  Hi Tara,

  Oh!

  This audio news report is so difficult for me and could only understand these words after several times to listen to it:

  camera, area, in Kenya, East Africa, was captured, animal, photograph, country, actually, regular, the cat, black.

  Thus I could understand the subject so hardly without seeing the text & guess it’s in advanced level too.

  I hope you to publish these audio news reports in advanced level once in a month.

  Please, feel free to say no.

  Thank you so much and have a wonderful week in nice Canada,
  Bijan from the Persian Gulf
