Kikokushijo Academy Wordcast

In each Listen and Learn broadcast, we present you with additional material that will give your listening comprehension skills and confidence a big boost.  Each week, you will listen to a short passage on a different topic.   The topics are not only interesting and useful in their own right; they are the very topics that test-makers love to include on their exams.  After you listen to the passage, you will take a short quiz—ten comprehension questions that will make sure you understand and retain the information and ideas contained in the passage.  Today’s passage is entitled Why Waste Water?     ·     Key vocabulary words from the passage are explained in the bonus track.  Each word is spelled out, clearly defined, and accompanied by its most common synonyms and antonyms.   Sample sentences show you how the word is used—and how to use it.  What better way to build up your active vocabulary!
