Nine Answers

Hello!

I'm Jane Hanser and the ESL Help Desk is glad that you have stopped by today!  For our new listeners, the ESL Help Desk is a unique podcast for learners of English because all of our examples and activities are based on authentic language, either written or spoken by others learners of English.  We are based just outside of Boston Massachusetts, home of the 2007 American League Champion Boston Red Sox baseball team.

If you are a learner of English, this is the place to ask your questions about writing and grammar, and to share your thoughts about learning English as your second (or third) language.  If you have a question or comment and you would like us to respond, be sure to include your email address.

Today we're going to focus on listening comprehension.  Two weeks ago we listened to nine questions, and today we're going to listen to the nine answers.  However, we will be leaving one word out of each answer: Your challenge is to choose the correct word or phrase from the answers below for each "blank". 

You may listen to the answers as many times as you need. You may also go back to hear the original nine questions. 

Below are the nine word or phrases, but they are not in the correct order. Each one fits only once. 

We hope you really enjoy these thought-provoking and creative questions and their thoughtful and entertaining answers.

Enjoy your listening activity, and thanks for stopping by and we hope to see you next week.
