Hello guys! Welcome to my channel! My name is JC, a University Lecturer in the UK. 哈喽大家好,欢迎来到我的频道——每天学点经济学人英语。我叫JC,是一名在英国高校工作的大学老师。In this channel, I hope to share with you some latest news happening around the world, and some useful words and expressions to talk about them. 那么这个频道呢主要是和大家分享一些最新的热门话题,以及如何用地道的词汇和短语进行表达。我们选用的语料主要来源于《经济学人》: 一本诙谐幽默的英文新闻周报。选用它主要是因为它的用词相当日常,而且常常带有梗的成分,可以说是学习英语的不二之选。那么话不多说——let’s jump right in!
