Current Events
What is a good way to learn about current events? Reading newspapers and magazines like Times and Newsweek don't seem to be helping me. Sometimes they use words I don't understand and basically I don't understand anything about politics so I guess I need to catch up on some background reading? Does anyone recommend anything? Or can give me a summary of what's up today?

My dear friend,
Newspapers and magazines aren't for everybody. Try watching local news shows that are targetted to give information briefly and in a manner that everyone can understand. Also, [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
is a good site for news story. They give you interesting news in brief articles. I hope you do well.

watch the news...e insider... and the absolute best site for updates too... www.cnn.com also, you can go to the main screen on aol and that does a good job of updating. any words you dont understand, you can learn at www.dictionary.com and also, practice your vocabulary for a good cause www.freerice.com its a site that is amazing...the sight donates 20 grains of rice for each word you get right to people that cant eat. you will see all the information on the site, it shows you what vocab level you are on, and how much rice you have currently donated.

If you don't understand a word, look it up.
Also, if you read more (anything, not just nonfiction or news), you'll be able to read faster and with more comprehension. You'll enjoy it more after a while.
