INTRODUCTION

Subscribing to an English magazine is a good way to improve your English. If you are not in the UK, you can arrange for the magazine to be sent to you in your country. Subscriptions are usually much cheaper than buying each copy separately, and there is the added convenience of having the magazines sent to you.
