Audio Short Story Package: Listening & Quiz (No-Call)
Description
Improve your English listening skills on your own schedule with a professionally recorded short story package!
PLEASE NOTE: This is a self-study, NO-CALL lesson. We will not be meeting live for a video call.
This package is designed to let you practice your listening skills wherever you go, on your own schedule. You will receive a premium audio recording of a classic or contemporary short story read by me, a complete text transcript with a vocabulary list, and a comprehension quiz to monitor your progress.
Booking Note: You may request one story per lesson package. You MUST specify your chosen story in your lesson request. Because this is a self-study audio package, requests without a selected story cannot be accepted.
How It Works:
-
Listen & Read: Download the audio file and transcript to practice your listening stamina, rhythm, and vocabulary at your own pace.
-
Take the Quiz: Within 24 hours of your request, I will send you a comprehension quiz through Cafetalk.
-
Get Feedback: Send your answers back to me, and I will personally correct your quiz and provide your answer key.
