  Hi Tara,

  First, Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays.
  I wish you the best holidays with love, happiness and health.

  Second, it’s nearly two years that I have been your student on this part of English Club, but the above audio news report is so difficult for me.
  Of course, I could understand the subject a little, but your speaking ‘s speed is fast.
  I could fill in the blanks all words except the words “urban” and “glass”.

  Third, it’s the first time that I hear about the tunnel for electric cars. Of course, I had heard about electric cars before, but I didn’t know about the tunnel for them in California.

  Thank you so much for presenting a new subject for your learners.

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