G'day mate, what're you up to? Nothing special? If so, then let's get the most out of various free sources for English learning. So, today I'd like to talk about this.
In particular, "The Economist this week" - a free mail magazine sent to your email box - is one of my recommendations. Of course, I wanna introduce more to you guys, but since I've infatuated with the Economist two decades ago, this is just an amazing British English magazine. If you purchase this at a bookstore, then it's not free, but if you just wanna read some excerpts or summaries of this magazine, then what you should do is to go to the online official page to register one of the mail magazine subscriptions. I do believe they are all free of charge, which means that you are gonna receive them automatically and periodically, depending upon a type of mail magazines.
The above image is a piece of examples, which is a mail magazine sent to me this morning. Usually, Editor-In-Chief at the Economist writes a summation of the latest edition of the Economist. As you can see, although the words she uses seem to be a bit difficult or sophisticated, the sentence structures are not so complicated in terms of grammar-wise, right? If you've already acquired the basic knowledge of English grammar and etymology, then you should be alright.
One of the things I wanna underscore is simplicity itself. Despite the Economist having both simplicity and complexity in relation to the use of vocabulary and contents themselves, this is by far the most elegant magazine out there. In my opinion, reading just a summary of the magazine via periodical mail magazines encompasses excellent English sentences that are beneficial for English learners. Grasping the gist of current affairs comprising a wide range of topics can be effectively achieved by subscribing to mail magazines and reading them all. Ideally, reading them aloud is the best of the best method for those who wanna polish English pronunciation and vocabulary as well.
Like the above image, it's got an image, heading and a few words of the beginning of the article. This is actually enough for us to be able to get the hang of what the article is about. I mean, you can get your head round some implications of what sorts of messages the article wanted to convey to the reader, right? This is so short and simple that you don't have to spend much time, and you can easily read them all. For me, that's just sufficient to be able to not just understand the articles' contents but also practise my English like testing my comprehension skills.
If you're interested, then go for subscribing to the mail magazines. I always enjoy reading them.
Thanks for reading my blog. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.
