You know I practise listening every day.But sometimes I can't get the meaning of the voa listening clearly. Can you give me some advice.Thank you very much.
Perhaps if you have access to the right equipment, you could make a recording of the VOA broadcasts, and then listen to them several times until it makes sense to you. When you are using an acronym such as VOA for Voice of America, you should either use all capitals: VOA; or use periods after each letter to indicate that it is an abbreviated form: v.o.a. People who are not native speakers of English might not understand, and might think voa is a word with which they are unfamiliar.

Or they may not be Americans, and therefore have never heard of the Voice of America!
