Writing while listening integrates orthographic and phonological processing, reinforcing both spelling and comprehension at once. This arc has about 41 words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences. Average sentence length is about 21 words, which supports controlled pacing. Use emphasis to keep key phrases clear and expressive. Key terms include represents, contribute, democratic, something, beautiful. Repeat these during the arc to build automatic recall and speaking confidence.
Each piece represents hours of unpaid labor by artists who wanted to contribute something beautiful to their community.
This arc contains only declarative sentences, making it ideal for practicing steady speech rhythm and consistent stress placement across every line. Sentences average 21 words in this arc, well above the conversational norm, so treat this as a breath-control and pacing challenge. At under a minute of reading time, this arc works as a micro-drill that you can repeat several times in one session for deep reinforcement. Dictation mode forces exact recall of every word and punctuation mark, so treat each exercise as a test of your listening precision, not your typing speed.
Each piece represents hours of unpaid labor by artists who wanted to contribute something beautiful to their community. Street art is often the most democratic form of public art, created by and for the people who actually live in a place.
Arc 11 in "Walls That Speak" applies Community & Social Connection language to practical communication tasks at the Fluency level. Key terms such as represents, contribute, democratic, something appear repeatedly, while the dominant superlatives pattern gives you a stable structure for controlled repetition across roughly 2 sentences.
Phrasal verbs combine base verbs with particles (prepositions or adverbs) to create meanings often unrelated to the component parts—"give up" (surrender), "look into" (investigate), and "put off" (postpone) exemplify this. English relies heavily on phrasal verbs, especially in spoken and informal registers, making them essential for natural communication. Some phrasal verbs are separable (turn the lights off / turn off the lights), while others are inseparable (look after the children). Three-word phrasal verbs (put up with, look forward to) follow additional patterns. Many phrasal verbs have formal single-word equivalents (find out/discover, set up/establish) that appear in academic and professional writing. Understanding these relationships helps learners choose appropriate register. Building phrasal verb competence requires exposure and practice—there are thousands in common use.
Treat Arc 11 as a dictation sprint: listen once for meaning, listen again for detail, then type exactly what you hear before checking. This Fluency set has 1 exercises, so you can practice short focused bursts without losing attention. Prioritize word boundaries, contractions, and punctuation cues while typing, then review mistakes by replaying only the lines you missed. Core terms in this arc include represents, contribute, democratic, something, beautiful, which makes the page useful for both listening precision and spelling control.
The self-correcting nature of dictation means every typing session reveals exactly which sound-letter correspondences need more reinforcement. This Community & Social Connection lesson gives you topic-specific rehearsal rather than isolated sentence practice. For Fluency learners, the goal is controlled accuracy first, then automatic fluency. Key vocabulary in this arc includes represents, contribute, democratic, something, beautiful, so repeated retrieval improves both precision and retention. The dominant sentence profile is superlatives, so focus on consistent stress placement and boundary control. You will process about 41 words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences, enough volume to consolidate the target pattern. As transcription accuracy improves, you build faster decoding of reduced forms and clearer punctuation mapping — training the listening precision that real conversations demand.

At natural speaking speed, one complete pass takes about 1 minute. This makes it ideal for a quick daily practice session, and you can repeat the arc multiple times for deeper reinforcement.
This is the most common frustration for English learners. Dictation directly addresses the passive-active gap by forcing you to produce language, not just recognize it. dictation accuracy and spelling detail builds the neural pathways that turn passive vocabulary into words you can actually use in conversation.
Mental translation creates delay and unnatural speech. This arc helps by using typing each phrase exactly as you hear it — when you practice repeatedly with the same vocabulary and sentence patterns, production becomes automatic rather than consciously assembled. The 1 exercises in this arc give you enough repetition to build automaticity.
Yes — this arc is designed for daily practice. A full pass takes about 1 minute, making it easy to fit into a daily routine. Repeat the arc multiple times per week to build speaking confidence and fluency incrementally.
Yes — Arc 11 is designed for the Fluency tier. If you find the exercises too challenging, try a lower tier arc in the same category. If they feel easy, move up to the next tier for a greater challenge.
Yes. You can try this same arc in read aloud mode for pronunciation clarity, repeat audio mode for listening and rhythm, or type what you hear mode for dictation precision. The vocabulary (represents, contribute, democratic, something) stays the same across modes, so switching modes reinforces the same content through different skills.
