The Q – a British music magazine, full of the real-life-phrases and the perfect writing, besides the news, of course.
I pay my attention to a short (half an A4 page) article about Jason Pierce, a leader of Spiritualized. You find a critical overview of his career, always going hand in hand with drugs.
I picked some vocabulary up.
• On the intimate terms
• Intimate details
• Intimate connection
• It’s apparent that
• It’s apparent from smth. that
• It’s apparent to smb. that
• For no apparent reason
Moreover I did some tasks from my Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English CD, which meant taking trail-IELTS. The tasks were following:
• Read and fill in the missing words.(1 text -2 tasks “An Unusual Partnership”)
• “Read the sentences, which all describe a change, and they all use the word increase. In each case, an adjective comes before increase to describe how something has gone up. The letters of these adjectives have been mixed up. Unscramble the letters make the adjectives. Type the whole word in the gap.”(10 sentences.)
• Read the information from a booklet about a college. You have to choose one sentence from two with the same meaning as in a booklet. (12 pairs of answers.)
• “Decide which word is the best one to fill the gaps in these 18 sentences.” Theme: Education in England.
It isn't very nice of me saying, that except for the 2nd task, I had 90 or 100% of the right answers.
I also took some Listening comprehension tasks for the advanced learners. You hear people in different situations and decide what it was all about.
