The papers in Britain are divided into two groups: the quality and the tabloids.
The quality papers are large in size and have detailed articles about national and international events. The tabloids are smaller in size, have shorter articles and have more pictures. The articles in the tabloids are shorter and about less important events. Sometimes they are about private lives of well-known people. They are daily and Sunday papers. Sunday papers are larger than daily papers; they are national, and that means they can be bought all over Britain.
Many papers and magazines are printed in colour and a number of papers produce colour magazines as a part of Saturday and Sunday papers. They provide reading material about fashion, clothes, cooking, diet, house and home, motoring and holidays. They published sections with articles on travel food and wine, and other leisure topics.
The great number of magazines are published for woman. Their bright covers are designed to catch the eye, and they certainly succeed in doing so. There are magazines for motorists, farmers, gardeners, nurses, computer programmers and many others. There is always something to read.

I learned to ride a horse. When it was sunny, I flew a kite in the field. I saw a lot of beautiful places. Once I visited Tiny and listened to his new fairy tale. I liked my holidays. I’ll come back to Chatterplace next year. Would you like to go with me?
