I have uploaded a Higher Tier (or even Y12) listening task based on the 'Influencers' reading text I previously uploaded. You can read aloud the text or use the MP3 file I created. The task is to correct a faulty transcript, find vocabulary and do a bullet point summary in English. The text is quite hard, but the faulty transcript exercise provides an effective scaffold.
