The New Yorker: Shouts & Murmurs
Arguably one of the most exceptionally well-written magazines, The New Yorker is both a reader's & writer's haven featuring high-quality *SATIRICAL* articles on social issues, politics, art, humor, culture, etc. Learn to decode and discuss.
Description
Resource: The New Yorker (PDF)
Suitable Levels: Upper Intermediate/Advanced, GMAT, GRE, SAT
Although its reviews and event listings often focus on the cultural life of New York City, The New Yorker has a wide audience outside of New York and is read internationally. It is well known for its illustrated and often topical covers, its commentaries on popular culture and eccentric Americana, its attention to modern fiction by the inclusion of short stories and literary reviews, its rigorous fact-checking and copy editing, its journalism on politics and social issues, and its single-panel cartoons sprinkled throughout each issue. Most importantly, The New Yorker is filled with satire and sarcasm, which, if you have a great sense of humor, you will enjoy very, very much.
Whether you're preparing for standardized tests such as the SAT, GMAT, or GRE, learning to become a better reader, or trying to become an exceptional writer, reading The New Yorker regularly -- with a tutor, if necessary -- will help you go a long way.
Note: FREE digital copies (PDFs) will be provided.
