Hi Tara,
Wow!
This audio news report was very so difficult for me because I couldn’t understand the subject at all (without seeing the text).I guess it’s in advanced level and also I couldn’t fill in the blanks the words “industry” and “fit”.
I don’t know why the other learners don’t say opinions about this subject because I would like to know the audio news is only so difficult for me or is the same for others too.
I hope the other learners say opinions about the level of this audio news report kindly.
Finally, I don’t know why Canada wants to legalize recreational (connected with ways of enjoying yourself when you aren’t working= The Cambridge Dictionary) cannabis this October?
Many countries are trying to stop smoking cigarettes in public places because it has been proved that they can create the cancer while Canada wants to legalize cannabis?
I wish someone answered my question clearly.
Best wishes and have an excellent time in nice Canada.

Dear Tara,
Thank you so much for your story about Canadians could be denied US entry for Legal Pot Use.
Your prononciation is so clear, I don’t have any problem to understand you. You choose excellent and short today stories.
Sometimes, I have to try 3 or 4 times but I get it.
I always have my notebook for the new vocabulary words.
