[VOA听写] 2008-04-10
欢迎来到“杂乱的书桌”每天准时为你带来的VOA听写，本期的慢速VOA是气候变化的新闻第二部分，标准VOA则是女性领导的新闻的第一部分。还犹豫什么，赶紧和Hugh一起加入到学习英语，锻炼听写的队伍中来吧！
今天的听写也都不难，标准VOA中的几个国家的名字应该记住，尤其是后面两个，Burma和UAE，可能更陌生一些。其实每天听写可能花不了太多时间，但是能坚持住还真没有那么容易，不知道你尝试过没有？有兴趣的时候听几次很容易，不过每天做同样的事情还是会有些郁闷，不过加油！

World Health Day marks the establishment of the World Health Organization on April 7,1948. One goal this year is to call for local and international partnerships that will seek to improve health through efforts to stablelize climate change. The W.H.O. says it aims to put public health at the Center of UN efforts on climate change. A major message of this World Health Day is that the health of poor people will be hurt the most. The W.H.O. says different areas of the world will experience different problems from climate change. But it says countries with high levels of poverty and underdevelopment will be the least prepared to deal with them.
