Play Audio Puzzles

Developing your ability to hear and understand a range of English accents is a key skill in developing your ability to communicate.


Audio Puzzler is a great website to help you listen to and understand English. It has a range of texts and you listen to parts of each text, write what you hear and then arrange the parts of the text in the correct order.

Task:

• Go to: http://www.audiopuzzler.com/ and check the rules so you know how to play.

• Start the game and then pick a text 'Fight Club - 8 Rules' is a good one to start on as it isn't too long.

• Click the bubbles and type in the text as you hear it. Then arrange the text in the correct order.

• You have to play against time and you get a score. Try to complete the text at least 3 times and improve your score.

I hope that you enjoy this activity and it helps with your listening.
