English Corner , a journal for English study, started publication on March 21. Compiled by the famous Foreign Languages Press, the magazine features standard, useful, easy, funny and fashionable language study.
The phrase "English Corner " originated in the 80s' and from that time people called the place for an English salon as English Corner.
Compiled by a group of skillful editors, the magazine can be used as an English textbook for students and lovers of the languages.
Different from many other English magazines that focus on language, this one emphasizes daily-use English. Most materials are from modern life in the West, so they are comparatively easy and at the same time very useful, facilitating the readers' learning of modern foreign life and aiding their communication with foreigners.
The magazine, which is highly illustrated, also offers the background of the reading materials. For instance, in a dialogue on the Olympics, the readers can find the history, development and agendas of the Olympic Games.
Besides reading and appreciation, the magazine offers readers many opportunities to talk.
The magazine is mainly for students in middle schools and universities and it is an ideal helper to anyone who wants to study English.
