Comments: 
His pronounciation had different accent compared with native English speakers, but I liked his way of speaking because he spoke strongly when he spoke words. On the other hand, he spoke weakly when he spoke auxiliary verbs and articles, so easy to catch words. Also the topic was interesting for me. I think this amount of article is the best for me to listen- not too short but not too long.
