Hi Tara,
First, thank you for this week’s audio news report.
Second, it was so difficult for me and I couldn’t understand it. Of course, I only understood it’s about music. In addition, I could fill in the blanks all words except the word “performing”.
Third, I have to read the subject carefully later and then leave a comment here again.
Best wishes,
Bijan from the Persian Gulf
