Archived News about Britain

 I used to use these news reports a lot with students because of the activities. 
The earliest one with activities appears to be Wimbledon 2006.
All in all, (a fin de cuentas) there are 30 texts you can do with activities.
Activities include wordsearches, themed idioms, matching exercises, reading quizzes etc. 
Beware!
The last page of each pdf contains the answers so don't print this until you're ready to check your answers.

One of my favourites is this one about Boris Johnson, the London mayor!

Here's a quiz about Boris Johnson
