5 websites for reading articles; 1. The Gordian 2. BBC (work section) 3. The New Yorker 4. The Medium 5. The longread

[@cameoncd5456]

thanks

[@giacomo807]

i personally recommend the following daily homework: 1 article of the Guardian + 1 Hour of LBC radio station and 1 chapter of a book with audible (Reading&listening at the same time).

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Nice idea 👍

[@JanetSuzanne]

I’m an English teacher like you, Ben, and these were really helpful! I’ve never heard of Medium or Longreads so I’ll check those ones out too!

[@LorenaLunaprof]

Great tips! I am a Brazilian English teacher and an English learner as well, and I love your videos!

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

These are all great suggestions! Another one I like to recommend to my students is Roads & Kingdoms, especially the culture-focused articles. Sometimes my students like to read about their native countries in English.

[@patrickaldair6527]

Hi Ben, I still remember when I saw some of your videos days before my B2/FCE exam (2021), now I've just been given positive results of my C1/EXAM. Your videos and your teaching methods have been of paramount importance in order to succeed in both exams. Thank you, I'm eternally grateful.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's great, Patrick! Congratulations on your exam results!

[@angelicasouza5376]

Great job Ben, thank you! I like The Conversation as well I think it’s very interesting.

[@edilsonluizpereira2421]

Thanks for the recommendations! I am taking a preparatoty course and I'm sure these recommendations will help me a lot.

[@doinabanu9860]

Thank you for the recommendations! Longreads seems to be very interesting! I like to read articles on the Australian broadcaster ABC. There is a large range of topics, from politics, health, environement to agriculture, trades...Moreover , they use lots of idioms. I also like to read natives' comments to the articles.

[@zsofiasemjen4017]

Hello Ben, Thx a lot for your recommendations. They may be predictable but with your explanation they are even more worth reading. Longread is new for me. Thx.

[@isaactelleria3301]

[@nelliedemshina7874]

Hello, Ben! Many thanks for your new useful video. BBC is my love forever without a doubt. I read The New Yorker (maybe because I have some really close friends there) I also read National Geographic And I think I'll add The Guardians into my list. Thank you Good luck with your incredible work

[@oreodreams3407]

Thank you so much! A lot of useful resources. My personal favourite is the Naked Scientists. I always spot new words and expressions there that are used in the exam texts and it's much easier to learn (or learning???) them in context. Can you, please, make a video on the difference between the verbs followed by to/ing? I know that some just need to be memorized, but some can use both with a difference in meaning, for example, try to do, try doing, like to do, like doing etc.,so you need to understand the context of the whole situation. Thank you 💕

[@rafaelrodrigues1978]

Hey you Ben... It's my firt time here and I can already say I loved this video. Next year I'm trying the B2/FCE. I hope your chanel can help me to develop more and more my skills for the exam.

[@tylerkwong4947]

I agree with Ben that articles from the Guardian, especially those from the Opinion section, are good quality. I usually read an article or two when I am on a bus to kill time. Those writers are fairly distinctive and use a spectrum of expressions and analogies in their writing. However, they are sometimes over stylized. I do understand this helps the articles stand out, though. So in terms of learning how to write better, I shouldn't have complained. 🤣

[@slangyrussianwords5972]

I like aeon, New Scientist, The Economist as well. The last one especially for audio edition which I believe is handy for English learners to pronounce words correctly

Dear Ben, thank you for useful sources. The thing is that I find myself preoccupied with the quote which is usually attributed to Socrates: " 'The more I know, the more I realize I know nothing" ☹ And at times the realization is somewhat overwhelming to the point of discouragement (imposter syndrome:). But despite all these, I refuse to give up🙃✊

I used to read loads of books but now I just read things related to sport( basket,cycling,football,boxing,athletics) and every once in a while some other news lol

[@nastya3280]

Ben, can you give advice on how to read books? When I begin a new book, I read it the same way as articles: highlight new words, collocations, check their meaning etc. But it takes a very long time to get to at least page 50. And then I feel like I have read nothing. And the words I highlighted I don't really use in either my speech or writing. How should I read books in that case? Thank you in advance❤

[@lemaraborohovich3234]

Good morning! Awesome question 👏

[@GEM2274]

It's exactly the same for me!!!😀

[@janaspulakova6813]

Hello. I love reading books. The thing is that if I read something by an author I don't know I usually translate, let's say, about 10 pages. After that I don' need the dictioary or just occassionally. So maybe you could try an easier level or read a couple of books by the same writer. Then it should be better.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's one of the reasons I recommend reading articles and short stories... at least for a while. Also, you need to be selective about the vocabulary you choose to learn/remember. You can't learn every word in the English language and some words/expressions are more useful than others.

Good job Ben! Very often I see the word FEATURE in the pages of a newspaper or magazine. What does it exactly mean?

[@Meg-bj4rq]

It depends on the context, but generally means characteristic or attribute.

In this context, it's simply a long article dedicated to a particular topic
