저도 영어 공부만 약 20년 이상을 한 것 같군요.
중학교 영어, 고등학교 영어, 대학교 영어, 공무원 영어, 고시 영어,
그리고 무역영어, 비즈니스 영어, 생활영어, 모 유명학원 영어 등등
수도 없이 공부해 보면서 제 스스로 내린 결론은 국어처럼 영어도 일단은 듣기부터 해야된다는 것이죠.(다들 아는 내용들 이시죠 ^^a;;)
그런데 청취 공부를 해보려고 하는데 각종 영어사이트마다 회원가입하라고 난리들이고
괜찮은 내용 보고 들으려면 돈내라고 귀찮게(?) 많이 하지요.
제가 최근에 찾은 건데요.
무료로 청취도 가능하고 본문도 볼 수 있는 곳입니다.

많이 방문하시고 영어공부에 도움이 되시길 바랍니다.
근데 경제쪽으로는 별로 내용이 없어서 조금은 아쉬운 사이트임
그리고 오늘 자 지구 온난화 관련한 한 기사를 올려봅니다.
해석은 개인적으로 해보시는 것이 좋을 것 같습니다.
내용은 지구온난화 문제가 심각하니 얼른 조치를 취하는 것이 좋겠다는
기상학자들의 청원내용이 주를 이룬다는 내용이죠...(해석해보시고 틀리면 리플
달아주세요..)
Climate Scientists Urge Fast Action on Global Warming Bali 06 December 2007
More than 200 of the world's leading climate scientists signed a petition calling for negotiators in
The declaration released Thursday at the U.N. Climate Change Conference urges governments to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2050.
Most scientists say greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide, which end up in the earth's atmosphere, are contributing to a rise in global temperatures.
About 215 climate experts signed the document, which was drafted over the last four months. Other groups of scientists such as the Nobel-prize winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, have released key statements on the science of climate change.
Professor Matthew England from the
"It's delivering a clear message," he said. "It's only four or five paragraphs long, it's got the weight of the scientific community behind it, and hopefully it's going to help the negotiators here in the next few weeks in Bali remember what the climate scientists are saying."
Richard Somerville of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography is careful to point out that the scientists' recommendations are based on predictions using the best available data.
"There isn't a magic number," he noted, "just as there's no magic cholesterol number that your physician can give you below which you're safe and above which you're going to have a heart attack. It's simply a risk factor. And it's our judgment, and that of the signatories that the targets we've outlined are the ones needed to keep that risk within reasonable bounds."
U.N. climate chief Yvo de Boer says it is not clear how much weight the scientists' recommendations will have during the negotiations, but stresses that discussion at the conference is centered on science-based reports such as the one released earlier by the IPCC.
"I think probably this process that's most strongly science driven," he said. "I mean you see the decision to begin negotiating the Kyoto Protocol was based on a report of the IPCC and that's why I hope that we can use the current report of the IPCC as the engine behind the next phase of negotiations."
The petition says if governments are able to ensure greenhouse gas emissions peak and decline within the next 15 years, the world will have a 50 percent chance of keeping temperatures from rising two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
About 190 countries taking part in the climate change conference this week in
오늘 외울 한마디 문장
What took you so long? ( 왜 이리 늦었어?)
영화보면 진짜 자주 나오는 표현임. ㅋㅋ
