BBC Standards Seem To Be Slipping A Little
Like most Americans, I never really paid attention to the BBC. Since coming to China though, it has become one of my main sources of information. Are their standards slipping or have they always been a little shoddy? I would think that, in these difficult economic times, there must be a few writers available who could put together clearer sentences.
Reading a report on the effects of a typhoon which hit Taiwan, I discovered that:
“Rescue efforts have been complicated as many of the roads leading to Shiao Lin have been washed away and the unstable ground makes it difficult for rescue helicopters to reach the area.”
Maybe someone should be sent back to flight school. Journalism school isn’t a bad idea either.

那个句子有什么错误吗?我怎么看不出来?
那个句子说因为土地不稳定,所以直升飞机不回去救人。
嗯,这下明白了。
我每天来这儿(通过自由门软件)练习英文阅读能力,你写得很风趣,可让人寓教于乐。
希望看到更多的新内容,现在只有八页,我都舍不得往完看了呢,每天只看一小部分。
谢谢!
