Why are short news stories a good way to learn English?

We believe reading short news articles is a very effective way to learn English because the articles use clear modern language and are interesting to read. The news sources we use are usually easy to follow and will introduce you to new vocabulary, expressions, and grammar structures.

How do I use the news articles?

Read the articles and find your level of English. Each article contains 3 levels of English starting from beginner English students to advanced. The format looks like this:

Highlighted words are words we feel need some explanation. We also explain grammar that we think you should be aware of. Sometimes we include links to related exercises on our website. You can click these and practice them to become more familiar.

After each news article you can find exercises that will help you practice the vocabulary and grammar you read in the article. There are also “true/false” exercises that will test your comprehension (how well you understood the news article).
