Reading on the Web: Newspapers
Reading is not only a pleasure but also a wonderful way of improving your vocabulary. So choosing carefully what you read might help you to have the vocabulary you want.
I simply love reading the news on the web. It is instant, always updated, and a way to travel far. You decide when you start, what news you want and you can easily avoid commercials!
I’d like to share with you a few links to read news from Britain and the United States. It is an interesting exercise to read the same piece of news published on both sides of the Atlantic and compare. You will see how different British and American English can be.

There are sites publishing news from Argentina in English. When it comes to economy, we need words to describe what is going on and they are not easily found in a dictionary.

Good sites indeed, Gastón. Onlinenewspapers.com works as a search engine for newspapers all round the world. I agree with you that reading newspapers can broaden your knowledge of ways of life elsewhere. We are sometimes too focused on local news, are we not?
Just one correction: the URL of the National Library of Australia is http://www.nla.gov.au/
Refdesk deserves more space in a future posting. More about that later on.
