Assignment #5: How do you like ESL Randall's Cyber Listening Lab as a language learning resource?

My English listening is not good. I have learned it so many years. Before this class, I didn't know so many way to improve my English listening. ESL Randall's Cyber Listening Lab is a very convenience, and it’s also a good web to make your English listening better. You can also do an exercise after you practice many different kinds of conversations. It’s really an useful resource for who wants to practice English listening.
