My parents has had Stan Lee help for to raise me. By through Spider Man stories, he did teach me about responsability, character strong, resilience and honesty, when I was just a teenager. He went a important part of my life and I’m badly grateful to him forever.

Hi Tara,
Wow!
This audio news report is more difficult than last week. I could only understand 40% of your words ( without seeing the text).
In addition, I could only fill in the blanks the words “recent” and “numerous”.
I guess the audio news report is in advanced level.
Anyway, I’m so happy to hear Stan Lee inspired by the civil rights movement in the early ’60s.
I myself believe that the artists ( an actor, a musician, a dancer,or other performer ) should help for improving civil right in the world by creating the best work of art.
Teacher Tara thanks to you, Teacher Josef and English Club for helping the learners free of charge kindly.
Best wishes and have a great week in nice Canada,

Stan Lee will be very missed for his talent. The new popular anime cartoon can’t compare to any of his work.
