_____________________________________________________________

Activity 1 – AUDIO – Days 1, 3 and 5

Listen to the audio file at Normal Speed. Listen at least 5 times. Repeat in a loud voice the words that you can recognise.

Then, listen at Slow Speed as many times as you want. Again, repeat in a loud voice the words that you can recognise. Click on the small "Speed" button just beside the "Play" button. The button displays "1x". Click the “Speed” button until you see "0.5x". 

Activity 2 - WORKSHEET – Days 1, 3 and 5

Download, print and complete the worksheet. Use the audio Pause button so that you can complete as many blank spaces as possible. Write exactly what you hear onto the worksheet. It’s OK to leave spaces so that you can come back to them. You will possibly only recognise a few of the words! That's OK :-) 

Activity 3 – QUIZ – Days 2, 4 and 6

Now do the Fill-in-the-gaps online quiz.

Activity 4 - WRITE – Days 2, 4 and 6

Now write the transcript of the clip on a blank sheet of paper while you listen to the audio. Leave spaces so that you can come back to them. You will probably need to re-play sections of the audio several times. Use the pause button. Listen at normal speed and slow speed.

Then download the full transcript.

Compare what you have written with the full transcript.

Listen to the normal speed version while you read the full transcript. You can recognise the words better now, can’t you? Well done!

Activity 5 – MASTER – Days 2, 4 and 6

Finally, use the Beat the Clock quiz to improve your time score. Aim to achieve quicker and quicker times AND BECOME A MASTER. This helps your brain to transfer your new Fast English from your short term memory to your long term memory. Be a Master with SpeakinGym!
