Spotlight 2021 Nr.9 - Magazin for Learning English

Spotlight magazine helps you to improve your English and keeps you up to date on what’s happening in the English speaking world.

This magazine has two parts. The first has news stories, travel reports, columns and interviews, some with exercises. Part two is the language section, in which useful vocabulary and grammar are explained. Many of these pages include exercises.
British spelling and punctuation are used in all texts except those marked as being in US English with this symbol: US

Every text has been written or adapted to one of three language levels.

The levels are:
EASY MEDIUM ADVANCED
A2     B1–B2    C1–C2
These correspond to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The level is given at the top of the page. This text, for example, is Easy (see above). Choose texts at your level of English or try difficult ones that challenge you.

Difficult words and phrases are underlined, and the German translations of these words are given in a list on each page. Words that are hard to pronounce come with phonetic symbols. After some of these words, you’ll find a US tag, indicating that the word is used mainly in the United States. Words marked with a N. Am. tag are used in both the United States and Canada.
