English 24 Magazine (Il Sole 24 Ore)
This monthly magazine is aimed at intermediate and advanced level students who need to refresh their English. The articles are taken from leading newspapers and magazines such as: The Times, Financial Times, Economist, New Scientist, Time, Newsweek, Independent, Business Week, Guardian, Sunday Times, Spectator, Variety, International Herald Tribune, Observer, etc. The articles are printed in their original form with introductory summaries in simplified English. The difficult words and phrases in each article are commented in an extended glossary with explanations, translation (where necessary) and further examples of their usage.
Apart from handling all the translation requirements, T&T’s task is to write the summaries for the articles as well as the comments on difficult words and phrases. A further task is to create the feature pages entitled Zog's mailbox, Play Ground, Mind Your Language and Talking Planet , as well as the contents of the audio CD that goes with each issue of the magazine. We also produce the studio recording, parts of which are broadcast by the Sole24Ore radio channel.
