Get up-to-date with British news and culture with English UK
Every week, we summarise the news to give you some insight into what is happening in Britain, and what people are talking about.

This week, we do well at the Olympics, meet the UK's newest billionaire, find out the truth about dogs and find out why a man presented a TV show in his underwear.

Summer time = Festival time = Leeds and Reading Festival

The annual Leeds and Reading festival is a highlight for all who love music and is a great way to spend the British August Bank Holiday weekend (the long public holiday we have from 26 -29 August). 

Shakespeare Lives is an unprecedented global programme of events and activities celebrating William Shakespeare's work on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of his death in 2016.

We are excited to partner to bring the Shakespeare Lives campaign to StudyWorld 2016.
