I was really shocked when I went to the US four years ago because my English was not totally understood. I had learned through textbooks. Through listening to the All Ears English podcast then taking their courses I learned how to communicate with native speakers in English."
"I'm really glad to express my emotions after getting a good overall Band in IELTS. I'm glad to have you people, the actual fact is your podcasts are not only for IELTS but also for real-life English development which I consider a crucial turning point for my entire life."
"Your podcasts and Lessons are really fantastic and brilliant. Actually l am from Uzbekistan and I invariably enjoy, relax and sometimes, have fun while l am listening to them. KEEP IT UP and continue wondering not only me but also IELTS candidates to-be."
"I am a super fan of your podcast. As a matter of fact, I even listened to some of your episodes several times and this legit improves my listening and speaking. My next goal is to complete all the episodes of the IELTS Energy Podcast."
"I am writing to you from Bogot, Colombia. I want to thank you for what you are doing for me and my English with this podcast. All Ears English definitely changed the way I have learned English, it was a big step begin to listen to you. You are doing the best for all your listeners. For sure, listening to you is the best way to improve and reach the goals in this language."
I found All Ears English maybe two months ago and I have to tell you that your podcast about speaking improved my score!! I received my score today and 7.5 in the speaking section was amazing success for me, because last time I got only 6.5. You are doing an amazing job.
"Hi Lindsay and Michelle. I just wanted to let you know that I took the TOEFL IBT Exam last week and I scored a 24 in writing and a 22 in listening. I owe you many thanks. I listen to your podcasts every day on my way to work and it all helped me out to a significant degree."
"Hi Aubrey and Jessica. I have been listening to your IELTS Energy podcast since last-year September. And you guys literally revolutionized my English knowledge. Outstanding work. Just want to tell you guys that I'll definitely get Band 9 in IELTS Speaking the next time I take the test, that implication just sums up how wonderful and fantastic your episodes are. Yes, I truly believe that I can achieve that just by watching you guys. I already got an 8 just by watching and learning from you guys last year in October, crazy right?"
I play your podcast every single morning and I enjoy it so much because you are such an inspiration to me. You kind of changed my life. You are expanding my English knowledge abilities in a way that I couldn't imagine.
I have to score 8 to apply for Permanent Residency in Canada. I found the 3 Keys IELTS course online only 20+ days before my exam.The strategies are concise, easy to understand, to the point, and they WORK! I wish more students could use this course at the beginning of their prep so they can get the scores they want much faster!
Having completed the 60-day study plan, I was able to walk into the test with unshakable confidence. Finally, I could obtain the goal of successfully getting an international English certificate. I would highly recommend 3 KEYS IELTS SUCCESS SYSTEM to anyone who is taking the IELTS exam. This course is a game changer in the IELTS world.

Bats have a problem: how to find their way around in the dark.They hunt at night, and cannot use light to help them find prey and avoid obstacles. You might say that this is a problem of their own making, one that they could avoid simply by changing their habits and hunting by day. But the daytime economy is already heavily exploited by other creatures such as birds. Given that there is a living to be made at night, and given that alternative daytime trades are thoroughly occupied, natural selection has favoured bats that make a go of the night-hunting trade. It is probable that the nocturnal trades go way back in the ancestry of all mammals. In the time when the dinosaurs dominated the daytime economy, our mammalian ancestors probably only managed to survive at all because they found ways of scraping a living at night. Only after the mysterious mass extinction of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago were our ancestors able to emerge into the daylight in any substantial numbers.
Bats have an engineering problem: how to find their way and find their prey in the absence of light. Bats are not the only creatures to face this difficulty today. Obviously the night-flying insects that they prey on must find their way about somehow. Deep-sea fish and whales have little or no light by day or by night. Fish and dolphins that live in extremely muddy water cannot see because, although there is light, it is obstructed and scattered by the dirt in the water. Plenty of other modern animals make their living in conditions where seeing is difficult or impossible.
Blind people, without even being aware of the fact, are actually using echoes of their own footsteps and of other sounds, to sense the presence of obstacles. Before this was discovered, engineers had already built instruments to exploit the principle, for example to measure the depth of the sea under a ship. After this technique had been invented, it was only a matter of time before weapons designers adapted it for the detection of submarines. Both sides in the Second World War relied heavily on these devices, under such codenames as Asdic (British) and Sonar (American), as well as Radar (American) or RDF (British), which uses radio echoes rather than sound echoes.
The Sonar and Radar pioneers didn't know it then, but all the world now knows that bats, or rather natural selection working on bats, had perfected the system tens of millions of years earlier; and their radar' achieves feats of detection and navigation that would strike an engineer dumb with admiration. It is technically incorrect to talk about bat 'radar', since they do not use radio waves. It is sonar. But the underlying mathematical theories of radar and sonar are very similar; and much of our scientific understanding of the details of what bats are doing has come from applying radar theory to them. The American zoologist Donald Griffin, who was largely responsible for the discovery of sonar in bats, coined the term 'cholocation' to cover both sonar and radar, whether used by animals or by human instruments.
Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure.[1] The pilot sits in a harness or in a cocoon-like 'pod' suspended below a fabric wing. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.
Despite not using an engine, paraglider flights can last many hours and cover many hundreds of kilometres, though flights of one to five hours and covering some tens of kilometres are more the norm. By skillful exploitation of sources of lift, the pilot may gain height, often climbing to altitudes of a few thousand metres.
In 1954, Walter Neumark predicted (in an article in Flight magazine) a time when a glider pilot would be "able to launch himself by running over the edge of a cliff or down a slope ... whether on a rock-climbing holiday in Skye or skiing in the Alps."[3]
In 1961, the French engineer Pierre Lemongine produced improved parachute designs that led to the Para-Commander (PC). The Para-Commander had cutouts at the rear and sides that enabled it to be towed into the air and steered, leading to parasailing/parascending.
Author Walter Neumark wrote Operating Procedures for Ascending Parachutes, and in 1973 he and a group of enthusiasts with a passion for tow-launching PCs and ram-air parachutes broke away from the British Parachute Association to form the British Association of Parascending Clubs (which later became the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association). In 1997, Neumark was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Aero Club of the UK. Authors Patrick Gilligan (Canada) and Bertrand Dubuis (Switzerland) wrote the first flight manual, The Paragliding Manual in 1985, coining the word paragliding.
