  Hi Tara,

  First, thank you for this week’s audio news report.

  Second, I could understand the subject without seeing the text, but only answered the question of one the Comprehension correctly.
  In addition, I couldn’t fill in the blanks the word healthy.

  Third, you have spoken so clearly and I can tell you your speaking ‘s speed is also slower than the last week.
  Thank you so much for this nice method.

  Fourth, when I was reading the story I thought by myself what is the secret of this successful marriage?

  They have been living with each other for 80 years in lovely way, but now why cannot the couples of this modern world have this successful marriage?

  I don’t know what is the reason of it?
  But, I’m sure about one subject and it’s that some of us have lost the sense of LOVE.

  LOVE is the key of a successful marriage in a way that two souls can touch each other nicely.

  Teacher Tara,
  Thank you and have a nice weekend in Canada.
