Letter of the week

ANOTHER FINE MAG

I'd like to express my admiration for M2F magazine. It not only gives news updates but entertainment for readers who work in many occupations.

Twenty pages is quite a good number to present stories about trends and foreign and local news. I pick it up five days a week. I think most people like it because it's free of charge.

I'm glad you also enjoy reading M2F, Supaluck. I know it's become quite popular in the short time it's been out. I see lots of folks on the skytrain and subway who are reading it. We're quite proud of our new little-sister publication here at SW. All of the Post Publishing titles are proud to have a new and successful publication in the family. Just don't forget to keep reading Student Weekly, too. — Editor

 


WEEKLY SEEKER

I used to study in Chiang Mai, and during that time I enjoyed reading Student Weekly very much. It helped me to learn English easily.

Since I moved back to my country, I have not been able to read Student Weekly. I tried searching the Internet. Could you please send me information if you can? Your help would be appreciated!

Phornsay Daungprachan,

Once upon a time, finding SW was quite hard, Phornsay. But since the advent of the Internet and mobile computing, you can find us anywhere. Just point your browser to www.student-weekly.com for the online version. It's got most of the content you'll find in the print edition. You can also find the SW app for your mobile device. Details about that can be found on the SW website and on the front cover of the magazine. Thanks for reading. — Editor


GAME NOTE

I recently read your Editor's Note (July 14, 2014) about a game that you are addicted to playing. I am a video game addict, too.

Could you please tell me the name of the game that you wrote about?

Peeradon Tayawitid,

Thanks for reading the Editor's Note, Perradon. I'm never sure that anybody's reading it. The game I wrote about in that issue is called Plague Inc. As a reminder to the other readers, the goal of the game is to develop and evolve a deadly disease. In order to win the game, your disease has to be virulent enough to wipe out all of humanity. It's a bit of a grim premise, but a fun game. Let's just hope it doesn't really end up happening. — Editor
