I have followed The VOA Special English Program and listened to each single clip of its The Making of a Nation series for a full cycle. It lasted almost 5 years, and today is the first day of its new cycle. Even though the benefit didn't show from day to day, when I looked back, I was surprised at how much I have learned from it.
我一期不漏地聽完了一遍美國之音慢速英語的“帝國的建立”(哈哈,這樣翻是不是更符合事實一點兒?)係列。這個欄目每周三播出,一個周期曆時近五年,內容涵蓋自哥倫布發現新大陸至今的重要文化、人物,風土人情,當然最主要的是政治軍事等曆史。回頭看,我個人從中受益良多。今天是這個節目新的“輪回”的第一天,推薦給大家,尤其是給象我一樣英語起點較低、對美國(及西方)的人文曆史了解有限的朋友。地址在:http://learningenglish.voanews.com/content/columbus-new-world-leif-erickson/1506901.html
