Improve your listening skills


Hi! class

I really enjoy reading your comments and some of you are very creative and thoughtful. I'm impressed. However, there are some who have 'external help' when writing your comments. Please don't do that. I want you to practice your English. It's ok to make mistakes. It will get better, trust me na ka.

Today a friend of mine has suggested a wonderful website: www. esl-lab.com.

This website contains lots of listening practice ranging from easy to difficult. It suits everyone! So, I would like you to visit this website and listen to "Shopping for the day". Then tell me what you think. What do you feel after listening to this conversation? What are you going to do for your father this coming Father's day?

If you are interested, you can frequently visit this website and listen more and more. Your listening skills will definitely improve!

Have fun na ka:)

After listening ,I feel that the girl in this conversation was very intend to buy some gift for her dad even helped her mom to do household work for earn the money.However,the money that she've got couldn't buy the expensive one but finally she could buy a tie with a low price.



According to this conversation, I think that the gift's price was not important than intention of a girl who wants to give a present for her dad.



In Father's Day,I have a gift for my dad as well.It's not quite expensive but I really intend to give him and wish that he will like it.

After listening to this conversation I think that the girl is very grateful to her father. Because she try to earn gradually money by helping her mother doing housework and bring this to buy a special gift for her father.

In my opinion, the valuable gift needn’t to be expensive but it should be from your heart like the girl in this conversation.

I have a chance to listening radio and I’m impressed with the phrase “My father have to take care of only me but the King have to take care of all people in Thailand.” In Father’s day I will try to requite my father’s love with being a good child not only this day but also everyday.

After I listen to this conversation, I feel that a little girl is lovely.Although she is a little child but she tries to buy a gift for her father in Father's day.She don't have enough money to buy a wallet so she just buy a tie which is cheaper than a wallet. Even if it is a little gift but it has a value in mind.


In Father's day, I don't have a special gift for him but I give love for my father everyday. My father is in my heart all the time.
.....I LOVE DADDY.....

After I'm listening,I think that girl love her father very much because she tries to do housework until get money from her mother for a father's present.Although a little money can't buy a present which she want and it's not a big present but her love is more important than a present.

Finally,the storekeeper discounts a tie for her because he impresses her love with father.

This coming Father's Day,I will be a good person for my father because he don't like that I buy a present for him so I should be do according to he requests.

I think this website is very interesting and useful for everybody.^^

This girl really loves her father. Although she has not much money, she tries her best to buy something for her father. In fact that gift isn't expensive but for her father that tie is absolutely very valuable. I think that the value of the gift is not depend on the price but it depends on the intention of the giver.

In Father's Day I will be a good child.

According to this conversation, the girl wanted to buy a best thing for her father by herself. She helped her mother to do household work for keeping money to buy a special gift. She thought her father will feel happy when he got this gift from her. ‘Giving the gift’ is a method to tell her father that she loves him. I think the cost of gift isn’t essential for her father. Although the gift is very expensive, it don’t full of love. It is just a normal thing. Whoever can buy it. He feels happy when he just knows that his daughter is a good person and love him.

For Father’s day, I have no idea. I may have dinner with my family at a restaurant.
I promise I will be a good person.^_^

I think,the girl in this story is so cute and filial piety. She keep the money and buy a gift for her father.Even if she has money not enough,she make an effort work for earn the money.Although the gift is't expensive but it has value.

Father's day for me,It normal day because I love my dad everyday,merely this day I'm to recollect my dad specially.And maybe I will have a dinner with my family.

Hi ^ ^
Thanks for recommend this website.

Well , when i listened to "Shopping to day" there have some words that i can't listen to but i know that a little girl wants to buy some present for her dad. I think this conversation is quite easy and i have done the test too , i've got 100 ^^ (haha)

it sounds much, right ?
So i will go on this web more and more ^^ , it's very useful!!

Thank U teacher.Your website,you advised it for ours, is great for me very much.For long time, I have had many problems in my listening skill but this is a good opportunity to improve this skill by myself.

In my point of view,a price of gift is not significant.A gift is not more neccessary than affection in your father.

In this coming father's day,I haven't much money to buy any expensive wallet or tie but this's time I will only tell him the word "love" and pay attention in my learning.I think it is the real thing that he wants from me.

After listening it make me miss my father. I have never given anything to father I love him.

