Today I have been listening to the radio almost all day. I always tune to
the radio CBC 1 , which I heard is like BBC in Britain, NHK in Japan. By
listening to the same broadcast station in the same way, I have found very
interesting programs so far. It has a lot of interviews with writers of novels,
books or leading persons in Canadian societies and outside world.
Especially it seems
specially stressed the aboriginal people’s lives and immigrants’. Recently I
download its special program from the website (podcast) and send them to the
i-pod , and enjoy listening on the bus or in walking along the streets. I feel happy to
realize I am gradually getting used to listening to their fast speaking. There
are still lots of difficulties to understand clearly because I need to know the
backgrounds of the stories.
Today it goes without saying it is featuring the 10th anniversary of September
11th. I sent an email to an ELI friend who is now in New York and
to hear from her what is happening around her. I was just now impressed to know
from the radio program that some representatives are reading the individual names of the
victims aloud, but the readers are all from their families or related people.
It is very significant for her to be there
today. I visited the World Trade Center summer in 1992.
