Growing up, I never had the opportunity to do any extra practice to improve my listening skills. We didn’t have the Internet and the thousand possibilities it offers to learners of any language nowadays. The teachers had an old tape player that sometimes stopped and started on its own and old tapes that ended up sounding distorted and most of the times unlistenable so if you wanted to get better at listening, you just listened to the radio and struggled to understand the lyrics and sing along. Not that I ever complained.
That was the perfect excuse to listen to music while claiming to be working hard. So, exams are just around the corner and I know you’re beginning to freak out.

US film of parachuting beavers found after 65 years (it's OK, they survived) More than half a century after a group of beavers were parachuted into the Idaho backcountry, the state’s department of fish and game has uncovered film footage of the quirky wildlife management moment.
In the 1940s the department was trying to deal with an overpopulation of beavers in some regions when wildlife managers settled on a novel idea. They captured beavers and other fur-bearing rodents, packed them into boxes, attached parachutes and dropped them from a plane into the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Boise state public radio reports that a film made around 1950 showed the infamous beaver drops, but it had long been lost. Recently, fish and game historian Sharon Clark found the fragile film, which had been mislabeled and stored in the wrong file.

Obama and Corden started by jamming to one of her favorite artists, Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” Obama admitted that she hasn’t gotten to rock out in a car in ages, which makes this momentous occasion (almost) as special for her as it is for all of us. Another fun fact? It wasn’t long before the focus shifted to girl-power jams: first, Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies”—which, we should all note, Obama knows by heart, complete with hand-waving choreography.
