Assignment #4 Six Minute English

I just heard the topic "Do opposites attractive?" from the website 6 minutes English. I found out that we really can improve dramatically our listening skills by surfing this website. I have my own notes after listening "Do opposites attractive?". The two speakers are discussing about can we fall in love with other at the first sight? Next, both of them feel that humor is very important in a relationship. Besides that, they also think that the health of women also is a vital case. Men always think that women must be able to conceive and get pregnant soon getting babies successfully. If women can't pregnant, men will think that they won't fall in love in this kind of women. Nowadays, women or men tried to have plastic surgery for changing their appearance to attract someone. By the way, both of the two speakers usually think that humor and kind eyes are the perfect way to attract someone and fall in love with. The question that asked from this topic is what percentage of Americans said they believe in love at first sight? The answer is 56%. 

I really believe that this website can help a lot of people to improve their English because of their (this website) clearly and fluently English. I will continue to use this website to getting ahead my English listening skill.

I think this website is suitable for the English learner. I like the content in this website but the speech is too slow for me. I like this website because I can learn a lot of phrases and vocabulary. Besides that, I can also learn how to explain the vocab with English. I'll try to listen the different topic from the website and also use other website that teacher given.
