wonderful book coz it save me for block reading ❤️

[Moez Lamti]

I wonder how some people get to publish books! This is a shoddy, patched up collection of extremely improbable tales that smell of unimaginative silliness. Yes, I think you can be silly and creative, but that's not the case here. If this is written to highlight a "graded" model of language for ELT purposes then it certainly fails to do the job. How would students learn the language if the stories are that boring? So, enough with this. If you want to tell a story, tell a good one or just stick to the standard course book.

Las historias cortas hacen que no resulte nada pesado iniciarte en la lectura en inglés. Es una gran herramienta para mejorar la compresión lectora en otro idioma y para ampliar vocabulario.

Short stories are easy to read. It helps to learn vocabulary; I would say it helps a lot in understanding reading in another language.

I read this book for learning English.
The Intermediate version was too difficult for me, but this one is perfect for my level.
It’s easy to read and good for beginners.
