Which newspaper articles should you read?

Hi

Most of you have probably been told that you should read newspaper and magazine articles as part of your IELTS preparation, but do you know which articles you should be  reading?

Well, a good place to start are articles related to topics that commonly occur in the IELTS test.

Two common IELTS topics are culture and tradition, and communication (i.e. language, communications technology and the media).

To get you started, here’s a link to an interesting article that has appeared in the news over the last few days.  It’s about the death of the language and culture of the Bo tribe (a race of people from the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean).

Andaman Islands’ Bo tribe and language dies

If you read the article, you can find out how the tribe disappeared and how the last tribeswoman felt being the only person alive who could speak her language.

Check it out.
