Features: To help a wide range of English learners build a solid foundation for understanding foreign English news broadcasts, the editor has compiled this book. It is suitable for English majors in colleges and universities (including self-study undergraduate and associate degrees), journalism departments, other non-English majors, high school English talent students, as well as various English training courses, foreign-related personnel, and self-taught English learners. The editor has collected 16 slow-speed and 2 normal-speed VOA news broadcasts from VOA radio and compiled them into written materials based on the recordings. Each news piece is accompanied by a glossary, exercises, and answers. All news articles are numbered sequentially in the upper left corner. The numbering of each exercise in the upper left corner corresponds to the numbering of the news and the answers. Words in the text are italicized. The book is accompanied by 3 audio cassettes, all of which have very clear recordings.
