Fascinating reading!
Learning a foreign language (in our case, English) should a priori include familiarity with the periodicals of the country whose language we are learning. This helps to solve several problems:
- First of all, English newspapers and magazines often give much more "lively" speech than fiction. Even if the publication belongs to the official category, this does not mean that the turnovers in it are completely “refined”. Whatever your personal attitude to newspapers and magazines, but with the fact that Media perfectly demonstrates the current state of the language, you can't argue.
- Secondly, keep in mind that you are getting new information from the original source. That is, the text that you see in front of you has not yet been touched by the hand of a translator who is trying to adapt the original constructions for an inexperienced Russian-speaking reader.
- Thirdly, keep in mind that if you read English newspapers and magazines in the original, you will be able to analyze the view of foreign journalists on world events, which will help you get closer to understanding the mentality of people who speak the language you are interested in.
- Finally, fourthly, reading English-language media makes it possible to constantly replenish your.
Well, we hope we convinced you of the need reading newspapers in English.
Popular English-language periodicals
Perhaps this will surprise someone, but not only in the UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia newspapers are printed in English. You can meet similar publications in Russia. Of course, there are fewer of them, and they are adapted for perception by our compatriots, so it is still preferable to use newspapers and magazines from abroad.
Significant periodicals include the British newspaper. It contains everything your heart desires - from domestic national events to a qualitative overview of incidents in the world. This publication is interesting in that the presentation in it is often carried out using the famous subtle English humor. Such a detail brings a fair amount of zest to reading articles, but it can make it difficult for beginners to understand the text.
- the American analogue of the publication we are considering above. If you are interested in financial news, business and politics - you are welcome, this newspaper is just for you. As for the vocabulary, this periodical will please the typical American version of the English language in all its glory. However, the tendency of Americans to reduce grammatical structures can play a trick on newcomers: start reading The New York Times only after you begin to freely understand those parts of sentences that are deliberately omitted.
lovers of versatile topics will like it - there is a place for both politics and more neutral issues (both purely British and international). With regard to language turns, we note that most sentences are common, that is, the reader will have the opportunity to focus on full-length, rather than truncated structures.
is a British newspaper with a long history. By the way, this is one of the few publications that have retained their original poster size. As a source for learning English, The Daily Telegraph has a wide range of topics to offer, ranging from serious political topics to more frivolous topics such as pop culture. However, in both cases, you are given the opportunity to enjoy high-quality British English.
Another English newspaper that is replete with information of all kinds is this. You will find here the latest news of politics, business, science, culture, art, technology, education, healthcare and so on. As for grammatical structures, there are both short sentences, which will be easy for a beginner to understand, as well as complex long constructions - you will have to sweat over their translation.
We recommend to those who like to read about political issues. The lion's share of information is national in nature, but much attention is paid to world news. If you are just starting your acquaintance with the English-language press, this publication should benefit you. First of all, this goal is served by the direct word order in grammatical constructions, as well as not too lengthy sentences in which there is no overabundance of introductory words.
Summing up
Well, if you set out to get to know English newspapers and magazines better, it will be quite simple to do this. At your service are many periodicals, among which are both quite complex and quite understandable even to a "green" beginner.
