It‘ｓ for your practice of listening and reading. Repeat after me without reading げんき１, even if you have the textbook. I speak a little faster the second time.

بَلَّش عَصْر الإِنْتَرْنِت بِوَقْت الحَرْب البَارْدِة بَين رُوسْيَا وأَمْرِيكَا.
طَبعًا بَلّش بِالجَيش الأَمْرِيكِي بِالسِّتِينَات أو السَبْعِينَات
بعدين بالتْمَانِينَات صَار مَسْمُوح بَين النَاس وبِالتِسْعِينَات إِنْتَشَر كْتِير.
هلأ صار الإِنْتَرْنِت كْتِير مُهِم بِحَيَاتْنَا، وبَعْد كُورُونَا صِرْنَا نِسْتَخْدِمُه مْشَان الشِغِل.
