Listening ExerciseTranscript

Matt: Emma, I have a new video game called Space Adventure.
Emma: Where did you find out about it, Matt?
Matt: I heard some of my friends talking about it at school so I came home and download it from a game’s website.
Emma: Oh! It’s quite difficult to play, but I love new games and I’ve downloaded it too. Who are you going to play with?
Matt: Well, my brother is too busy as he has exams and my cousin Amy won’t be coming round until next weekend, so I’ll play with my dad when he comes home from work.
Emma: Last weekend, I played it with my sister for an hour and a half. We didn’t play on Sunday as we went for a long walk for 2 hours. Which part do you like best?
Matt: The journey to the moon is really good, but the bit I enjoy most is when you take a ride on a moon buggy. That’s really cool. The part about farming for food is my least favourite.

The more words you encounter and understand, the broader your day-to-day vocabulary will become. Our word games and puzzles are an excellent way to help to reinforce spellings in your mind.

Especially helpful are exercises that are focussed on a theme or topic as these provide word retention practise so you can be confident to read, write, speak and listen successfully.
