The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

Hello there! This is Mr.Wong speaking. I hope you guys have an awesome weekend! Before we talk about the word of the day, here's a fun fact for ya:

Did you know that female fireflies can't fly? Male fireflies can fly, but female fireflies often can't because their wings are too short. The female firefly perches itself on a bush or a rock and waits. When a male passes by with a signal, the female recognizes, and flashes back the same signal. Ahah, so the next time you see fireflies flying around, there's a good chance that it's a male firelfy. Alright, today's word of the day is "bombard", let's check it out!
