Newspapers

Staff and students at The University of Manchester can access a wide range of online resources, including newspapers, via The University of Manchester Library databases page.

Newspapers contain a lot of interesting stories which can help to improve your language skills, particularly with reading. You do not need to understand every single word in a text as long as you can get the main idea, and reading newspapers is an ideal way of developing these skills.
