Describe a magazine or newspaper that you like to read.
You should say:
what magazine or newspaper it is
what the magazine or newspaper is about
how often you read it
and explain why you like to read it.
MODEL ANSWER:
I’m going to describe a newspaper that I like reading, and it’s actually one of Da Nang’s local papers called the Morning Express. I read this particular paper because it really has its finger on the pulse.
As for what the newspaper is about, well, it actually covers quite a range of news, such as current affairs, business, sports, local and national news, you name it! But I’d say it essentially focuses on regional news, because after all, it is just a local paper, which, as far as I know, is only circulated in and around Da Nang.
And with regard to how often I read it, well, I guess pretty much every day actually, although to be precise, I hardly ever read it in its entirety, as it would be far too time-consuming, so I normally just flick through and read only the interesting-looking articles.
As to why I like this paper, well first of all, I would say it’s really informative, and it helps me keep up-to-date with what’s going on around me, otherwise I wouldn’t have much of a clue, to be honest with you! And I guess another thing worth mentioning is that the newspaper is generally very well-written, because the articles, on the whole, are concise and not too wordy, unlike many other newspapers I’ve read in the past!
