Follow a news story


One of the best ways to improve your English is to start following an ongoing news story. Ongoing means continuing, so your story should be something important enough to be in the news for several weeks. Why is this a good idea? Here are some reasons:
1. If you choose something you're interested in, it will help you to keep following the story.
2. If you keep following the story, you'll learn a lot of new words, because they will be repeated and this way you'll really learn what they mean.
3. Important news stories are usually in many places at the same time: in the newspaper, online, on television and on the radio. So you have the opportunity to use any or all of these sources to follow your story.
So, what do you think is the most important story in the news right now, from your perspective?
