Where can I find good English to read daily for fun and for practicing my English writing skills?
I need to practice writing in English, and I hope to find something to read in my leisure time to learn good English writing styles, like the word/sentence usages. Where can I find good English to read daily for fun and for practicing my English writing skills?
Without political preferences, I found the article I am part of the resistance is written in very good English, and I hope to read more articles written at this level. I've registered the New York Times, but most other articles I clicked are not as well written as this one. Therefore, I come here to ask: where can I find articles written at this quality to learn from?
(Again, I don't really have a political preference, it's just that this article is the only one that I ran into and can be used as an example.)

If you are looking for a British newspaper, my suggestions would be The Guardian, The Times, or The New Statesman. The last is a weekly journal. All are considered high-quality journalism.

Welcome to EL&U. This question is open-ended and somewhat opinion-based, and thus not a good fit for Stack Exchange, but we can help you out on chat. Are you looking for quality writing, or quality journalism? The article you link, as with most opinion articles, is not written by the NYT staff, but by a guest writer. As such you may expect it to be of high quality but not necessarily representative of other writing that appears in the paper. The same is true of other broadsheets, like the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, or Los Angeles Times.

There are millions of places you could read good English. Of course what you consider "good" is subjective and only known to you.

In the US The New Yorker and The Atlantic are consistent sources of excellent prose.

You might consider reading and commenting on articles in the New York Times. You have to be a subscriber to do this, but in my opinion the NYT moderators are among the best on the Internet in keeping their comment sections civil and on topic. You will encounter a range of educated voices.
