20 Day English – Day 15: Newspaper English language quiz

Newspapers are filled with thousands of words when they are reporting the latest events.

Reading the newspapers is an excellent way to pick up lots of new intermediate to advanced vocabulary for free.

However, even when you are reading quality journalism, reporting only on the news, you will find that the articles are peppered with (meaning: ‘containing lots of’) lots of idiomatic phrases that you may not know.

Today’s quiz takes actual sentences from today’s Daily Telegraph newspaper and asks you to work out what the target phrase really means.

So, good luck improving your vocabulary knowledge of typical newspaper language with the test below.
