We read challenging articles from the Economist, The New Yorker and from other original English sources you, the participants have found. We look for articles which provoke discussion. We talk about them and the grammar and often opinions differ about what we have read. That breathes truth into the saying "Variety is the spice of life". You will meet new words and expressions in the articles that you don’t know. Don’t be worried about that. That is the whole point of a challenging course. If you are at C1 level or have ambitions to speak at this level, here is an opportunity to add to your English knowledge at an advanced level.
