Website of the week

TED.com:

“Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to

the world”

This week’s website of the week which you should check out to help you with your English is TED.com. The subtitle to the site is: “Riveting talks by remarkable people free to the world.” You may well be unfamiliar with the word ‘riveting’ – it means ‘really really interesting’ and there you go, you have learnt something already!

TED.com is a site packed full of presentations by very clever people. These people have great ideas to share. They speak carefully and well and their talks are excellent listening practice. I am delighted to see that the talks have a transcript with them so you can listen and read as you go. Listen without reading the first time, then open up the transcript and take a look at the bits that you couldn’t get and then listen again. Other sites will try to charge you for stuff like this! Enjoy it here.
