Joe's Cafe, 24/7 pit stop for ESL learners and teachers | November 2008
Egg's off, bacon's off, bread's off, tea's off. English is on though.
Obama AddressUSA President-elect Barack Obama has made good use of the Internet and it was probably largely thanks to the Internet that he won the US presidential election. Here is his first weekly address, placed on Change.gov and playing through YouTube. This is a good listening exercise. Notice that (when the video is playing) you can turn subtitles on or off through the arrow button, bottom right. Joe | Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 | Filed under Listening

Mr Bush the former President of American, I don’t like him so much, because he in my father’s opinion, is a aggrasive man. And I waited for the change for a long time. Now It occured, the new one replace him, his name is Barrac Obama. He is a black man, his father is Keynia, and he lived with the second father in Indonesia. In his childhood , he was poor and lived in the poverty, said the Obama. But he is a intelligent man, and always wants to be a leader in any game with his friends. And one of saying of his when he was a child that: I wants to be a president. At present It becomes true. He is new president of American. In front of fans and supporters of him, he spoke : It’s only my victory, but also yours. He said, It was you, who claim that the Democracy is still exist and didn’t disappeare in the world. But he also said the America face some challenges about Economy and dispute which more and more complexly between Afganistan and Israel

Mr.Bush , go to hell.Big liar.arrogant..pushed by his masters( the Jews)to do every bad action for the sake of Israel.I don’t say because I am muslim but because this the truth that everyone knows even Bush himself knows that he is misled by the Jews but cant uttered a word. As for Muslims…I say ..don’t expect (good) from Obama.. because all the Americans are toys in the hands of the Jews….. and believe me the American empire will collapse soon…it’s a matter of time not more…and remember me !!!!!

When I take May opinion, both of them are not right people (Mr. Bush & Mr. Obama), according problem economy forward to America. And president Obama he couldn’t solve it; that economic cresses caused Republican part…. and we will wait for the coming 5 years when the Republican part will success to lead in America. And I believe that the only part to solving economic cresses to built it their political issue. And only problem American people will thing it
Thanks for your testing, and be sorry if you feel some problem in grammatically

That’s it. I’ve been looking for a video with subtitles for a long time.It’s very clear and helpful really. Your materials are very refined, original and creative. Congratulations, Thank you indeed. whatever I need, EClub meet them.
Now, as my opinion, there is a natural balance of the world which is top over the people who is this.Their importance is not important because of the system is important.
