That's good

I read this so I can assign it to my ESL students. I think it is a really good start for A2 students as recommended by the American English File. I will be reading the rest of the series as I assign each story to my students. I hope they enjoy as their level and the language progress.

It talks about a girl actress who deceives a man who says bad things about her in the newspaper

So this story wonderful and i didn't expect the end ❣️

چون قراره دربارش از زبان آموزم سوال بپرسم خوندمش.

یه مقدار به نظرم برای استارترها میتونه چالشی باشه. فکر نکنم این سری دامینوز مناسب زبان آموزهای سطح پایین باشه

I like the book. There is a development in the story line. A good book for English beginners.
2024 July - A reared. Still like the book.

Fairly predictable but I guess that's the point.
