A scientific breakthrough
For help with vocabulary, you might like to try this simple website: OnlineUtility.org
Copy and paste the article or part of it into the 'Learn English Text' or 'Vocabulary Builder' and it will help you with the difficult vocabulary.
Or, if you prefer, just use a dictionary like this (the idioms section of the Cambridge dictionary is good)
Another thing you can try to do is look in the texts for examples of the different grammar structures you've studied this month - can you find conjunctions, relative clauses, conditionals, phrasal verbs etc.
Or you could try to write a short summary of one or two of the texts.
Or find other articles in different newspapers related to the same topic. How do the writing styles differ? What about the opinions?
A good way to understand what a newspaper is like and the kind of people who read it is to look at the comments posted at the end of articles.
Or you could watch something from BBC IPlayer. For example,
'Outnumbered'
