As usual, the sole aim of these materials is to analyse and reflect on language use, rather than the events themselves.

Summer is here!
A current topic we would not like to deal wth, will be looked into tomorrow to start with.
You might consider allocating time to listen to thought-provoking TED Talks or BBC podcasts, which can provide a wealth of knowledge and stimulate engaging discussions. Alternatively, you could channel your creativity into writing reviews of books, TV series, restaurants, or concerts that have left a lasting impression on you.
Revisiting previous posts on pronunciation, grammar or practising shadowing exercises using texts from your textbooks can also be a valuable way to hone your linguistic skills. Moreover, organizing an English Hour with classmates or friends can be a delightful way to maintain momentum, whether you choose to debate current events, share personal anecdotes, or discuss future plans.
If you've been meaning to start reading a book that's been recommended to you, now is the perfect time to embark on that literary journey. Or you might read national, international or local news. The key takeaway is to ensure that your engagement with the language remains consistent, leveraging your interests and hobbies to fuel your reading, viewing, and listening habits.
In the event that you require some extra inspiration, I will resume to provide ideas and suggestions in the remaining days of June and throughout July.
Happy beginning of summer for you all!

EL PAÍS (News in English)
Dear readers,
The countdown for the Colombia election has been underway for a few weeks. On June 21, depending on who wins, people are preparing a response in the streets. From a Bogotá prison, one of those jailed for the social uprising of 2021 reaffirmed to EL PAÍS a message that has been circulating for days: “If the right wins power, the people will take to the streets.”
Meanwhile, the impact of the Trump administration’s immigration policy on the World Cup continues to spark controversy. The debate has even reached the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C.
In other news, we covered the story of the jailed banker in Brazil whose secrets — and his willingness to disclose them in exchange for a deal — are making the elites nervous.

EL PAÍS (News in English)
Dear readers,
As the World Cup finally kicks off, politics occupies an increasingly oppressive sphere in the United States, and the national team cannot escape it. After two decades of disappointment, the host team of the biggest World Cup in history faces the dual challenge of winning over a tense country and competing successfully on a historically unfavorable stage. Leading the operation is Mauricio Pochettino, arguably the national team coach with the most complex mission of all. We spoke with him about how he sees it all.
Also this week we looked at Pope Leo XIV, who was in Spain for a week-long visit during which he made a point of defending immigrants even as anti-immigrant sentiment appears on the rise in many places. Robert Prevost has gone from being an enigma, someone who seemed timid, to becoming a revelation in just two months. What is this pope thinking, and why has he been so disconcerting?
We also examined Bolivia's failed economic system based on natural gas reserves that were not quite as large as advertised, talked to the head of the Metropolitan opera about his efforts to raise much-needed funds, and analyzed why magical thinking appears to be on the rise everywhere.

Dear readers,
Justo Betancourt and his family became symbols of the resistance to Trump's immigration crackdown during the more than six months he spent in ICE detention centers, where he suffered serious health problems and was twice nearly deported to Mexico. Released after his daughter Arianne led a campaign in his favor, he says that Trump's post on Truth Social apparently celebrating his newfound freedom sounds "like a mockery."
Trump this week also endorsed the winner of the first round of Colombia's presidential election, Abelardo de la Espriella. The far-right candidate has made the most of growing polarization, has used misogynistic and homophobic language, admires Milei and Bukele, and wants to reopen debates over abortion and child adoption rights.
This week we also bring you an interview with U.S. gymnast Simone Biles, who is torn between another comeback or definitive retirement from the elite: "I hate exercise, after doing it for so long, I deserve a break."
