Reading newspapers in English could not be easier, thanks to the modern technologies we can access any the news all around the world. It is excellent devise to improve your English while doing something you would do anyway. Reading articles in English improves your vocabulary, your reading skills and keeps you informed. You just have to choose newspaper or magazine you like, it does not have to be the most reliable - what matters is to keep you interested so you would read it regularly!

Are Blogs a good idea?

These days is everything about being online, most of the things which are not online simply don't exist for some people. Most of us are using social networks, creating web pages and writing  blogs. To be honest I am not a fan of any of those. 
Of course each of them has its advantages and disadvantages but do you really need them in your life? Ten years ago we lived without Facebook and our personal blog which could read people we have never met and I can not say my life was less interesting or fun.
 I don't read any blogs regularly; actually the only blogs I have ever read were for the ICT course at university and my grandmother's. There are over 50 million blogs worldwide and the main question is: Do the blogging people have something interesting to say?  

Here is a link to Gerry McGovern's blog called New thinking, he published interesting article about blogging:
