As you can see, running under the Bridge of Sighs in Oxford is a bit drier than it would be if you tried it next week in Venice. The race demanded constant map reading and decision making, especially in working out how to get in and out of the colleges…. Running to catch up — 2006-09-06 After a period of silence its time to try to catch up. There have been all sorts of things I have been meaning to write about, but just never seemed to get round to. The moral is to do it little and often, rather than trying to write carefully crafted pieces as you would elsewhere. We went along to one of the qualifying days just to get a feel for what the World Championships of another sport a….
Новости структурированы, написаны в строгом информационном стиле. Для изучающих язык такая подача помогает понять суть события и без словаря, а также изучить массу полезных выражений.

Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения.

Jung Chang I had brought eight international writers together under the heading Migrations of the Mind to explore the challenges of taking stories between cultures. Each writer exemplified the problems of a world increasingly built out of small and mobile communities. Yet as soon as they were put together on stage at the ICA, most of the participants fiercely refused to define themselves either culturally or nationally. Whether Chinese or Turkish, Moroccan or Northern Irish, they saw themselves purely as writers, compelled to tell certain stories not because they were representatives of their communities, but because they were compelled to write, full stop. One by one they queued up to challenge the premise of my event — but in doing so they brought out a quite different, and far more interesting problem.

Пока не поступало сообщений о сколько-нибудь серьезно пострадавших в аварии. Это происшествие, четвертое по числу столкнувшихся транспортных средств за последний месяц, произошло как раз накануне первой Национальной Конференции по использованию дорог. На церемонии открытия прошлым вечером в Лондоне сэр Джон Стоун, советник по дорожному движению области Метрополитэн, раскритиковал стандарты дорожного движения страны. Он сказал, что очевидным стало то, что британские водители еще должны выучить многие из основных правил дорожного движения. Дорожная дисциплина в стране намного хуже чем в Америке, и особенно опасна манера водителей обгонять. Начинать обгон без соответствующего сигнала слишком опасно, и у водителей наблюдается настолько же рискованная тенденция вклиниваться в ряд после обгона. Однако, пожалуй, самой распространенной формой нарушения явилось нежелание водителей частных автомобилей сворачивать на внутреннюю полосу движения, если имеется такая возможность. Сэр Джон сказал, что слишком многие вынуждены оставаться на средней или даже на внешней полосе, несмотря на состояние дорожного движения, следствием чего является нетерпение водителей, намеревающихся обогнать и пытающихся встать слишком близко вслед впереди стоящему транспортному средству, тем самым увеличивая вероятность аварии. Конференция продолжается. А теперь о переговорах стран Общего рынка. Мистер Джеффри Риппон, ответственный за проведение переговоров, прошлой ночью вылетел в Брюссель. Предполагается, что целью его поездки является попытка уменьшить разногласия между нашей страной и Европейским Экономическим Сообществом по поводу доли Британии в бюджете Сообщества. Появились признаки того, что некоторые европейские лидеры едва ли принимают нынешнее предложение Британии всерьез, и в Уайтхолле осознают то, что главная задача мистера Риппона в настоящий момент — сделать ясным для Шестерки, что в самой стране предложение считают разумным и реалистичным.
