oCoder Education - English listening Audios are suitable for learners with different levels of English. Here are some ways to make them easier (if you have a lower level of English) or more difficult (if you have a higher level of English).
You can choose one or two of these suggestions – you don't have to follow all of them!
Making it easier
Read all the exercises before you listen to the audio.
Look up the words in the exercises that you don't know or don't understand in a dictionary.
Play the audio as many times as you need.
Play each part of the audio separately.
Answer all questions in the exercise.
Read the transcript after you have listened to the audio.
Making it harder
Listen to the audio before you read the exercises.
Only play the audio once before answering the questions.
Play the whole audio without a break.
Don't read the transcript.
Now, listen to the audio and do the exercises on the following tabs.
If you do not complete all the question, you can play the audio again.
After that, read the dialog to make sure that you understand all word in the audio.

A: "Hey Cindy. I heard you are seeing someone." B: "Yeah. His name is John. I started dating him a week ago." A: "That's so exciting. Tell me all about him. Is he good looking?" B: "I think he's cute, but not drop deadgorgeous." A: "How did you meet him?" B: "I go to this coffee shop a lot and this guy is always there. We started talking a couple of times, and he finally asked me out." A: "That's so cool. What does he do for a living?" B: "He works in the finance department in a manufacturing company." A: "Do you know if he makes a lot of money?" B: "I don't know for sure, but he drives a nice car and I heard he has a house." A: "How is his personality?" B: "He's very smart and a great person to talk to. In the beginning, we talked for about 30 minutes a day in the coffee shop before he asked me out. Besides that, he's very sweet and romantic." A: "How old is he?" B: "That's the problem. He is 2 years younger than me. What do you think about that?" A: "What's the big deal? I don't see anything wrong with that. If you were 23, then I might be worried he was immature, but you're almost 30 now. 2 years is no big deal." B: "Yeah. That's what I think." A: "When do I get to meet him?" B: "How about a double date. The four of us can go out to dinner and a drink or something." A: "That sounds great. How about next Saturday?" B: "I think Saturday will be good. Let's double check with the guys and get back to each other." A: "Great. I'll call you later then." B: "Ok. Talk to you later."
