LISTEN TO THE NEW WORDS & NEW SENTENCES

Because of my occupation, I am interested in any important economic news, and so I watched the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2008 on TV on Saturday afternoon.

I was interested in the great opinions of the various national leaders and I could not help applauding when I heard the premier of Australia and the president of Kazakhstan speaking in Chinese.

So, today, I would like to present you with some new sentences on the topic of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2008 and hope it is a little help to you in learning Chinese
