This is a great website where you can download plenty of audiobooks by various writers who are in the public domain i.e. are no longer subjected to the copyright.
From what I have listened to I can recommend for example The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, books by Jack London or Cretien de Troy´s Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart

Re: audiobboks
Tohle není zcela to, co jsem měl na mysli. Měla to být zajímavost O ANGLICKÉM JAZYKU. Jako např. jak je to starý jazyk, odkud pochází, jak se vyvinulo nějaké slovo, jaké je nejdelší slovo, jaké je nejčastější slovo, jaké je nejčastější písmeno atd atd.
Protože jsi první, můžeš napsat ještě jeden, bude se pak počítat ten.

To je zase nápad!
Až teď mi došlo, že se to píše do komentářů, jdu se pídit.
Proboha, a jak to budete losovat? To je mi novinka a já si říkala, že je
čas. Tahle kniha by se v mé knihovničce líbila

There are some words in English that are pretty old. Can you guess how old?
Take a deep breath…well…the oldest words in English are said to be......14000 years old!!!
Experts say their roots are in pre-Indo-European language group called Nostratic, which means „our language“.
There are for example
„apple“ (apal)
„bad“ (bad)
„gold“ (gol)
„tin“ (tin)
among these words.
I have found it quite interesting. Have you ?

Well done. 
Něco takového jsem měl na mysli. Může to samozřejmě být i kratší.

Soft Power
SOFT POWER
There is an interesting word I have recently come acros listening to BBC podcasts. I sort of became interested in it and I dug out more information about it for you.
Nye was the one who coined this term. It is used as an atribute for a country with an economical and international influence.
As I understand it, the soft power is the ability of a country to make the impact through peaceful cultural or perhaps economical attraction as opposed to hard power which is more about coercing and military activity.
China has recently been seriously threteaning the U.S. as the number one soft
power in the world.
China is technologically very fast developing and showing the world that the
future belongs to this Asian country.
