Today, I am sharing a video from Al Arabiya news station that discusses why October 2013 is proving to be the coldest month of the year for many Arabs in the Middle East. Rather than provide you with a reading comprehension exercise, today I have decided to provide you with a listening comprehension exercise. After presenting the video, I have some questions for you to answer. I reiterate that reading and listening comprehension exercises are extremely important for practicing Arabic, and in time, can you help out immensely in learning Arabic. 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0623\u0643\u062a\u0648\u0628\u0631 2013 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0643\u062b\u0631 \u0628\u0631\u0648\u062f\u0629 \u0645\u0646\u0630 \u0623\u0643\u062b\u0631 \u0645\u0646 \u0631\u0628\u0639 \u0642\u0631\u0646\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YZR3Qu2yc3c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Questions:<\/p>\n<p>1.
