Websites about Listening and Grammar

Listening
Name of the website: BBC learning English
Website address: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/

The traditional accent in old kingdom always attracts me, so I had the idea of searching for a website set by British people. Utilize Google and limit to the English website, then type the key word” British” and “listen.” Browse the first page of the results; you can see a famous name on the list.
Click into the website, we find out that the home page contains some categories, surprisingly, one of them is 中文! Here in the left side of the Chinese version website has a category named learning English. We can find anything we need

Content & Strengthen:
There is a great deal of MP3 and many PDF scripts named Take away English for English learners to download.
Because I’m not native speaker, I want to check the scripts of the talks they conduct.
The elegant talks sound like music. Sometimes I can turn on the radio, let the beautiful sound keep flow smoothly as a kind of background music in my room.

Weakness:
Some of the scripts of the talks are incomplete.

Grammar

Name of the website: Guide to Grammar and Writing
Website address: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/

When it comes to grammars, my eyebrows elevate and my cold sweat drops.
My memory capacity is not much thus I avoid not memorizing thousands of rules of English. Instead, I read articles to learn this language.


Content and Strengthen:
It is simple!
It’s time to start to learn grammars now, however, I had better pay attention to the most important grammar or I’ll be confused if I try to memorize all of them.
The goal of the website is to help people those who would like to have basic ability rather than to attend a highly succeed achievement.
The website was established by a community college, so the correction and importance of their materials are undoubted.

The organization make us easy to find the contents we need.
