  I totally agree with Bijan and Salwa Kotb. If Sir Sardar Patel were alive, he wouldn’t have liked that. Because this just made many people living in that region suffer a lot.

  Hi Tara,

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

  Second, this audio news is more difficult than the last week (my opinion) because I could not understand it at all.

  Of course, I could understand it after reading the text and could fill in the blanks all words except “make room”.

  Third, it’s so interesting to know about the world’s largest statute, but it’s so sad news to hear that nearly 200 families were forced to leave their land.

  I myself believe that it’s so unfair for families.

  Teacher Tara,

  Thanks so much for choosing the audio news reports from different subjects because it helps us to learn more new words.

  Best wishes and have a great week in nice Canada,
  Bijan from the Persian Gulf
