English listening classes

I had three English listening classes last Thursday. My listening teacher, Qing-yuan Cai, who gave us some extra audiovisual about CNN news. This was the first time that teacher used it to be our learning materials. I was very interested in it because teacher told us some very important words or phrase from it. For example, the news article was Turkey. The anchorperson introduced some special custom about turkey. She said that eating turkey was a very common Thanksgiving meal on Thanksgiving Day in America. In this news teacher taught us some words like “gobble, fowl, mutton, and venison etc.” Venison is a kind of meat that comes from a deer. I did not know the meaning of venison before watching this news. I think this new materials can make me learn more useful words and phrases.
