The Vice Presidential Debates Tonight

I know I said that we were going to talk about the presidential debates but have yet to do it.

We will do it next week. We'll talk about the first debate and then prepare for the second debate, which is next week.

In the meanwhile, the vice presidential debate is TONIGHT. This should be something interesting for you to watch, and of course it will be excellent listening practice.

The key to enjoying this debate and getting the most out of it is PREPARATION. If you know what to expect, then the listening will be a lot easier. To do some pre-listening, read the following short article:
