A magazine I recently read is called BBC News. I discovered it from social media on a YouTube channel called IELTS Advantage. I actually use it to improve my vocabulary for the IELTS test that I have to give by the end of the month. Anyhow in the past I didn’t really like reading because I found it boring. I would mostly judge people for it but now that I’ve started it’s more beneficial to me and I understand why people read magazines. Now let me tell you about the BBC News website in a bit more detail. What I do is I search up the website and then I go to the magazine section and then I find a topic related to us like technology, education, environment or topics that I have an interest I do this for 30 minutes every day and I write it in my notebook which has all the vocabulary that I’ve learned. In my opinion this has helped me a lot and I feel like it’s gonna help me even more in the future. I would like to listen to longer. I would like to read longer ones.

A magazine I recently read is called BBC News. I discovered it from social media on a YouTube channel called IELTS Advantage. I actually use it to improve my vocabulary for the IELTS test that I have to take by the end of the month. In the past, I didn't really like reading because I found it boring. I would mostly judge people for it, but now that I've started, it's more beneficial to me, and I understand why people read magazines. Now let me tell you about the BBC News website in a bit more detail. What I do is search for the website, then I go to the magazine section, and I find a topic related to areas like technology, education, or the environment—topics that I have an interest in. I do this for 30 minutes every day and write in my notebook, which has all the vocabulary that I've learned. In my opinion, this has helped me a lot, and I feel like it's going to help me even more in the future. I would like to listen to longer articles. I would like to read longer ones.
