thanks

These are all great suggestions! Another one I like to recommend to my students is Roads & Kingdoms, especially the culture-focused articles. Sometimes my students like to read about their native countries in English.

I’m an English teacher like you, Ben, and these were really helpful! I’ve never heard of Medium or Longreads so I’ll check those ones out too!

Great tips! I am a Brazilian English teacher and an English learner as well, and I love your videos!

i personally recommend the following daily homework: 1 article of the Guardian + 1 Hour of LBC radio station and 1 chapter of a book with audible (Reading&listening at the same time).

Nice idea 👍

Thank you for the recommendations! Longreads seems to be very interesting! I like to read articles on the Australian broadcaster ABC. There is a large range of topics, from politics, health, environement to agriculture, trades...Moreover , they use lots of idioms. I also like to read natives' comments to the articles.

Thanks for the recommendations! I am taking a preparatoty course and I'm sure these recommendations will help me a lot.

Great job Ben, thank you! I like The Conversation as well I think it’s very interesting.

Hello Ben, Thx a lot for your recommendations. They may be predictable but with your explanation they are even more worth reading. Longread is new for me. Thx.

Hi Ben, I still remember when I saw some of your videos days before my B2/FCE exam (2021), now I've just been given positive results of my C1/EXAM. Your videos and your teaching methods have been of paramount importance in order to succeed in both exams. Thank you, I'm eternally grateful.

That's great, Patrick! Congratulations on your exam results!

Thank you I am a learning English and I think this is very useful to improve my vocabulary.

Thank you so much! A lot of useful resources. My personal favourite is the Naked Scientists. I always spot new words and expressions there that are used in the exam texts and it's much easier to learn (or learning???) them in context. Can you, please, make a video on the difference between the verbs followed by to/ing? I know that some just need to be memorized, but some can use both with a difference in meaning, for example, try to do, try doing, like to do, like doing etc.,so you need to understand the context of the whole situation. Thank you 💕

Thank you Ben, I get some task from the college to analysis english article. And yeah, your chanel come up first

Hello, Ben! Many thanks for your new useful video. BBC is my love forever without a doubt. I read The New Yorker (maybe because I have some really close friends there) I also read National Geographic And I think I'll add The Guardians into my list. Thank you Good luck with your incredible work

Hi Ben. Many thanks for sharing. REgards from LIma-Perú. Stay safe! 🙂

It will be helpful in my process of learning english, thank your so much. I've been trying to fix some mistakes i make while i speak

Super recommendations. This will improve my English skills 👍🏻 thank you

Hey you Ben... It's my firt time here and I can already say I loved this video. Next year I'm trying the B2/FCE. I hope your chanel can help me to develop more and more my skills for the exam.

I agree with Ben that articles from the Guardian, especially those from the Opinion section, are good quality. I usually read an article or two when I am on a bus to kill time. Those writers are fairly distinctive and use a spectrum of expressions and analogies in their writing. However, they are sometimes over stylized. I do understand this helps the articles stand out, though. So in terms of learning how to write better, I shouldn't have complained. 🤣

Ben , thank you for your videos ! They are very usefull for studying English !It s only 2 years of channel as i understood , so sure you will be more popular in the future !

Dear Ben, thank you for useful sources. The thing is that I find myself preoccupied with the quote which is usually attributed to Socrates: " 'The more I know, the more I realize I know nothing" ☹ And at times the realization is somewhat overwhelming to the point of discouragement (imposter syndrome:). But despite all these, I refuse to give up🙃✊

Ben, can you give advice on how to read books? When I begin a new book, I read it the same way as articles: highlight new words, collocations, check their meaning etc. But it takes a very long time to get to at least page 50. And then I feel like I have read nothing. And the words I highlighted I don't really use in either my speech or writing. How should I read books in that case? Thank you in advance❤

Hello. I love reading books. The thing is that if I read something by an author I don't know I usually translate, let's say, about 10 pages. After that I don' need the dictioary or just occassionally. So maybe you could try an easier level or read a couple of books by the same writer. Then it should be better.

@tothepointenglishwithben.

Жыл бұрын

That's one of the reasons I recommend reading articles and short stories... at least for a while. Also, you need to be selective about the vocabulary you choose to learn/remember. You can't learn every word in the English language and some words/expressions are more useful than others.
