求开头为“On October 19.1959 ，the first Special Englis

On October 19，1959，the first Special English program was broadcast on the Voice

of America．It was an experiment．The goal was to communicate by radio in clear

and simple English with people whose native language was not English．Experts

said the goal was admirable，but the method would not

work．However， ．The Special English programs quickly became

some of the most popular on VOA．And they still are．

Forty years later，Special

English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English．But

during the years its role has expanded．It also helps people learn

American-English．It succeeds in helping people learn English in a

non-traditional way．And it provides listeners, even those who are native

English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.

Today，Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week，five

times a day．Each half-hourly broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest

news followed by 20minutes of feature programming．There is a different short

feature every weekday about science，development，agriculture，and environment，and

on the weekends about news events and American idioms．These programs are

followed by in-depth(深入的)15 minutes features about American

culture，history，science，medicine，space，important people or short

stories．
