David Beckham is back in Arsenal - level 1

David Beckham is back in Arsenal - level 2
Is David Beckham training with Arsenal? It is probably only speculation. Actually, it isn’t speculation. He is just there to keep in good condition. He thinks about his future.
The thirty-seven-year-old player is free and he can choose any club which he wants to play for. He has been linked with many moves to many clubs but he hasn’t decided yet.
He trained with Arsenal for a short period in 2008 so he knows some players in Arsenal and he knows the training grounds. But the manager of Arsenal says that Beckham will not play for Arsenal.
Interesting words: linked (connected), move (transfer), training grounds (places for training).
等級 3
David Beckham is back in Arsenal - level 3
David Beckham training with Arsenal? Surely that means cue speculation. Actually, it doesn’t. He is just there to keep in shape while he ponders his next move. The thirty-seven-year-old midfielder is a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy in December.
He’s been linked with moves to Paris Saint-Germain, QPR and West Ham. But Beckham has yet to say what his future plans are.
He trained with Arsenal for a short period in 2008 and with Spurs two years ago. So he is no stranger to squatting at training grounds. Arsene Wenger confirms that there is no chance Beckham might sign for the Gunners.
Interesting words: Arsenal, LA Galaxy, Paris Saint-Germain, QPR, West Ham, Spurs, Gunners (names for football clubs), cue (provocative), free agent (free player), squat (live somewhere without paying rent).

We’ve already seen Duolingo provide a way for language students to learn by translating content for the web, but our latest spotting recognizes that it’s often too much of a challenge to throw people in at the deep end.News In Levels provides current affairs stories in English at three levels of difficulty to help people learn.
The site features articles about recent news items featured in the English press to keep students up-to-date with English-speaking culture, with each item available in three difficulty levels. Beginners are advised to start with Level 1, which uses a limited vocabulary and contains a glossary at the end of each article to help readers understand difficult words and context. Words they should learn are repeated through the articles so that after a few months, readers should be familiar with a decent number of words and can move onto the next level. Each article is a short summary of the story, sometimes with a Youtube clip or the option to listen to the article being read aloud. The site claims that after one year, readers will have a vocabulary of 5,000 words under their belt.
News In Levels recognizes that not everyone is at the same level of literacy when it comes to learning a foreign language and attempts to cater for everybody. Currently only in English, could this model work for learning other languages?
