Unit 8, Lesson 5, Ex.2 Reporter: Dear listeners: Today we are starting a new series of interviews called “My Favorite Magazine.” As you might have guessed from the title, we’ll be asking people to tell us about their favorite magazines each month. Our first interviewee, Jerry, picked The New Yorker as his favorite magazine.
A little bit about The New Yorker magazine: First published in 1925, The New Yorker is famous for its award-winning reporting, fiction, poetry, political cartoons, commentary and reviews. The New Yorker focuses on the cultural life of New York City, but also reports on national and international affairs.
1. Tell us who you are, what you do and what you are interested in.
Jerry: Let’s see...I live in Texas. I work a corporate job, write rock songs, design clothes, take neighborhood walks, watch movies, and go out with friends.
Reporter: 2.How long have you been reading magazines?
Jerry: My relationship with magazines started in my childhood. I would go to the grocery store with my mom as a kid and find myself bored at the magazine shelves. I’d look through heavy metal magazines but they didn’t interest me. I think it was in the high school when I finally came to like magazines like National Geographic, Time, Glamour – my world opened up. Those magazines contained a secret universe. I’d read stories about fashion, art, travel, music. It was exciting stuff. I’ve been reading lots of magazines, but really, I think the New Yorker is the coolest: movie criticism, music criticism, fiction writing, and all the rest.
