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.
我一期不漏地听完了一遍美国之音慢速英语的“帝国的建立”(哈哈,这样翻是不是更符合事实一点儿?)系列。这个栏目每周三播出,一个周期历时近五年,内容涵盖自哥伦布发现新大陆至今的重要文化、人物,风土人情,当然最主要的是政治军事等历史。回头看,我个人从中受益良多。今天是这个节目新的“轮回”的第一天,推荐给大家,尤其是给象我一样英语起点较低、对美国(及西方)的人文历史了解有限的朋友。地址在:http://learningenglish.voanews.com/content/columbus-new-world-leif-erickson/1506901.html
