Hi Friends,
Video words in the News while building up our storage of vocab , we have the privilege of gaining the pronunciation skill.
No doubt, we are in the right place (MyEC) which is quite enough to learn everything but
from the point of different accent, it would be good, hopefully "content-rich education" will appropriate to your learning habit,
Enjoy your study,
Ps: Thank you for being with me so far,
in the summer days, motivation is getting lower, thanks for your understand.

Hi all,
I've chosen a video about the major conflict in Afghanistan.
After listening related video I've written my summary;
"Story of Afghanistan War, A Decade of Conflict,"
The conflict had began in 2001 when Al Qaida attacked to New york, Washington,DC and Pensilvania. Unfourtunately nearly 3000 people died. The fighting continued for 10 years and called “ Operation Enduring Freedom”.
Nato airstrikes hit Afghanistan by Bush’s order, British Government stated that they would be engaged to war.
OEF (Operation Enduring freedom) aimed finding Osama Bin Laden and overthrowing Taliban regime which supported to & protected Al Qaida training camps.
The second aim achieved easily. After Taliban regime finished, interim government was established, in 2004 a democratic election was held, Karzai won the president election.
Afghanistan became getting forgotten the war but suicide attacks was increasing.
However conditions was being difficult so killing of five Biritish soldiers was popular back home. Obama sent another 30.000 American troops in December 2009.
In May 2011 Mr Cameron announced their returns, as to Obama’s (his presidental victory was in 2008) announcement was they will withdraw step by step till next year.
Most wanted figure Osama was killed in May 2011 by US special military team in his secret compound, Pakistan and was burried in sea.
During heavy war, claimed 2500 international soldiers and 382 British troops.
And using my own sentences reexpressed that viedo text.
Biaman is a city where was blew up by Taliban, once security concernes were addressed, it’s hoped the authorities can make there the blackbone of Afghan economy by doing jump-start as attracking tourism to international skiing competition in ski slops.
Would you like to try ?

My note; when you look for a word in the dictionary, don't forget to look its ( pronunciation ) phonetic symbol and vocabulary knowledge, I mean if it is a verb, noun, adjective and etc.

Good afternoon,
After nearly nine years, our war in Iraq is ending.
In recent days, many of our troops have come home and been reunited with their families for the holidays. Over the next few days, a small group of American soldiers will begin the final march out of Iraq.
This moment of success is because of their sacrifice. More than 1.5 million Americans have served in Iraq. More than 30,000 of these brave men and women were wounded. Nearly 4,500 gave their lives. America’s military families have borne a heavy burden.
As we mark the end of this war, we need to show our veterans and their families that they have the thanks of a grateful nation.
Part of ending a war responsibly is standing by those who have fought it. It's not enough to honor our heroes with words; we must do so with deeds.
That's why we've worked to send 600,000 veterans and family members back to school on the Post-9/11 GI Bill. That's why one of Michelle's top priorities as First Lady has been to support military families and why she's worked with the private sector to get commitments to create 100,000 jobs for those who've served and their spouses. That's why we worked with Congress to pass a tax credit so that companies have an incentive to hire vets and have taken steps to help veterans translate military experience to the private sector job market.
In America, our commitment to those who fight for our freedom and our ideals doesn't end when our troops take off the uniform.
You can be a part of this effort to honor our heroes.
Help mark this moment. Write a quick note that troops and veterans all over the world will be able to see:
