Letter From the Editor
Welcome to August, everyone! For those of you long-term
students who suffered through the winter, you finally got
your wish: Here is your hot Chicago summer! I know I’m
excited about all the exciting things you can do now that
the weather is nice.
Since the beginning of the summer, I’ve gone biking along
the Lake Front Trail, I’ve had picnics with friends at Fullerton Beach, I’ve gone to Pride Fest in Lakeview, I’ve tried
food at a few new restaurants downtown, and I’ve gone
camping in Wisconsin. And I haven’t even done everything
on my list! There are all kinds of free things to do in Chicago like neighborhood street festivals, Music in the Park at Millennium Park, Movies in the
Park, Shakespeare in the Park, Jazz fest, and so much more!
But don’t just take my advice… If you want to get out of your “EF bubble” and
learn English outside the classroom too, just listen to your classmates who
wrote about their authentic Chicago summer experiences in the August edition of News First!
Your talented writers went to Lincoln Park, Alhambra Latin dance club, different Spanish restaurants, and loads of other excellent places in Chicago to
bring you this edition.
What have YOU done this summer?
If you want to write about what you’ve been doing this summer, or have some
recommendations for the fall, you should join newspaper and tell the rest of
the school about your exciting EF Chicago experience!
I hope to see you soon!
Your summer bum,
Miranda

Lincoln Square – Let´s Go!
By Sarah Krause - Editor Michael Rose
A
re you ready for the best neighborhood in Chicago?
For my research I visited Lincoln Square 4 9mes and every 9me I came
back to Automa9c Lo; at 2 or 3 in the morning. So trust me, it’s amazing!
This neighborhood has a German touch – streets, restaurants, Cafes, supermarkets
– you can also find shops from other countries like Thailand, Greek and
Netherlands. There is a great mix of everything. You can take the brown line to the
sta9on named Western. Lincoln Avenue is the Main Street where you find can find
First, the most important point: EAT! If
you want to have lunch or dinner at an
authen9c, typical German restaurant
you have to go to Chicago Brauhaus.
They have a funny German live band
with a trumpet and an accordion. You
find tradi9onal food like sauerkraut and
sausage. It’s delicious. You get a cold
beer in a beer mug and have a great
9me in this special atmosphere.
Another restaurant which I can recommend to you is Gene’s Sausage Shop.
Look for the big plas9c cow above the
entrance. This place is a supermarket
and a restaurant in one. They offer a big
assortment
of
sausage,
meat,
vegetables, candy, wine and beer. Take
the elevator to the third floor and you
find the roo;op beer garden. It’s open
from Thursday un9l Sunday and you
must try a bratwurst with sweet mustard. It’s amazing.
If you want to
drink only a
good
cold
beer,
visit
Hü
enbar
which is also
on
Lincoln
Avenue. The
style of the bar
is similar to a
mountain
coEage in a ski
resort in Europe: Funny
music, friendly people and a lot of fun.
I’m sure you will like it.
Another sweet way to eat a great
dessert is Flirty Cupcakes. Maybe you
know the TV series “Two Broke Girls”
and you remember they first Cupcake
shop? It’s exactly the same. Everything
in this store makes you happy – the
music, the furniture and of course the
colorful cupcakes. I would die for these
liEle delicacies.
And last, I want to tell you something
about the German-American Culture
Center, Dank-Haus. They regulary
organize different events like cooking
workshops sausage making or music
fes9vals. Take a look at the homepage.
I‘m sure you will find something interes9ng for you.
English: cheers!
I hope my 9ps convinced you to visit
Lincoln Square. Some friends visited the
neighborhood with me, love it and want
to go again. I promise you will like it and
maybe you will have the same
experience as me and will fall asleep at 2
or 3am happy in your bed.
German: prost!
What is the
best if your
belly is full?
Yes, a dessert. Just near
from Gene´s
you can find a small and cozy cafe
named Selmarie. They have a huge selec9on of cakes and biscuits in every
flavor you wish. Enjoy your dessert with
fresh served coffee outside on the terrace. This place is the best way to relax.

