我刚下夜班进家门,第一件事情就是兴奋地接着贴VOA--Tingfeng和Bill的语调对大家非常有帮助!而且因为看到文青的巨大进步,觉得给自己打了鸡血。下步我打算也按俺厨师的AAT着重练习语调了。

这几天又比较忙,但还是被大家鼓舞着。很佩服文青,一起学900句的这么多朋友们中,文青的进步是有目共睹的。不愧是当年的高考的文科状元啊。。

看到竹马(总觉得名字听起来像驸马:))京北又shows up,也很高兴,请竹马一起读!

今天贴出的VOA的录音的中间有两句话是对话,不在text中,请忽略掉。

谢谢大家的积极参与和支持!

This is the VOA Special English Technology Report.

Last week we reported on Microsoft Corporation’s Imagine Cup finals in the United States. Team FlashFood from Arizona State University won top honors at the event. Its mobile application and website lets hotels, restaurants and farmers markets donate food to people who need it.

The FlashFood project grew out of the Engineering Projects in Community Service program at Arizona State. The director of the program, Richard Filley, says the project has far-reaching possibilities. Mr. Filley plans to work with the team to decide what changes are necessary to make the project successful in other countries. For example, he notes a method of saving uneaten food, commonly called a doggie bag.
