New Task - New Listening Challenge

Congratulations you are ready for original English sources!
As your listening skills have improved, I think it's time for a new challenge. You will no longer read and listen from the VOA special English site. Instead you will choose an audio form The Economist, an English weekly news magazine that addresses an educated readership. There is a variety of topics and current issues to choose from. You will not only improve your listening skills but also form your mind, improve your general knowledge and get ready to be critically thinking university students; you are going to develop an opinion on issues that concern the world!
The procedure is still the same: Listen to a file of your choice, pick two unknown words and post them on to our blog along with their meaning and phonetics. Enjoy it!
