1. Leaders (editorials)
特點(diǎn)
5篇文章当船，1頁左右咆爽。每周一上午開選題會leaders topics pitching庶橱，每個版塊負(fù)責(zé)人提議leaders主題撮奏，討論后確定5個主題升敲。
不能單獨(dú)存在昧识，必須在其它版塊至少有一篇文章加強(qiáng)它的論證攻臀。鎮(zhèn)刊之寶焕数。
Justin閱讀建議：
注意文章如何具體解釋一個事件的背景，如何做有洞見的分析刨啸，并給出解決方案堡赔。
精彩文章推薦：
The right to die (2015) 教科書式的論證文章;
Let them wed (for gay marriage);
Out with the long (所有單詞都是單音節(jié)詞，炫技);
IBM's centenary (創(chuàng)刊100周年紀(jì)念);
A manifesto (創(chuàng)刊175周年紀(jì)念)
2. Essay 不定期出現(xiàn)设联。
Justin閱讀建議：
關(guān)注怎樣組織長文的結(jié)構(gòu)善已，充分說理，并使用可視化數(shù)據(jù)增強(qiáng)文章論證的离例。
GRE寫作難點(diǎn)在于缺乏知識的積累换团，可以通過閱讀這個版塊來積累知識，學(xué)會如何表述觀點(diǎn)宫蛆。

選擇感興趣的國家或話題骇陈，用幾個小時完成閱讀震庭，學(xué)習(xí)TE是怎樣通過選擇，引用你雌，概況相關(guān)參考資料來報道和佐證自己的觀點(diǎn)器联。尤其適合有嚴(yán)肅學(xué)術(shù)寫作需求的讀者。
4. Books and arts

Justin閱讀建議：
學(xué)習(xí)TE怎樣選取書評的角度授瘦，用簡介醋界、準(zhǔn)確的語言作評論的。賞析優(yōu)美的語言提完。
精彩文章推薦：
Hot town: New York is brought to life in a sprawling debut novel
City on Fire. By Garth Risk Hallberg. Knopf; 944 pages; $30. Jonathan Cape; ￡20.
NEW YORK in the late 1970s was coming apart at the seams. People would be strung out in broad daylight, tottering down streets strewn with spent Pall Malls and “nickelbags like punctured lungs”. The Bronx was burning, graffiti spread like kudzu and muggers owned the parks after dark. Donna Summer oozed out of radios (“Love to love you babeee…”) while Patti Smith’s punk sermons drew acolytes downtown. The city was broke and on its way to hell. Or maybe it was already there.

6. Obituary
版塊特點(diǎn)
Editor: Ann Wroe
- 文筆優(yōu)美逐样、用詞精準(zhǔn)、長句較多帚称、語言富有詩意
- 不到1000詞寫活一個有意思的人（如：單田芳官研、Stan Lee、英國江湖大盜）
- TE記者公認(rèn)的“最值得讀的版塊”
- 偶爾話題不是寫人（鸚鵡Alex, 奧巴馬的停頓闯睹、英國鑄鐘工廠）
- 一篇里面寫2個人或7個人
Justin閱讀建議
學(xué)習(xí)Ann Wroe 怎樣刻畫人物、講故事担神，寫作機(jī)構(gòu)楼吃、開頭和結(jié)尾的寫法、人物經(jīng)歷和細(xì)節(jié)的篩選、精準(zhǔn)的動詞和名詞的實(shí)用孩锡。享受詩一般的語言酷宵。
精彩文章推薦
Whether in public or private she spoke, deeply and calmly, out of all the wrong ever done to blacks generally, and to her personally; out of all the wrong done to women generally, and to her personally. And then she soared above it.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
There was sorrow in her, strong and deep and mighty as that river Momma had sung about; but also the girlish, unconstrained laughter of a woman who, in her pristine inner self, could not be hurt at all.

Read for fun and enjoy!
二韭寸、我最喜歡讀的《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》版塊有哪些？
- Leaders (每周必讀)：一周熱點(diǎn)事件評論荆隘，每篇都是精華文章棒仍，值得持續(xù)關(guān)注某些事件，并逐漸形成自己對事件的深度理解臭胜，如英國脫歐問題莫其，the best way out of the Brexit mess, The truth about no deal, Into the endgame, Selling chequers, etc.
- 閱讀leaders中選取文章的深度長文，可能在briefing, 也可能在其它section. 兩篇文章一起閱讀耸三，注意比較不同點(diǎn)乱陡，加深對話題的理解。如Into the endgame (leaders), Exit music (Britain).
Sally的行動計劃：
- 每周精讀leaders及相關(guān)長文兩篇文章仪壮、積累亮點(diǎn)詞匯表達(dá)（用excel表格總結(jié)十詞十句）憨颠、分析段落架構(gòu)和邏輯推理、并嘗試復(fù)述文章核心觀點(diǎn)（比較有挑戰(zhàn)）积锅。
- 聽讀結(jié)合爽彤。早晨和上班路上聽TE App音頻（有時候no connection）和每日英語聽力中的音頻文章。
- 欣賞Obituary的語言美和人物美缚陷。
- 持續(xù)關(guān)注Britain和China兩個版塊适篙。
I renewed my subscription of the Economist in November 2018 and reading it tops my 2019 New Year's Resolution list. The primary aim of reading the Economist is to deepen my understanding of global hot topics, including Brexit, Sino-US competition, the advancement of AI, develop my capacities in critical analysis and learn to appreciate the beautiful English language. My 2018 will end with great momentum and I am looking forward to an even more fruitful and hopeful 2019.
