Grade 8 English
Grade 8 is where the passive voice is introduced. The syllabus sets it in the simple present, simple past and simple future across Terms 2 and 3, alongside the past perfect. Get these right here and Grades 9 and 10 become much easier.

Grade 8 Pupil's Book Listening Tests
The listening activities from your English textbook, as tests you can do on your own. Your teacher usually reads these texts aloud in class; here your device reads them, so you can listen again at home, check your answers and see the text afterwards.
Each test names the unit and activity in the Grade 8 Pupil's Book or Workbook.

Grade 8 Extra Listening Tests
Five extra listening tests written by RCF English, for practice beyond the textbook: a weather forecast, advice at a dental clinic, an explanation of how paper is made, a project report and a booking made by telephone.
Choose Practice to replay freely, or Formal test for examination conditions. Each test starts with five words to learn. In Practice you can open the transcript if you are stuck; in a Formal test it appears only after you submit. Every test prints as a worksheet, and all of them, with the Pupil's Book activities, are together in the Listening Laboratory. These follow competency levels 3.2 to 3.4, and the paper-making test also practises the passive voice from competency level 6.1.
