Yesterday I found a website where they read news stories slowly. If you find fast English difficult to follow, this website could really help you. And even if your listening skills are excellent, listening to slow English can help you to work on your own pronunciation, intonation and clarity of speech.
Click here to visit the site and try listening to a slow news story.
Thank you for your recommendation.

Oh my God it is such a useful and fantastic website! There are a lot of topics such as Politics, Environmental Polullution, Loss of spieces,... The interface is colorful, very adorable, there are many lovely animated pictures like a cute polar bear in a post I have just listened to, it's like an educational tool for elementary kids^^ I can listen at whichever pace I want to, because there is choices of slow and fast pace. I love it, because I love colors. And I love you, Teacher Simon! <3 ^^

Hi Simon,
I am so grateful for every site you shared to us. You have previously given links such as Psychologytoday and Brightside. I find them very valuable, so I dedicate my whole time to reading those. I derive much benefit from this habit which is not only improving my reading comprehension, but also expanding my vocabulary.

Voice Of America offers a slow-reading programme for English learners too.
It's a 30-minute audio programme that native American English speakers present news, English grammar(or expressions) and other stories on a daily basis. Yes, this programme does not have a day-off. Just follow the link below to access the show.
