Poetry

Don't laugh. Poetry is the new rock'n'roll...honestly. It could also help you develop your listening and pronunciation skills.

You can download and listen to William Wordsworth's Daffodils here and Stevie Smith's Not Waving But Drowning here. Predictably, there's also a worksheet to go with them.

To listen to Wendy Cope's Bloody Men! click here. To use the poem as a dictation exercise you can download this tempate.
