About this ebook
Over our many years teaching English, we have identified three points that will help you learn easily.
It needs to be interesting. If you want to progress to English fluency you need to be having fun or be interested in what you are doing. All of the articles in this book are based on interesting real life stories. We cover everything from ‘news’ to ‘business’ and ‘lifestyle’, and everything in-between.
It needs to all be in English. This will help you begin to think in English.
It needs to contain ‘real English’. Most books ‘dumb down’ the material. We present real English but in a clear way. We don’t treat you like a child or bore you with the same old nonsense.
If you are in the intermediate level and want to gain real English fluency then this book is ideal for you.
Let’s Get Started.

Conclusion
Britain Votes for Brexit
Part 1.
In what has turned out to be a very close result, Britain has voted for Brexit and will now leave the EU. While both the ‘leave’ and ‘remain’ camps were neck and neck for most of the campaign leading up to the election it was widely believed that Britain would vote to remain. Therefore, the result has sent shockwaves through the country and indeed throughout the world.
Vocabulary:
A camp: In this usage it means a ‘group that has certain beliefs’.
Example: During the election there were two camps. Those that wanted to leave the EU and those that wanted to remain.
To be neck and neck: To be very close in a competition.
Example: The race was neck and neck but the French horse won in the end.
A campaign: This is when a (political) group tries to convince people of their position.
Example: The political campaign for becoming President lasts months and costs millions.
To send shockwaves through (the country/world/community etc): To be shocking. To surprise people.
Example: The death of the young boy has sent shockwaves through the local community.
Part 2.
The result immediately set off a train of events including the Prime Minister David Cameron resigning. Scotland, who narrowly missed out on separating from the UK before have already begun pushing for a second referendum in order to separate from the UK and then again rejoin the EU. All in all it has been an eventful few days and it will certainly be interesting going forward.
Vocabulary:
To set off a train of events: This is when one event causes lots of other
