Hi everybody and
welcome to another
issue of
Learn Hot English
magazine
– the fun
magazine for learning
English... and getting a
better job, and improving
your range of vocabulary,
and increasing your
listening ability, and
passing exams... and
lots, lots more. Our main
theme this month is travel. We’ve got some
useful pages on travel situations (at the hotel
and at the chemist’s – or “pharmacy” as they say
in American English!), and we’re looking at two
fantastic travel destinations where you can really
practise your English: New York City and Ireland.
As you might imagine, I’m a big fan of New York
as it’s got the famous landmark Coney Island,
which was founded by one of my ancestors. Of
course, that isn’t all and we’ve also got articles
on a film set in New York, Woody Allen (who’s
a true New Yorker), pets, tattoos, swearing and
a fantastic film set in New York City, to mention
just a few. Have fun, learn lots of English and see
you all next month!!

for you. Let’s
hope we can
do something
about the
climate so the

can have a bit of ice to play on.
And here’s our quote of the month:
“Politics isn’t a bad profession: if you
succeed there are many rewards; if you
disgrace yourself you can always write
a book.”

Nigel:
Stan speaking.
Hey, Stan. Nigel here.
Oh, hi Nigel. What’s up?
I’ve got a meeting at Marston Communications headquarters
tomorrow. You’ve been there before, haven’t you?
Stan:
Yeah, I was doing a bit of contract work there last year. Why?
Nigel:Just
wondering about the best way to get there. No one here seems
to know. Apparently, there’s no parking around there. I don’t want
to arrive late.
Stan:
Yeah, that’s right. I went by car last time and spent about 40
minutes looking for a space. The best thing is to get the tube to
Waterbridge station on the northern line.
Nigel:
OK.
Stan:
Take the Burton Street exit, and turn right as soon as you get
out of the station. Then, you just follow the road till you get to a
roundabout. Are you taking notes?
Nigel:
Yes, I am… a roundabout. What next?
Stan:
Take the first left on the roundabout and carry on for about 100
metres till you get to a cinema. The Marston HQ building is just in
front of the cinema.
Nigel:
Great. That sounds easy enough.
Stan:
OK. Good luck.
Nigel:
Thanks for that. Speak soon.
Stan:
No problem.
