  Fortnite is a multiplayer FPS game. Approximately, there are 200 million people who have registered for the game. This achievement is something unusual, as Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, is backed by Disney. I tried the game once, then quit it immediately as I couldn’t get the hang of it. However, I’ve got to admit this game is big. The fame probably is gained from its gameplay and interactive multiplayer platform.

  Good Job!
  More empty spaces should be employed in order to have a larger impact on the listening skill acquisition.

  Hi Tara,

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

  Second, it’s easier than the last week and I could understand the subject without seeing the text.
  In addition, your speaking ‘s speed is slow and also you have said the words so clear.
  But I could fill in the blanks the words “earns” and “companies”.

  Thirds, I myself didn’t know about fortnite at all and it’s so interesting for me that I couldn’t find this word in any dictionary.

  Thank you so much and best wishes,
  Bijan from the Persian Gulf

  Thank you , Tara.
  This time, I found all the words with no mistakes.
  But, I had to read at least 5 times to get the meaning of the story.
