Most major news stories continue for more than one day. Some like the upheavals in Yugoslavia and Indonesia, for example may continue for years. At first these stories may seem difficult, but they will become much easier and more interesting as you become familiar with them. You will quickly notice, for example, that certain key words are repeated almost every day, making them easy to learn and difficult to forget. Read news stories even if you are not especially interested in the news.
News stories are by far the easiest to read because of their unique style.
Read certain columns regularly. Many of our readers follow Post Bag every day, for example. For longer stories, first look to see how they are organised. Features, for example, usually have several distinct parts. We also have a complete range of books designed especially for those of you who want to improve your English by yourselves.
