First, foreign periodicals have strong timeliness. The materials we want to read as soon as possible. Foreign periodicals are not only new in time, but also keep pace with the times and are most suitable for intensive reading.

Intensive reading of these articles can increase our understanding of the cultural background of Britain and the United States, which is of great help to improve our reading and writing level.
Third, foreign periodicals are the source of most English exams.

It is difficult to learn English at once, but as long as you persist, you will certainly get something!
