Audiobooks – More practice for IELTS listening   

Normally, I’d tell you that reading novels isn’t really going to help you get very good at IELTS academic reading….but…
…if you need some free practise for your IELTS listening, then audiobooks, might just be the right thing!

Like the radio or podcasts, you can listen to them anywhere, in the car, on your bike, in the gym or even at work. Here’s a list of places to find them.

1. Audible. You can get a month’s free trial and choose from an enormous number of audio books from Harry Potter to Emily Bronte. You can also listen to my novel ‘Warmstone’ here as well.

 
2. https://librivox.org/ – totally free, LibriVox aims to have most classic literature in audio form. Click on the pictures below for Mary Shelly’s absolute classic – Frankenstein.


 
3. Open Culture http://www.openculture.com/freeaudiobooks 700 free audio books here – there must be something good for you to read…and free too.
