I usually get my news from the internet… and sometimes from radio, too… but I’m not very obsessed about getting news, though…

I’ve tried to subscript “The New York Time International version” in taiwan.
Since I live in a not big city(well,not a small town neither), they say it takes 2~3 days to deliver the newspaper to me.
so, I can never read “today’s newspaper” on paper.
And I think it would be faster to check the website and print out the news I’m interested in.That’s what I’m doing,now,everyday.
Howevery, I prefer to read the news on paper than through internet.
Because I don’t want to stare at computer screen again, after doing the same thing at work all day.

Hi ! I get my news reading the newspapers , from the Internet , from the news on TV and talking to a friend .
I have a friend who knows every political detail . So, I often like to listen to him . He is surprised when I say I know nothing about a certain event.
Of course I know something but I leave to him the pleasure to tell me . He is very happy to do this .

Regarding the news in fashion I read Burda , the German fashion magazine , monthly . It is translated in Romanian .
I like to be in fashion with the hair color , with the shoes , with the bag and I like to know which color is trendy . It is very important for a woman .

All the best for you all ,

Tania

Thank you Kobe, yes I am a lucky man having her along so many years and always feeling young despite quite a lot of Novembers.
Now I have a new life doing my chores than before I didn´t as I have to go out to the bank to get the money (working of course no
taking it off from banker´s hands) meanwhile Cuca has to do everything at home.
Now it´s my turn and Cuca can rest a little fighting everyday against her illness in good humor always.

Nice to know that you Danielle also read all books in English, I am not as craze as sometimes I thought doing such an effort
and having a lack of spanish books to read. Yes, it´s very nice to know you do the same and I´m sure you enjoy them very very much
despite the slowness.

bye, till soon.

Peter if you read a good book in English, that should be the best form of getting new words. Have in mind that when I said “a good book” it means
some of your interest. Easy to read and with enough interest to you has to going on reading it despite you have to look for new words in the
dictionary.
Three years ago I made a promise to me in the way of not reading a book in Spanish along some indefinable time, and just from them I have read
all the books in English, very slowly of course but with a strong determination of finishing them and not changing my promise.
I think this is the best form of getting new vocabulary day after day and remembering phrases that you may use when speaking the lenguage.
Yes, I know it´s difficult and sometimes you have to work a lot, even to people who likes to read is in some ways worst because you can´t read
by the speed you wanted, but you feel so well when you have finished the book you want to read that is incredible nice.
In my opinion this effort and this incredible BLOG, togeher with the ESL POD has made the miracle of encreasing my english level, after so
many years ( 40 ) studing it without real results.
As Jeff and Lucy said, read, read and read, listen to ESL Pod, see the guides to help the listening and improve knowledge, and write here as much
as possible, without any shy or trouble to write good or badly.
It´s always a good exercise to read again and see so many mistakes that you, me, and everybody made writing in other lenguage, as it´s one of the
most difficult things we can do.
The best way of learning in life everywhere/everything is having faults, mistakes and sorrows, that´s a rule always.

Now I have to make household (the bed, washing and brushing out the dust, preparing the food ..etc.) and listening Jeff and Lucy simultaneously
to my chores.
Yes, having them close to me help just a lot to pass the dayly house- routines in the mornings.

Hello! Everybody, this is Daniele from Italy.

Interesting question, and it is also interesting to read the aswers. I also get the news from online papers.

I do not see a bright future for print papers.

As a worker into the book printed industry, I am curious to see if the printed book will follow the same crisis.
You know, with devices like the E-readers.
Bye!

I am with Times , futurist, and economist. I used to read them almost every day, one page on average, but not anymore.

You know why?

Because I subscribed to the learning guide. Learning guide is effortless and fun,besides there is a money back guranty that you will be better off at the end.
