Greetings to English Club and Teacher Tara,
I could answer all ten questions correctly, so thank you English Club and Teacher Tara.
It’s nearly nine months that I listen to audio news report every day.
Now, I can feel my listening is better than before and I can understand English texts well.
I believe it’s because of English club that created this section for improving the students’ listening and also it’s because of Teacher Tara who pronounces the words clearly and understandable.
Special thanks to English Club and Teacher Tara who helps the students free of charge.
Best wishes,
Bijan from the Persian Gulf
