Introduction

Editor’s
intro
Hi, everybody, and welcome to another issue of
Hot English. Where did you go last time you visited
England? To London? Manchester? Bath? Well, in our
section called Amazing World, we’re taking a look
at Birmingham. Now, some people will ind it a bit
strange that we’ve used the words Birmingham and
“amazing” in the same sentence. However, Jayne is
here to tell us why it should be on every tourist’s list of
places to visit.
This month we’re also looking at a very special prize-
giving ceremony known as the Ig Nobels. They’re
designed to reward unusual scientiic research. And
this year’s winners were certainly unusual.
Have you ever been in England on 5th November? If
you have, you’ll have noticed al the bonires. They’re
actually part of a celebration that dates back to the
17th century. This was a time when being a Catholic
or celebrating Mass could mean a death sentence.
Find out more in our articles on Guy Fawkes.
Talking of England, I was back there recently, looking
through some old school notebooks of mine. In one
of my English books, I noticed a number of interesting
spelling mistakes, such as the classic “I’ve tooken
it” (which should be “I’ve taken it”) and, even worse,
“This is are problem” (which should be, “This is our
problem”). As we’ve said before, making mistakes is
all part of language learning. And as you can see,
even native English speakers (and future editors) have
problems with the complex spellings and verb tense
formation that English has to offer.
Finally, we’re taking a look at the mobile phone
this month. You’ll be able to learn lots of “cool” text
messaging abbreviations. So, with that in mind,
I’ll “CU nxt mth 4 sm more edukayshn & humor”
(which means, “See you next month for some more
education and humour”).
Bye,
