Aliona`s listening

Hello, everybody!

I want to share with you some information I`ve got after my additional listening.

So, first I listened to the tape from VOA Special English Economics Report named "Getting Young Indians to Choose Tea Over Coffee". The title seemed interesting to me, as personally I can't imagine how would be the morning without my cup of coffee! So, I found, that coffee smells around the world and even in the the birthplace of tea, India. India is being quickly taken to tea and coffee culture, but they remain faithful to tradition. I knew, that Indians drink eight times more tea than coffee. By the way, tea is called as "chai" in many different countries, not only in Ukraine or Russia. 

Secondly, I chose the video from ESL Video Quiz "Golden Retriever, the coolest dog in the world".
It was really great pleasure to watch it, because this breed of dog is just wonderful! You know, that
<>the Golden Retriever is one of the most beloved dogs in the world? They don`t afraid of water and have special "soft mouth" - they can carry an egg in the mouth without breaking, so that you don`t worry about your children. In general, it`s amazing family dog!
After listening, I`ve done the test and took 10 score of 11 (also I liked, that there were shown the right and wrong answers).

Generally, I enjoyed my listening today, and I advise you to watch the video about these amazing dogs!

Aren`t they cool?

Thanks a lot.
