Hello, Cool English teachers! 👋 We are super excited to announce a massive update to one of our most popular listening activities. This week, we are rolling out five new additions to the 10-Question Challenge!

We know how hard it can be to find listening materials that feel authentic but are still accessible for different proficiency levels. That’s why we’ve taken the 10-Question Challenge to the next level with fresh topics, amazing new features, and the flexibility you need for your classroom. 🚀

🌟 What’s New?

We’ve added five essential categories that cover topics your students actually want to talk about. Whether you are teaching general English or Business English, we’ve got you covered:

  1. Food 🍕 (Great for everyone!)

  2. Health & Wellness 🏥

  3. Technology & The Future 🤖

  4. Travel & Exploration ✈️

  5. Work & Career 💼

🎚️ Tailored for Every Student

One size definitely does not fit all in ESL. That’s why each of these new challenges comes in three distinct levels:

  • Beginner

  • Intermediate

  • Advanced

Each level features 10 unique questions spoken by 10 different voices so 150 questions total. This exposes your students to a variety of accents and speaking styles, helping them get accustomed to hearing "real" English from different native speakers, not just the textbook audio! 🎙️

🛠️ Total Control for Teachers

We’ve built this activity to be as flexible as possible. You can customize the experience to fit your lesson plan perfectly:

  • Scaffolding Support: Is the audio too fast? You can adjust the speed! Is listening too difficult? You can reveal the question text for support. 📝

  • Model Answers: Stuck on how to respond? You can show a "Model Answer" to give students a clear example of natural speech.

  • Complexity Check: You can even toggle the complexity to make the questions easier or harder on the fly.

🎮 Gamify Your Class!

Want to turn a boring listening drill into a high-energy competition? You can! 🏆

  • Modes: Play as a single player or split the class into Teams.

  • Timers: Add pressure with a 30-second timer per question, a 5-minute total timer, or keep it chill with no timer at all.

💡 Teaching Tip: The Conversation Starter

Don't forget the "Speaking Practice" Full View! This feature displays all 10 questions at once. It is an absolutely perfect warm-up or cool-down activity. Project the list on the board and let students interview each other in pairs, or use it for a whole-class discussion.


These updates are designed to help your students bridge the gap between hearing English and interacting with it.
