Time4English began twelve years ago and the site reflects my students' needs over the years.

As well as lots of listening, you'll find material on the Academic Word List and on academic referencing.

Please note: all of the listening and most of the quizzes on this site are Flash-based. Unfortunately these important aspects of the site won't work with ipads.

When he awoke he saw his three wives standing next to his bed. For many years the man had been living with three different women as a double bigamist. He thought that he had organised for the three women to visit him in hospital at different times, but his plan didn’t work.

As part of a campaign to raise poverty awareness four Mexican politicians spent three nights living in a hut with dirt floors. the hut was crawling with spiders and scorpions.
