Cloze
These activities involve the use of cloze exercises. Cloze exercises are a type of language learning activity in which learners must fill in the missing words in a text. These exercises can help learners improve their reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and overall language proficiency. The Britlish Library offers a wide range of cloze exercises on various topics, including grammar, vocabulary, and idioms. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, the cloze exercises in the Britlish Library can provide you with valuable practice in filling in missing words and help you improve your language skills.
Reading
Our Reading material provides students with a wealth of resources to help them prepare for a variety of English language exams, including the FCE, CAE, and CPE. By studying the lessons in this category, students will gain valuable practice in reading comprehension, critical analysis, and language acquisition. The exercises and texts are designed to simulate the types of tasks students will encounter on the actual exams, providing them with the opportunity to build their skills and confidence in a supportive and engaging environment. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, the lessons offer something for everyone, with a wide range of topics, levels, and activities to choose from. If you're looking to improve your reading abilities, prepare for an English language exam, or simply expand your knowledge, this is the perfect place to start!
Vocabulary
Did you know that there are over 600,000 words in English? That's a lot of words, and far more than any human being could ever manage to learn. Even Shakespeare only used around 55,000 different words in all of his works. Mind you, he did actually invent quite a few of them. To get a good mastery of English, you do need to expand your vocabulary as much as possible. The more words you know, the better your English will be. The Activities here will help you to quickly develop your vocabulary.
IPA Symbols
The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is an essential tool for any student or teacher of the English language. Developed in the 19th century, the IPA provides a standardized way to represent the sounds of speech in written form. The British English IPA chart includes 44 symbols that represent the monophthongs, diphthongs, and consonant sounds of spoken British English. The Britlish Library offers a wide range of activities to help you master the British English IPA symbols, improve your pronunciation, and take your English language skills to the next level. Whether you're a student or a teacher, our activities are designed to help you learn, remember, and effectively use the IPA in your English language studies.
Listenings
Reading is an effective way to improve one's understanding of the English language. However, listening is a more challenging skill that requires dedicated practice and development. The Britlish Library offers a variety of activities that focus on the speech features of native English speakers, such as elision, simplification, intonation, stress, and rhythm. These activities aim to help students understand and effectively listen to spoken English, including the nuances and variations that may occur in conversation. By working through these activities, learners can improve their listening skills and gain a deeper understanding of the English language.

This is a fictional account of Otzi the Iceman's final day, from when he woke up to when he died on the mountain. Otzi wakes up feeling uneasy, sensing that something bad is about to happen. As he climbs higher into the mountains, he feels like he is being followed. Suddenly, he is shot by an unknown attacker and struggles to escape through a fierce blizzard. After collapsing again, he builds a fire to keep warm but knows the end is near due to the severity of his wound. As he lays there, he reflects on his life, his legacy, and the afterlife before slipping into eternal slumber. Otzi, also known as the Iceman, is one of the oldest and most well-preserved human bodies ever discovered. He was found in September 1991 by hikers in the Italian Alps, near the border between Italy and Austria. Otzi's body was found in a melting glacier, at an altitude of around 3,200 meters above sea level. He had been naturally mummified by the ice and was remarkably well-preserved, with much of his clothing and equipment still intact. Scientists believe that Otzi lived during the Copper Age, around 5,300 years ago, and was likely a hunter and gatherer who roamed the highlands. Otzi's remains have provided valuable insights into ancient life, including information about clothing, diet, and medical practices.