I think a gift is not important thing but it is a little thing that can make everybody happy when they receive . As long as you think to buy a gift for your father ,although it is not expensive but if father knows that I plan to buy him something he will feel good and happy.

Hello! Yo! Yo!
I'm happy to have a chance to practice listening. It is a conversation between a shopkeeper and a customer. The shopkeeper is kind. He tries to tell her something that is a low price. At last she can buy a present for her father.

According to my father's birthday, I would like to do good deed on my father's birthday I will give food to the monks in the morning, sell hello to my father and give him a nice card with beautiful flowers. I think the best think that my father would like to have in me is being a good woman, such as I have a high attempt in education. I can get good grades and have a good behavior.

"Shopping for the day" is not too difficult for me i want to listen more and more to improve my listening skills 555+

In this coming Father's day I will buy something special for my dad.I will buy anything he like. think that "things" can show only what we see but "act" can feel by heart.I will do everything that make him happy.

I know that he doesn't want anything from me but I think "staying with him whenever he wants me to be by his side" is the best thing. It may hard to say " I love you,dad " but I think it's not hard to do as I love him.

I think listening task which teacher gave us is good idea to study English. Intructor should let us practise listening in the class because we don't use English in our everyday life.
According to the story,a litter girl tries to find a gift for her father in Father's Day. She hasn'tgot enough money to buy a wellet but a tie which is on sale. It costs her five dollars.
If I were her father, I would be very happy.

In Father' Day.I will attend learn everyday. Hope my father will happy.

After listening,I think this conversation is very good. It shows about the love that the little girl gives to her father. Because she wants to buy a special present on Father's day. But she doesn't have money. So she gets money from help her mother to do housework. When she gets the money,it isn't enough to buy a wallet. Thus,she buys a tie which is cheaper than a wallet.


Although,you don't give any special present to your dad. But I think that your dad want to a lot of love more than anything.

It was very nice conversation. I can tell the girl is so willing to give her father a gift,but she has only little money ,but finally, the seller helped her to find out what she should get for her father. She sounds so nice to me, such a lovely one. But me, i never buy anything for my dad in a father's day. Because i know my dad does not want me to buy things for him just only in the father's day, he always tell me everyday is important to him as far as I'm a good girl. I should help my parents my best every single days, not just be good in the father's day or mother's day.

I really try to listen this conversation,more than 10 time,I think my listing skill and other engli0sh skill is low but I will try.if I have a problem or Arjarn have some advice I bask in your advice.let's see my opinion

when I listened to "Shopping for the day" I know that girl will buy the wallet to her father but she have no enough money,shopkeeper advice her to buy a tie,that cheaper than wallet,She buy that tie
I think the girl is a grateful doughter.It's cute,that girl would buy something but have no enough money,If I were her I will accumulate money and to see price before.For buy thing that I need to buy.On the other hand It isn't substantial,just buy to father by heart.It's OK!

In this father's.I have to call my father and say "I love you PAPA" and say in myheart I thank you very much for everything I love you and mom everyday.

Wow! Pretty website I think. I don’t know how much energy inside other teacher, but I believe it‘s too much in you, a diligent teacher of me. ^.^

I already listened to the headline “Shopping for the day” in this website you suggested. I think a girl in this conversation is very nice, think about a one girl do some excessive work to purchases a gift for her dad on father’s day while some child have fun on playing . It’s unimaginable that a little girl can contemplate and do an amazing thing like this successfully. I realize that the bliss, her father gets isn’t a tie but it’s a love, his daughter give.

Now I don’t stay with my father. His home is very far from here, higher than the highest mountain in this would, above the cloud on the sky, wherever he stays I wanna tell him I miss you, dad and I’ll love you forever.

Ps. I miss you so much ^_^ wish you are happy there coz I’m happy here

For anyone who still has your true love beside you please keep it as long as you can.

According to the conversation , i think it's quite easy and i've done the test too.

I like the girl in the conversation,she wants to buy a gift for her father eventhough it's not expensive but I think her father will like it surely.

So ,, In father days
I think i will tell him that i love him so much "Bo Rak Papa ka"
and i promise i'll be a good kids. ^^

I think the girl wants to buy a gift to her dad so much, so she helped her mom do the house work for the money. However, she still can not get enought money to buy the gift, but the sales man help her by lower the price for her.

I think the girl is love her dad so much.

And for me, this year I will give a lot of love to my dad as usual, because for me and my dad we know that there is no gift that is more important than the love we give to each other.
