In this Issue Welcome to the 14th issue of MED Magazine, the free webzine of the Macmillan English Dictionaries resource site! One of the activities that is commonly associated with the festive season is eating. In the New Word column this month we take a look at food and drink alternatives for Christmas. The second article in the newly launched series on metaphor explores the metaphors that we use when we talk about money. This month we continue the series of articles on the differences between American and British English vocabulary. In the feature article you can read about the differences between vocabulary related to transport. The Language Study section in this issue takes a look at two common text types: narratives and descriptions. You can read about the main characteristics of these text types, and also find some useful activities that you can do with your students. A wide vocabulary is an essential part of successful writing. The top tips this month give you ideas on how you can build your students' vocabulary of adjectives with the help of the Macmillan Essential Dictionary CD-ROM. If you are interested in a particular topic, article or author, you can browse the content of all the back issues of MED Magazine on the index page, which is updated every month. MED Magazine was 1 year old in October 2003. You can read a selection of birthday greetings we have received from readers all over the world in this issue. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. If you would like to contact us, please fill in and email us this form. Click here to see what our readers have said about MED Magazine. |