Dance, Dance, Dance!
By Angelique Aronica - Editor Joanne Telser-Frere
D
o you LIKE dancing or maybe having FUN with friends but you don’t know
exactly WHERE to go?
Let me tell you about my first experience in Chicago! I arrived just a few
weeks ago in this huge city and my first wish was to find a good place to dance to
La9n music. As soon I arrived, I asked Andre, the Ac9vi9es Coordinator. He gave me
a list of good places. He also told me that EF organizes “Salsa Night” every Tuesday
at Alhambra Palace. This club is at 1240 West Randolph St, Chicago, in the West
Loop. I decided to give it and try.
The nightclub dancing started around
9:00pm. I danced for almost 3 hours non
-stop. I met some Americans, we
danced, we spoke and we drank some
cold beverages at the bar.
If you go to any good places, please
write
to
me
[email protected] and let
me know what you think…maybe next
month, I will try another place for you…
We enjoyed ourselves at Alhambra, IT Here is a list of some of the many La9n
nightclubs in Chicago to go dancing! If
WAS A BLAST!
you want a place that gets you dancing,
look no further! Put on your dancing
shoes, clothes to impress, and enjoy!
Patron’s Palace - 1240 W Randolph Chicago, IL (312-642-2400) / Salsa every Monday, $5.00 cover charge
It took only 21 minutes on the Green
Line, from Adam/Wabash to Morgan. It’s
important to know that if you go with
EF, you will only pay $7.00, instead of
$12.00. You can also pay half price if you
go on the website and book online.
The Alhambra Palace is huge and the
decor has a La9n feeling. There is usually
a DJ who plays music. However, some9mes there are live bands but it’s more
expensive. The dance floor is big enough
to dance, and there are many tables to
eat, drink or chat with friends.
You don’t know how to dance Salsa,
Kizomba, Bachata…? It’s not a big deal!
First we started with a lesson for beginners so we could learn the basic steps,
then we prac9ced during the evening.
Each lesson is 45 minutes long.
We tried the Kizomba lesson from
7:30pm un9l 8:15pm, then the Salsa
lesson from 8:15 to 9:00pm.
It was friendly, amazing and such a good
experience!

Ramadan, The Real Hunger Games

hat is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, when the Quraan,
the Muslims holy book, was revealed to Prophet Mohammed. Since
the calendar is according to the moon, it can be in summer or winter.
1.6 Billion people around the world fast. We will not eat, drink, smoke or have
sexual intercourse each day from sunrise to sun set. However, old people, someone
with a health condi9on, pregnant, or breast-feeding women, don’t have to fast.
Muslims start fas9ng when they are adults.
Why do we fast?
We fast in order to focus on ourselves,

The food that we make for Fatoor, the

Trip to Hawaii
By Gaëlle Laugerat - Editor Mia Manansala
A
loha my friends! Where are we? Well, take a map and target the middle of
the Pacific Ocean. There we are. Hawaii. The fi;ieth state, where "Aloha" is
the gree9ng.
You know this is an island, even if you don't know yet the importance of that fact.
An archipelago of eight main islands, to be precise. It means that Hawaii does not
belong to the con9nent. It lives by itself. It has its own rhythm and culture.
Waikiki is some9mes called "the American part of Japan". Pearl Harbor is wellknown for being American, but the most common language is Pidgin, a dialect
made from fi;een languages. Some would call it slang, but it would be far from the
truth, in that it is the local way to speak. This is just Hawaii. This is the Pacific Islands.
The piece of earth that interests us is not
Hawaii, a.k.a. Big Island, but Oahu. You
may not know this name either, but
Honolulu is there and the famous neighborhood of Waikiki. EF decided not too
long ago to implant a school in that paradise on Earth (do not forget that the
famous place called Stairway to Heaven
is located on Oahu).
The Aloha Spirit.
Living there is more than being on vaca9on. If you are on vaca9on, you are in a
visi9ng rush. Living there erases all feeling of urgency. Sure, the heat leads to
more laziness than natural, but there is
more. Hawaii enjoys life and loves its
lands. Aloha is not only "hello" nor
"welcome", it means that you are part of
the family, part of the place.
While Chicago presents neighborhoods
divided by community, Hawaii presents
two sides : the more American, and the
other one mixed, a legacy of the islands'
history. It has been explained during the
lectures in Chicago the origins of the
city, of the country, the unity here, the
importance of a place. Being in EF Hawaii makes you understand how being
an island is important in the evolu9on of
the state. Being part of the U.S.A. does
not mean having its culture. Federal laws
are applied, obviously, but it does not
mean that this is the American atmosphere. Leave Waikiki and you will understand what is Hawaii. Further than the
beaches, palm trees, blue sky, surf and
other clichés, are the lagoons, the waterfalls, the volcanoes, the forests...
to avoid this land of human bodies and
be in a less invaded one. There are only
ten classrooms, smaller than Chicago's:

