It is an excellent program to improve listening comprehension and catch up with the news.
While I was listening, I jotted down a list of words/phrases I am interested in from the video clip.
Yes, it cost me more than 40 min precious morning time, but it’s totally worth it.
Don’t have much time to watch news to be in sync with what’s currently going on in the world. Or put it that I’ m not that much into political stuff. But I think at least I can watch this once a week.
Enlearner, keep posting this, please. Appreciate the video clip you provided, especially the tran, very helpful. Good job!
