  Hi Tara,

  First, because of being your student from 2016, I decided to listen to your lessons that you had published on English Club from 2011 and I had not participated at them.
  Thus I went to the first of them that you had published in 2011 and saw that there is not any place for leaving the comment.
  So I began from here that is the first lesson that has the place for leaving my comment.

  Second, I have used to your voice and my ears is match to it, then I understood the above lesson at the first time and it is so easy for me.
  In addition, I could fill in the blanks all words except the word “moving forward”.

  Third, it looks like Japan and South Korea have the same opinion about political trust, but China not.
  Thus it’s so interesting, if China can have a free-trade contract with Japan and South Korea.

  Fourth, this news belongs to 2012, so we don’t know the above negotiating has been lead to a contract or not?

  Sixth, I suggest to English Club for creating a place for leaving the comments on your audio news week from 2011.

  Teacher Tara,
  I would love to listen to your audio news and also the lessons that Teacher Jaksyn will publish.

  I hope to have free time for listening to both of them because I love learning English.

  Best wishes and have a nice weekend,
  Bijan
