We’ve got more articles and more listenings (the CD is now

level you are, you’ll ind something interesting for you to read
throughout the magazine.
You’ll also notice lots of extra listenings on the CD. These
listenings are now part of the Hot English Students’ and

based on Hot English articles, with lots of fun activities,
grammar exercises and help in organising your learning.
The new Hot English Teachers’ Pack has ready-made lessons
for you (the teacher) to use in class. They are organised
according to four levels from the CEF (the Common European
Framework). There are lots of games, pre-listening activities,
role plays, speaking activities, vocabulary practice exercises
and lots, lots more to help you teach effectively and
professionally. For more information on subscribing to either
one of these products, please see the advert on page 5 or

Photo of the month
Political Parties
The builders in this photo win the prize for
Intelligent Workers of the Year. Do you notice
anything strange about the photo? These council
workers were told to put some
bollards
around
a bank as a security
precaution. Did anyone
think to ask them how
they’re going to get the
van
out?

Bad year for hurricanes.
Boring Hollywood
Reporter says Hollywood ilms have boring ideas.
A reporter says that Hollywood is
boring
. James King, who works for
the BBC, says that Hollywood has
no new ideas and that they need to
be more original. “This year the new
ilms are
Shrek 3
,
Spiderman 3
,
Pirates
of the Caribbean 3
and
Harry Potter
5
,” said King. “These ilms are just the
same every year and now it’s
getting
boring
.” Hollywood producers like
to
remake
ilms. Very often,
sequels
make a lot of money, but King says
that this is a bad thing for the industry.
“It is the same
storyline
and the same
actors working for the same producers.
Something has to change,” he says.
However, some people think that
remakes are a good idea. “People are
familiar with
the characters and can
see them develop. This is a good thing,”
said ilm producer Chris Bean.

Stormy
Experts say there will be bad weather
this year in the US. Southern US states
such as Florida and Georgia often have
hurricanes
during the late summer. But
weathermen say this year will be bad.
We are
expecting
maybe 15
storms
said one weatherman. Hurricanes are
very dangerous. They can
damage
buildings and kill people. Last year was
quite a year for hurricanes. But 2005
was the worst year in history. In 2005
there were 28 diferent storms, and one
of them, “Hurricane Katrina”, became
infamous after causing billions of US
dollars of damage. The government
say that people have to take dangerous
objects inside. They need to
protect
themselves from
the
winds
, which
can
reach speeds
of more than
130 kph
.
