Magnificent

I have listened to ten songs by U2 and looked at the lyrics online while listening. The songs are: The Miracle, Every Breaking Wave, Magnificent, Vetigo, Elevation, Where the Streets Have no Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for, Pride (In the Name of Love), One and Beautiful Day.

A University Grammar

Since the first edition of the grammar book is no longer available to order, I contacted the University and now I have ordered the second edition that was published this autumn. The book has an activation code that will give me access to web resources connected to the book.

Arthur and Louis

I have read two articles in the magazine All about History, Book of Kings & Queens. The first one was about King Arthur - was he a real person or just a myth? The article talks about things like Camelot, Lady of the Lake, Merlin and The Round Table.
The second article was about Louis XIV of France, the Sun King who built Versailles and fought many wars.

Dictionary

My favourite dictionary is the one online from Cambridge. I can look up a word and get a short explanation, get to know what word class the word belongs to, get examples of sentences with the word and click a loudspeaker symbol and get to hear the pronunciation in British and/or American English. Could it get any better? Check out the website.

Coldplay are happy

I have read an article in the December issue of Q magazine: How Coldplay got happy. A journalist met the band in London in June and October and in New York in September. The band work in the studio with their seventh album (released in December), play at the Global Citizen Festival and the journalist takes a walk with singer Chris Martin in London. I have listened to the album, it's not my favourite, but it was nice to read this article.

Music, food, art and fashion

I have read some more in the Totally Gothenburg magazine: an interview with the singer Seinabo Sey, texts about the restaurants Kometen, Bhoga and Heaven 23, interviews with a Finnish art duo and a Swedish fashion designer duo.

Totally Gothenburg

I happened to come across an issue of the new free magazine Totally Gothenburg, a culture and lifestyle magazine in English. I have read an article about the Musik Livet exhibition at Göteborgs Stadsmuseum (which I had just visited when I found the magazine), texts about Gothenburg Film Festival, the P3 Guld Awards and the Go To Sea Festival. A nice way to read shorter texts in English and practice the language. It's possible to read it online here. The next issue will be out in February.
