Marhaba! With the beginning of every New Year, most people around the world commit to getting in shape, exercising more, and in many cases losing weight. People flood gyms and struggle to workout at least 3 times every week. Some fail while others succeed. Going to the gym consistently is an item that appears on my New Year Resolution every year. Today, I am sharing a video from Al Arabiya news station that discusses another form of physical loss at the gym, but it has nothing to do with your physique. Many of you Arabic lovers mentioned that listening comprehension exercises are helping you out learn and practice Arabic, and I cannot reiterate the importance of such comprehension exercises. With practice I am confident you will be able to listen to native Arabic speakers discuss common topics of interest as well as read and understand different texts, phrases, and passages. As always, I will give you all some time to work on your answers and then I will post the answers to the questions. After presenting the video, I have some questions for you to answer.

Questions:

1. How many decibels does gym music sometimes reach, causing a threat to hearing?
2. How much time does it take for loud music to start causing harm?
3. How many maximum decibels should gym music reach to stay safe?
4. What is that maximum equivalent to?
5. Why is it better to listen to music through a personal device?

For now take care and stay tuned for the answers soon!
Happy Learning!
Have a nice day!!
