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: "I can't believe it took you so long to ask me out on a date." B: "I always thought you liked Mark, so I didn't think I had a chance." A: "I had this thing about him, but it's over. So, what do you like to do on your free time?" B: "I like sports, watching movies, reading books. Things like that." A: "What type of movies do you like?" B: "I like drama and comedy." A: "Me too. Mostly drama though. Have you seen Pay it forward?" B: "Yeah. I loved that movie." A: "It's one of my favorites. I cried so much at the end." B: "I thought the idea of paying it forward was awesome." A: "What was your favorite comedy?" B: "Do you remember the Three Amigos?" A: "Vaguely. I was pretty little when that came out." B: "I don't remember it much back then, but I saw it again the other day and it cracked me up." A: "Maybe I need to see that movie again." B: "I think it is a classic. So many funny scenes." A: "I really liked the Mask with Jim Carrey." B: "He is hilarious. I love that guy." A: "I like most of his movies. He is such a character." B: "What else do you like to do?" A: "Well, I like to exercise." B: "Where do you exercise?" A: "I go to a health club by my house. But on a nice day, I like to jog around the lake." B: "That's good. I like to stay in shape too. But I do that by playing a lot of sports. Do you play any sports?" A: "I played a little bit in high school, but nothing really these days." B: "Have you tried golf?" A: "Don't start with that. My dad always nagged at me to play, but I never got into it." B: "What do you usually do with your friends?" A: "We go out shopping a lot." B: "Where do you usually go?" A: "Usually downtown. It's more fun in the city than in the mall. Plus, there are too many high school students at the mall." B: "I know some girls like bags, and some like shoes, what do you like to shop for the most?" A: "I can never have too many pairs of shoes. I have like 30 pairs already, but I am always shopping for more." B: "Oh. The foods here." A: "Great. I'm so hungry." B: "After dinner, do you want to catch a movie?" A: "Sure. I'm always up for a good movie."
