Люблю иногда почитать celebrity news, потому что там всегда куча классных выражений и всяческой культурологической инфы.
Вот например новость о том, что дочка Анджелины Джоли и Брэда Питта решила отказаться от фамилии отца:
Last week, Shiloh's request to change her name appeared in The Los Angeles Times, prompting some media outlets to claim that she had shared the news in an ad.
Запрос на смену фамилии был опубликован в газете. И вот адвокат комментирует это:
“Shiloh Jolie did not take out an ‘ad’ announcing any name change, and any press reporting that is inaccurate"
take out an ad в американском английском = to publish an ad
Далее поясняется, что таким образом дочь знаменитостей не пыталась привлечь внимание, а просто соблюдала закон штата:
Shiloh simply made a legal notice regarding the change since it is required by California Law
Закон Калифорнии требует публиковать уведомления о смене фамилии в newspaper of general circulation = газете, которая имеет право публиковать юридическую информацию

Love this word (because I'm a fan of legal dramas)
a writ ordering a person to attend a court, повестка в суд
Do you know how to pronounce it?
Check yourself:
Sounds like:suh - pee - nah
From late Middle English (as a noun): from Latin sub poena ‘under penalty’ (the first words of the writ). Use as a verb dates from the mid 17th century.

Language learning, whether classroom-based or naturalistic, whether in an EFL or an ESL context, is capricious, opportunistic, idiosyncratic and seldom amenable to external manipulation
