Good morning, everyone:

I'll soon be taking the ATA certification examn in October for EN>ES and have been translating for a few months texts from some major information sources, like the Economist, The New York Times, BBC, Wired, Reuters and Al Jazeera.

However, I like to know from any previous ATA test takers (preferably certified) of other relevant or appropriate sources you have used for practice, specially magazines or periodicals, based on the following phrase from one of the many links residing in the certification section of the ATA website: "Typical examples of English-language texts at the appropriate level are editorials in national newspapers, or articles in magazines aimed at an educated audience."

Unless I didn't search the forums properly, I haven't seen any discussion on this particular topic or aspect.

Kind regards ▲ Collapse
