Listening


 * On this page you will find links and tips related to the listening paper plus listening material which is related to our course .**

**LINKS** ~ Listening, by the way, does not have just to be work - it can be pleasurable too, e.g. when listening to ** music **. Check out this link: http://www.songfacts.com/. ~ http://www.esoluk.co.uk/index.php on this website, you will find lots of short video and audio clips. Many of them also have transcripts of the texts so you can read and learn some vocabulary too. If you do not want to actually "work" with these clips, why not just listen to/watch them - just to give yourself some listening practice.

**POLITICAL VIEWING (if you are interested)** ~ **[]** ...C-Span's **//video library//** has a wide range of political vdeos, including up-to-date ones on the current election. Or why not try your luck: type in a **key word** of a **topic that interests you** and see if there is something there for you! ~ click on the button " **Series** " for a range of other topics such as "**Book TV**" or discussions that have taken place in **British Parliament** (Prime Minister 's Questions).
 * 1) C-Span ** (**C**able-**S**atellite **P**ublic **A**ffairs **N**etwork) which only reports on **lawmaking**, the **government** and matters related to the **American constitution**: ** [] ** . Here you will find videos, radio channels and other information which you can listen to. Many of these recordings also have a **transcript** so you can read and watch.
 * 2) Fox News ** video website: []. This news channel may have a more **conservative** position than C-Span. Includes **transcripts** (useful because the recordings are fast! Print out the transcripts and read them while watching and listening to the videos)
 * 3) BBC Video News ** website with a wide range of relatively short video clips. No scripts provided but there are articles about the topics ... if you want to find out more: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/
