Choose an artist, a song, and the level that is yours.
Expert: You listen to the song, but not even a word is given to you ! You've got to hear and type ALL the lyrics.
Intermediate: You've got to recognize one words out of five.
Beginner : One word out of eight or nine.
And for teachers it's a good way to be aware of what the students listen to !

Your teacher keeps telling you you should enrich your vocabulary. But you don't know how to. Well, here is a link to a website providing you with many games that will help you. I've selected the one entitled The Vocabulary Quiz. It isn't too difficult. Enough to check you can find a word rapidly. That's what you need when you are writing an essay in class.
