Слоган одного из них — News, sport, celebrities and gossip — точно отражает суть таких газет. Не стоит искать там серьезных новостей, аналитики и статей об искусстве. Что там есть, так это легкий и живой язык с многочисленными фразеологизмами и даже сленгом, подробности скандалов из мира политики и шоу-бизнеса, слухи из жизни британской королевской семьи. Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения. Есть даже раздел о России. Все статьи — довольно объемные и перенасыщены фотографиями, видео и виджетами соцсетей, но каждую предваряет анонс из списка коротких и понятных фраз, описывающих суть и самые эффектные факты материала. Euronews О событиях в странах Евросоюза можно почитать на сайте телеканала Euronews. Статьи и видеосюжеты рассортированы по традиционным новостным разделам Europe, World, Business, Sport, Culture. Под видеосюжетами есть расшифровки. У немецкой радиостанции Deuche Welle есть сайт на английском языке. В проект Locals входят 9 англоязычных сайтов, каждый из которых освещает события в соответствующей европейской стране. Если интересует конкретная страна, то можно пойти в Википедию, найти раздел СМИ страна и выбрать из списка газет и изданий то, которое больше понравится. Например, для Ирландии эта страничка выглядит вот так. А если при чтении зарубежных газет будет не хватать новостей о России, загляните на англоязычные версии российских СМИ. Небольшой минус — большинство статей написаны не носителями языка, а представляют собой перевод с русского. Но это не значит, что такие статьи не интересны изучающим английский — есть чему поучиться. На Puzzle English мы регулярно делаем подкасты, разборы новостных заметок и ТВ-шоу. Учите английский вместе с нами и чтение газет на английском не будет для вас проблемой. На этом все. В следующий раз расскажем о самых современных и инновационных англоязычных новостных ресурсах нашего времени.
