学习心得：
It's my first day I began with this course. I was a little bit depressed by finding out that hardly could I understand what the news meant when I was listening for the first, sometimes even for the second time. After I finished the first task--marking down what I have heard--I found it even harder for me to translate it into Chinese. There were so many names, places and economical,political terms that I had never met before. Luckily the Internet was available, or maybe I would never finish my task. This made me realize that, in order to understand what I am listening to, I should pay more attention to accumulating new words that are not so familiar in our daily life. What's more, I knew so little about what's happening in the world.

BBC News with Joe Macintoch.

Sogea Belascony who has won Italy's general election has he feels great responsibility that warns of difficult months ahead.The center right leaders first public comments since his rival Alter Dotreny Oflemeted defeat came in a telephone call to a talk show on RAI television. From Rome, David Willy reports.

He declared he's willing to push through the forms with the help of the opposition. Mr. Belascony plans of slimed down cabinet, owning 12 ministers including 4 women,thus fulfilling one of his election promises. Despite having won a governing majority in both houses of parliment, analysts predict that his freedom party coalision would have to pay more than lip service this time to the demands of the Northern League which won significant gains in the election results declared so far. In the past power-sharing arrangements, the Northern League has often been an uncomfortable bit fellow.

The United States is making 200 million dollars available for emergency aid to alleviate food shortages in Africa and in other parts of the world. The White House said the money would be used to meet unaniticipated needs for food aid. Rising food prices have already led to violent demonstrations in Haiti and warnings of potential unrest elsewhere. David Bamford reports.

最近因为学习比较繁忙，所以只能够每天听写和翻译大概一分钟的ＢＢＣ。而且因为背景知识的匮乏，翻译起来十分困难。有很多句子，尤其是长句觉得翻译得十分拗口。但是也感觉到自己有点点进步，表现在现在听完一分钟所需的时间似乎少了点，不知道是新闻的难度下降了还是自己听力提高了。觉得每天都要坚持，无论多忙都要坚持听下来。至于把中文译回英文，一直都没有做。我会找时间补上的。

津巴布韦的选举阵地转变为局部的选票覆算。选举委员会仍未公布上月总统选举的结果。反对派民主变革运动党声称获得议会投票的选举胜利。但是这次涉及23个选区的局部覆算有可能扭转目前民主变革运动党的局面。一些政治观察员认为，目前任职的罗伯特•穆加贝会努力操纵选举结果以获得连任。反对派摩根•茨瓦尔伊声称他彻底地赢了选举。茨瓦尔伊的所在党声称，覆算是不合法的，但是在周五一位法官否决了阻止覆算的行动。
