English Today Magazine nº 186

Are you ready to go with the flow this month? The new issue of English Today is all about keeping things in perspective and taking life as it comes. It is always good to focus on how we perceive the world. Are we constantly trying to control everything or are we happy to accept that certain things are beyond our control. As usual, Psychology has the key. Mexico is a country of vivid colours, vibrant sounds and piquant flavours and where better to start learning about the country than in its capital city. Join us for a visit in Travel. Barak Obama was a fan and he, like us, has been patiently waiting for new music from Vampire Weekend. In Music & Lyrics we follow their musical trajectory from past to present. Our cover star and At Large subject is not to be found starring in Hollywood movies or in a hit Netflix series. Nevertheless, he was maybe the first ever Renaissance man – artist, architect, inventor among many other things… his talents were many, which is why his life and works deserve to be celebrated, especially in 2019, the 500th anniversary of his death. Leonardo Da Vinci, we salute you! Our language sections focus on finding a job, the use of "so" and expressions with "heat" along with chatting about the weather. A sure way to start a conversation with the locals if you are travelling to the UK. There is plenty more to keep you entertained and informed this month. Don't forget to check in with our weekly posts at www.facebook.com/ EnglishToday where we preview new contents and surf the web for interesting titbits. See you next month!
