I feel extremely angry at such a short and disappointed news .I even can’t image this horrible story can occur in such the developed country USA and millennium contemporary .Furthermore,these had been lasted for a long period of time without one of the gymnastic board found out,which is an inexcusable mistake.Putting the criminal into prison is the least thing we could do to console the victims.Lastly,I have always believed that justice might be late but never be absent.

Hi again Tara,
Today, I read on the news that Aly Raisman thinks 175 years for Larry Nassar is “Not Enough”.
Here is the link:

Hi Tara,
First, thank you for this week’s news report.
Second, I’m so happy today because I could understand the audio news report in the first step without seeing the text.
Third, it’s one year now that I listen to your nice news reports for half an hour every day and feel my listening is improving day to day. I suggest to your students for improving their listening, it’s better to listen to the news reports every day.
Fourth, I’m surprised why did the organization mishandle reports of Nassar’s abuse over the years in an advanced country like the USA?
Best wishes and have a great weekend in nice Canada,
