1. NEWS

     a. Read and watch   THE VRT NEWS IN ENGLISH

     b. Practise your vocabulary with the news in this challenging word game "Prognosticate ".
         Pick your favourite news topic of the day from CNN or the BBC. You can choose between :
        world news / politics / business / entertainment / science / technology / health / education.
        Then choose your level:
          - easy: when the news story stops, you must guess the next word, but you can pick your answer from 
                       a list of all the missing words from the story. At the end you get a score. And if you want, you
                       can have a look at the complete article on CNN or on the BBC.
          - hard: you must decide the next word, but you get some help though.
