good to hear you go with it -
not only we have some coincidence in choosing articles from voa but also we have some common ideas on English learning.
Moreover, I am also thinking recently about what materials to choose to follow in enhancing reading skills. As some friends pointed out, voa seems having a little man-made tastes and I wonder the more the immitation the more I might have in daily conversation such tastes. Fortunately I am only starting several articles and it is not to the time that this imitation can affect my daily conversation obviously. (although i do hope it has already, as that would show that I really get sth from reading it. However, I should pay attention to that.
