First Wave: Subject 117
[Penguin Readers Level 2]
"Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.

1. Penguin level 2
2. 100 minutes
3. subject / alien / thief / wife / kill / 19 / no-money
4a. I want you to remember my face. I'm Subject 117. I know you're here.
4b. I think this scene is cool. It is the last sentences, but maybe it continue the story.
5. The main character lost his money in a bank. Also his credit card was stopped. Why it happened such a thing? He tried to investigate. It related with alien.
The story was interesting for me, but I couldn't know the ending in detail. I want to read the continuation.

A.PENGUIN level2
B.80minutes
C. thief, wife, alien, kill, subject, Nostradamus, earth
D. I know you're here
I like this passage because this scene was cool.
E. I was surprised because I didn't expect that all character in this story was alien except for main character. Story developing of this story was interesting, but I don't like the way of ending because I think it was unfinished. So I'm interested in the rest of this story and I also want to watch television version.
