BBC Future is a section of the BBC website where you can read some really interesting articles about lots of different subjects. The articles are written in an academic style, so we're looking at academic English here to an extent. And they are exactly the type of reading text that you might find in an IELTS reading test. You often find academic texts about scientific subjects or history or psychology in IELTS tests. So it would be really good practice for you to read articles like this on a regular basis,. Whether you are preparing for IELTS, or just interested in developing your English generally.
