About listening practice on Games4English
Listening practice helps you get used to the sound, speed and rhythm of English. Games4English gathers listening resources behind a spin wheel, so you can open one without searching for it.
The adult learners page currently has 2 listening resources on its wheel, including listening practice from ESL Lounge. Listening activities for pupils have not been added yet and are coming soon.
Resources open on external websites. Listening is often practised together with other skills, so the footer links lead to the reading, speaking and writing pages too.
Good listening skills make real conversations easier. On this page you can practise understanding spoken English through free online activities that you can repeat as often as you like, at your own speed.
Why listening needs regular practice
Spoken English is fast and the sounds of words often change in a sentence. Short, frequent listening sessions help your ear get used to rhythm, pronunciation and common phrases.
How to practise
Listen once for the general idea, then again for details such as names, numbers and key words. Replay difficult parts and say them aloud. When you feel ready, combine listening with speaking activities so that you can copy what you hear, and check your progress with a quick English test.

Read the passage carefully. The letter keyboard appears after one minute.
Then taking his eyes off these, he looks to his own intellect and says: “The inanimate, lifeless cloud that resembles carded cotton has of course no knowledge of us; when it comes to our aid, it is not because it takes pity on us. It cannot appear and disappear without receiving orders. Rather it acts in accordance with the orders of a most powerful and compassionate commander. First it disappears without leaving a trace, then suddenly reappears in order to begin its work. By the command and power of a most active and exalted, a most magnificent and splendid, monarch, it fills and then empties the atmosphere. Inscribing the sky with wisdom and erasing the pattern, it makes of the sky a tablet of effacement and affirmation, a depiction of the gathering and the resurrection. By the contriving of a most generous and bountiful, a most munificent and solicitous sustainer, a ruler who regulates and disposes, it mounts the wind and taking with it treasuries of rain each as heavy as a mountain, hastens to the aid of the needy.
It is as if it were weeping over them in pity, with its tears causing the flowers to smile, tempering the heat of the sun, spraying gardens with water, and washing and cleansing the face of the earth.”

The clouds, suspended between the sky and the earth, water the garden of the world in the most wise and merciful fashion, furnish the inhabitants of the earth with the water of life, modify the natural heat of life, and hasten to bestow aid wherever it is needed. In addition to fulfilling these and other duties, the vast clouds, capable of filling the heavens sometimes hide themselves, with their parts retiring to rest so that not a trace can be seen, just like a well-disciplined army showing and hiding itself in accordance with sudden orders. Then, the very instant the command is given to pour down rain, the clouds gather in one hour, or rather in a few minutes; they fill the sky and await further orders from their commander.
