals.

It’s quite easy but some words are not familiar for me.

2.      Drivers with disabilities = The disabilities can walk in 100 meters but they should make sure that they are in health condition, and require wheel chair in their around. If the normal (not in disabilities) park illegally in that spot’s disabilities, they should pay 125 dollars, when the normal just 15 dollars.

My opinion is this is hard one because many words those I couldn’t know.

3.      A unique educational experiences = In Junior High School or Senior High School there is a parenthood class which the students are assigned an electric baby, it looks like a regular doll. And it will cry every three hours. They should carry it at home. The purposes are challenges to t age (I don’t know how to spell it) pregnancy and the responsibility being the parents.

I think this is an interested topic, but I couldn’t understand some words. 

 Last, I heard a voice from : http://www.gistguide.com/guide/listenings/listenings.php

VOA Special English Half Report

The topic is about hard diseases. The facts say that the victims more women than the men. In a year there are 500 women killed, like heart attack. The heart experts say that high cholesterol, high blood pressure, being overweight, smoking are the cause of hard diseases.

Honestly I don’t like so much with the topic because it’s hard to understand for me. But in fact this is very useful to inform everybody that women usually can get hard disease than the men. All the people should aware with this.
