10 Best Free Listening Websites with Quizzes to Practise for Listening Exams
So what do you do to practise listening for exams? Growing up, I never had the opportunity to do any extra practice to improve my listening skills. We didn’t have the Internet and the thousand possibilities it offers to learners of any language nowadays. The teachers had an old tape player that sometimes stopped and started on its own and old tapes that ended up sounding distorted and most of the times unlistenable so if you wanted to get better at listening, you just listened to the radio and struggled to understand the lyrics and sing along. Not that I ever complained. That was the perfect excuse to listen to music while claiming to be working hard.
8 Truly Feminist Lessons From Jane Austen That Every 21st Century Woman Can Use
As she established herself as a serious writer, Jane Austen showed us all that her bread and butter were her women's stories. Her badass-ness manifested in proving that that novels written by women about women can uncover real truths, challenge, and unseat any reader — and, come on, is there any more feminist statement than women are (gasp!) human beings who are just as complex and interesting as men?

Controversial Subjects in the Classroom
Overview: Invariably, issues are raised in classrooms that bring charged responses from students. How can educators set the stage for safe, respectful dialogue and learning? Three students in a college Shakespeare course I taught accused me of trying to make them say two female characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream were lesbians. Since my lesson plan involved Shakespearean diction and close reading, I didn't take them seriously. I laughed. My response made the students even angrier, and they stormed out of the room, one gliding defiantly out on roller blades.
A century of distinction: 100 women who changed the world - News - People - The Independent
To celebrate the occasion, The Independent on Sunday today salutes 100 women who have changed the world for ever and for the better, and who are drawn from all walks of life. The IoS's top female minds came together to make their selections; the only restriction facing them was that the candidates should be British and have made their lasting contribution during the past 100 years.

We would, of course, welcome your thoughts about those who are on the list – and about those we did not, but should have, featured.
