BBC's The Reading Group

Here's an interesting page on the BBC's website: the Reading Group.

The page brings together students & teachers, as they share their love of reading.

There's some text for you to read, and an audio file to practice your listening comprehension.


Reading is a great way to learn English.  It's a fantastic way to sharpen your grammar and learn new, interesting vocabulary.

However if you don't enjoy reading in your own language, don't do it in English.  You'll find it far too frustrating.  You can learn a lot of English by watching TV & movies etc.

Remember, the most important thing is that you enjoy your learning experience!