Beyond Paella: Some Tips to Enjoy
Spanish Food
By Álvaro Parriego - Editor Phillip Meade
E
ach country is iden9fied by some stereotypes by foreigners. If you think of
Spain, it is possible that the images of a torero or a flamenco dancer sleeping a siesta come to your mind. Moreover, Spain is well known thanks to
the tapas and paellas. But Spanish food, including the above-men9oned dishes, can
also give you the opportunity to have a great meal with your friends and family.
This is one of the reasons why I want to tell you about some of the main dishes that
you can taste if you go to Spain through the menu of my favorite Spanish
restaurant here in Chicago, called Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba.
Located on Halsted Street, near Lincoln
Park, it is a cozy but affordable place
where you will enjoy some typical tapas
while you have a glass of Rioja or Ribera
red wine. First of all, to understand our
food culture, you have to know what
tapas means. Tapas are different kinds
of food, tradi9onally cooked and served
in small quan99es. Thanks to their size,
you can check out many dishes made of
meat, cheese, fish or vegetables,
without the necessity of ordering a main
dish. In a nutshell, you will taste different kinds of food affordably.
farmers take special care of them to
reach the highest quality of its meat. Its
intense red color and its salty flavor
make jamon one of the most well-known
delicacies in the world. We usually eat it
together with some toasted bread
topped with ripe tomato and garlic. This
mix is awesome.

This is an omelet made of fried
potatoes and grilled onions. If you want
to cook tor9lla, do it! The secret: cook
the potatoes and onions on a slow heat,
and with a huge quan9ty of olive oil.
Then, mix the potatoes and onions with
the eggs and fry the mix in a pan. It is
quite easy! For the best experience try
to get the middle pieces of the tor9lla
first because it will be more juicy and
tasty than the ones on the side.

Taking into account this concept, let me
share with you some of the best tapas
that you can taste in this restaurant or if
you visit Spain.

Tips to Improve Reading Comprehension
By Vilma Consuelo Amaya - Editor Rachael Wise
R
eading comprehension is a form of ac9ve and dynamic thinking and includes interpre9ng informa9on through one’s own knowledge in order to
infer what the author wanted to say.
Effec9ve reading strategies might help learners a great deal in improving their reading proficiency allowing students to become effec9ve readers, who are able to
solve different difficul9es during their reading process.
Students can benefit greatly and become strategic readers by using reading strategies; they can process informa9on in the texts more effec9vely and understand the
author’s message.
When students are reading in a second language they can be faced with possible
problems, here there are some reading comprehension strategies to follow, to improve your reading comprehension.
1
Possible problem: Students have
problems with reading comprehension because they are unable
to understand every single word.
Strategy: You should try to skip the
words, phrases, sentences from the
reading which are unknown and instead
of that, you can focus on key words. It is
helpful when you have the habit of finding and underlining valuable keywords
which will help you to iden9fy and remember important informa9on at the
9me you have to answer the ques9ons
of the reading.
2
Possible problem: Students
usually read the text but when
they finish it, they do not remember the useful informa9on and keywords. They need to re- read the text to
answer the ques9ons.
Strategy: First, you can read the ques9ons in order to have an idea what to
look for during the reading. This is the
“BoEom approach”
AMERICAN CULTURE

3
Possible problem: Students some9mes do not finish answering the
ques9on because the 9me is not
enough for them. For instance, some
students need to present interna9onal
examina9ons and they have a specific
9me to solve the reading comprehension ques9ons.
4
Strategy: Prac9cing different reading
comprehension exercises with the help

they cannot understand the gist of the
comprehension.
Strategy: Understanding a reading in a
foreign language requires a huge
amount of vocabulary, having good
knowledge of vocabulary allow you to
easily understand the text effec9vely
and in less 9me. Each day you can note
down in a notebook or in your I-phone
the new words you learned during the
day; for instance during the class, in a
newspaper you read, a movie, on the
train, in the supermarket and check
them periodically, at the end of the
week you have learnt a lot of words. It
depends on you, probably 50, 60, 70, 80
words. You make the decision!
All the best ….
