Time

Hello!

"Time" is what I always want to read and to understand. I have been trying to read it serveral weeks. However, there are so many words I have never seen before. So, I do highlight them, I check them out from my E.D. Since there are too many, I am tried...But I really don't want to give it up. Anybody has any idea for me to keep reading it?

Thanks a lot

Lynn

Time and Newsweek are good sources of standard current journalistic American English. The vocabulary is neither too erudite nor simplistic, and the idioms are generally current, well-known and useful. If you wish to change to BrE, you might try The Economist .

  • Time and Newsweek are good sources of standard current journalistic American English.
  • The vocabulary is neither too erudite nor simplistic, and the idioms are generally current, well-known and useful.
  • If you wish to change to BrE, you might try The Economist .
  • The content of all of these is primarily current affairs (with the last weighted heavily toward business), and are good sources of acceptable, standard English.
  • I recommend that you continue unless they are too far above your present level; if that is the case, try a local English-language newspaper, which will be kinder to you.
