Magazines

Have a look at the new magazines in the Students' Room next to the TV. For example:

Foodie: a magazine all about food and drink in the Midlands. There is an interesting article about a bakery in Banbury. It talks about how the traditional methods of bread-making are dying out and this bakery is trying to maintain them. You can get their bread at the farmers market in Gloucester Green on Thursdays twice a month.

Now: a magazine focussing on style and celebrity gossip. I have to admit, I don't really like magazines like this, but I know some of you do. After all the hype in the press about Britney Spears, you might enjoy reading the interviews with her family and friends.

Q: a music magazine. My interest was caught by the article called "100 ways to get free music"

in Britain: A tourist magazine of Britain. This edition has an article telling what to do in a short break in Oxford. Has some great pictures too.

TV Choice: Just in case you want to know what's on TV next week.

Enjoy reading. If you read something interesting and want to write about it, then I look forward to reading what you have to say.

Welcome

Hello there everybody. Welcome to the Eckersley Students Blog. I hope that you will all get writing up to this blog and sharing your experiences of Oxford. I'm sure you're all wondering what you can write about. Well, here are just a few ideas:

- post links to any websites you know for studying English
- write about places in Oxford or London you think other students would like to know about
- write reviews on books you read from the library
- give your opinions on any issues. These could be things you discuss in class, or things you read about in the newspaper or watch on TV
- film or theatre reviews
- tell us about things happening in Oxford

You can also comment on things that other students have written.
And of course you can continue to look at the blog and post to it after you leave Eckersley. That will give you a way of keeping in touch with everyone you meet here.

Happy posting
