about the BBC: it is very clear (thanks to the there is no interference and so your tonations
there is no need to mention the name of any broadcaster because we know exactly which one of you is speaking by your voice. Another good point:
your programmes are condensed. They do not waste listeners' time. Because this country is now facing a famine, we cannot afford to hear dragging stories. For the younger people, if they want to hear music they can listen from cassettes; if they want films or plays they had better look at the TV. The timing of the BBC dawn programme is excellent; you can hear the news and a talk while having breakfast. Nobody has time to wake up at 5.30 am to listen to the long programme of VOA which lasts till 6.30 am. Who can afford to have the time to listen to programmes like that three times a day?

Of course,
he must be a Northerner. He has an accent of Hanoi in the past. Hanoi is still there, but gone are the people of Hanoi as well as the language of Hanoi.
Now I should talk about two female voices of the BBC - Hong Lien and Tuong Vi. I have a very funny idea. Their voices are a mixture of a kind of fish sauce that we only have at home not in the world outside. A kind of fish sauce with lemon, garlic, chili, sugar. How tasty, how beautiful. In short, it is the voice of the native land - more precious since it comes from London, thousands of miles away.
