If you can spare five minutes a day, then listen to This I Believe at the National Public Radio (NPR).
This I Believe is a project that let people talk about what they believe within a few minutes. In each broadcasting, you can hear someone reading the short essay he wrote. Some of the authors are well-known, like entrepreneur Bill Gates, novelist John Updike, astronaut Dan Tani, and politician John McCain.
But a majority of the authors are the ordinary people just like you and me. The theme of their stories ranges from as grand as improving the world to as simple as “be cool”. They wrote from their hearts, and their readings came through fresh and original.
After listening to each essay, you can read the transcript at the website to check your comprehension. The readings in This I Believe project are the best short listening materials available online.
This we believe.
