Please join me each week when I review a website to improve your English understanding.
A trend in English learning today is an attraction to Hollywood. Famous people. Stars. Movies.
It's fun and entertaining. It can be informative at the same time. A great combination!
In a previous review, we looked at a site with short movie clips.
Today we are going to explore a creative site by an expert in the English learning field,
Sean Banville CLICK -- famouspeoplelessons.com.
You can learn about famous people and improve your English at the same time!
So, let's switch over to that site.
Here is the site famouspeoplelessons.com.
There are 163 lessons with biographies and profiles.
You can click onto his blog.
You can even make a donation for to show appreciation for the site.
You can see a listing of famous people as you scroll down the page.
There is a list of famous people from many countries around the world.
I use this site with my own students.
It is perfect audio lesson for students.
Actually, this is a great website for both students and teachers.
You choose the person you want, like Angelina Jolie.
Angelina is a very interesting person and of course famous.
I have used this lesson in my own class.
You will notice options across the top including a download of the lesson in Word or PDF.
You begin with a transcript of the audio lesson and as you scroll down (SCROLL DOWN) you see
the various exercises.
You see exercises for choosing the correct word, synonyms, gap fill, and even a written
exercise near the bottom of the page.
