Podcast for you!

Dear Boys and Girls,

Do you know that your parents have paid for the access to LMS? Do make full use of it!

I have created a podcast for you. This podcast is not strictly for the recording of the reading passage. You can record your views about the book you are reading or other encouraging sharings.

Isaac is the first person to record the reading passage. He did it on 4 April 2011. I am encouraged to read Nazrul's comments. Dzaqwan is trying to communicate too.

It is good to encourage your friends. I am sure Isaac is glad when he reads Nazrul's comments.

Boys, you've done well. Keep it up!
