Learning English Podcast -

On today's podcast, Dan Novak and Ashley Thompson host the show. Ashley tells listeners what they are going to hear today.
First, we have a winning essay from our Ukraine essay contest. Andrew Smith and Gena Bennett read Larisa Dashevska's essay about life in Kherson. Ukraine has had a complex history and faced many challenges. But nothing could have prepared Ukrainians for the ordeal of the Russian occupation of Kherson.
Then Greg Stachel has a report on how hungry Gazans are reduced to eating mallow as the five-month war continues following the attack by Gaza's Hamas rulers on Israel. Websites are warning that Gaza could face a famine in the coming months. Currently, Gazans are observing the holy month of Ramadan, when Muslims fast during the day and feast at night.
After that, Dan Novak has a story about new Australian visa rules for foreign students on the Education Report. Australia will soon begin enforcing stricter visa rules for foreign students. The move comes as official data showed migration hit another record high.
The report is followed by a discussion between Ashley and Dan about why Australia is making it more difficult to get student visas.
Finally, John Russell uses a report about a new study finding that astronauts are more likely to get severe headaches, or migraines, than regular people. John explains the word "migraine," its use and pronunciation.
Then, Ashley and Dan sign off.

Hi. I’m from Ukraine. 10 years ago I lived and studied in Kherson. One of my English teacher was Larisa Dashevska. I’m surprised to hear familiar name.

Thanks

The English subtitles overlap with the VOA logo and cannot be read clearly. Improvements are desired.
