Editor’s
intro
Hi, everybody, and welcome to another issue of Hot
English. This month you may have noticed that you’ve
got two CDs instead of the usual one. It’s a little gift for
you. The pages that go with the audio CD are up on our
website on the homepage. Just go to
www.hotenglishmagazine.com and download them
– it won’t take a second. We hope you enjoy this special
little Easter supplement. Oh, and while you’re up there,
you may like to visit the Archive. You can ind some extra
articles there, some of which haven’t appeared in Hot
English.
This month we’re also launching our new Web School.
This is our online learning system with lots of activities to
practise grammar, vocabulary and listening. We’ve been
developing it for a long time now and we’re going to
continue improving it all the time. Please turn to page 41
for more information.
The other big news this month is the start of Dr Fingers’
blog. He’ll be posting his thoughts up on our website,
and taking a look at some interesting things related to
language and learning. There’ll be no stopping him
now!
Well, back to the magazine. This month we’re looking at
the life and times of one of Africa’s most brutal dictators:
Idi Amin. American actor Forest Whitaker stars in a new
and fascinating ilm all about the man. You can read
all about him and the fascinating history of modern
Uganda.
We’ve also got an interesting feature on a drink that’s
causing problems in Scotland, a declassiied secret
that’s embarrassing the French government, a special
series of articles on horseracing in Britain, and a look
at a new type of English that’s been invented by the
Japanese. Plus, all our usual articles to help you learn
with a laugh. Well, that’s all for now. Have a great
month.
FREE pages

go with the audio CD included
this month. Just visit the
homepage of our website
and click on the “Hot Easter
Pages” icon. See page 43 for

Celtic Football Club (pronounced “seltik”) is an interesting
club. It’s one of the top clubs in the Scottish Premier League
(the highest league in Scotland), and it’s based in the east
end of the city of Glasgow. The club was formed by an Irish-
man, Brother Walfrid, and it has many supporters from the
Catholic community of Glasgow and Ireland. Celtic’s greatest
rivals are Rangers FC, whose supporters are principally from
the Protestant community.
In 1967, Celtic became the irst British club to win the
European Cup (previous winners had been Italian,
Portuguese and Spanish clubs). That season, Celtic won
every competition: the Scottish League,
The Scottish FA Cup, The Scottish
League Cup, The European Cup and
The Glasgow Cup. Since the start of
the Scottish Premier League, Celtic
have won it 40 times (until 2006), and
Rangers FC have won it 50 times. Let’s
see what happens this year.
