Who says you can't get anything for nothing?
 
As teachers of English, it is getting harder and harder for you to get a good cassette recorder to record and edit listenings for use in the classrom in the new digital world. Of course, you don't have to put yourself in any trouble to do it the hard way. What's more, don't just use as a luxury typewriter the new computer you've stuffed your lungs with a real pile of chalk or whiteboard marker ink dust to buy!
 
Welcome to the world of digital recording and editing sofware where you can get really free software. I'd like you to look at some pieces that the digital world has given away. Try them out and you'll believe people are getting kinder when digitalized.
