  Hi Tara,

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

  Second, I could understand the subject without seeing the text and fill in the blanks all the words except the word “smashed”.

  I guess your speaking ‘s speed has become faster during two last week, but I can understand you because you say the words clearly.

  I don’t know why other learners don’t say anything about your speaking’s speed in their comments?
  I hope your learners to say their opinions about the subject because it helps us for improving our listening.

  Third, Japan is one of the countries that have these natural difficulties so much, but Japanese people have learned how they live with these difficulties.

  I know Japanese people as the people who have the discipline in their life and believe in these people so much.

  I wish them all the best and hope they can resolve the recent problem too in the best way.

  Thanks to Teacher Tara and English Club.
  Best wishes and have an excellent week in nice Canada,
  Bijan from the Persian Gulf
