The Economist Espresso
APP
The Economist must not need to introduce too much here. Today I want to recommend a mobile app with the name suffix E0spressE0spresso. It is a good interpretation-as an app, The Economist Espresso is more like a morning news newspaper, recommending 5 essential articles for you every morning of the working day (non-paid subscribers can only read one) , Trying to be as important as the espresso in the morning. The essence of the article on
Espresso is concise and powerful, informative, and very readable, it is highly recommended. You can visit the Economist's official website www.economist.com for more information. Everyone should know the concept of
English audiobook (Audiobook)
www.audible.com
audiobook, it mainly refers to books and works recorded in audio format. Many English classics and bestsellers have released audiobook versions accordingly, such as Inferno, The Kite Runner, Hunger Games, etc. Every issue of The Economist's word-for-word audio is also a type of audio book. Different from the monotonous machine reading, the readers of English audiobooks are mostly professional announcers or actors. They have beautiful voice and strong expressive power when reading aloud. Many novels are enhanced by the interpretation of the readers.
Generally speaking, there are two types of audiobooks: social sciences and literature. You can choose the subjects you are interested in for extensive listening. More audio books can be listened to and purchased on Amazon's website: www.audible.com. In addition to the tools mentioned above,
should also be good at using search and make good use of Google and Wikipedia. The tools are refined but not too many. Using any tool to the extreme can bring huge benefits.
