a) He was very frightened now. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He looked in the mirror and screamed. In front of him in the mirror, there was the head of a dead man. There were no eyes, and no nose, just deep black holes. Then suddenly the head came alive, and it began to laugh.

b) For the next thirty years the Duke and Duchess lived in Paris. They gave parties and travelled round the world, but they never went back to Buckingham Palace. When King George died in 1952 and Queen Mary died in 1961, Edward returned to Windsor for a few days. But Wallis stayed in France.

c) That night we went back to the house. When we saw Helen Stonor’s lights, Holmes and I got in quietly through the window. Then we waited silently in the middle bedroom. We waited or three hours and did not move. Suddenly we saw a light and heard a sound ...

d) “Run!” the man thought “Move! Faster! I can’t stop now.”

Over the man’s head the night sky was black and cold, and in front of him were the trees. Tall, dark trees ... “I can hide there”, the man thought. He looked behind him. He could see the lights. There were five or six men. Then he heard the dogs ...

 

Level 4.

Discussion about Books

Books,  I believe, may be divided into three classes:

1.                  books to read;

2.                  books to re-read;

3.                  books not to read at all.


The third class is the most important. To tell people what to read is, as rule, either useless or harmful. But to tell people what not to read is a very different matter.

It is indeed necessary is this age of ours, an age that reads to much, that it has no time to admire, and writes so much that it has no time to think. Whoever will select “The Worst Hundred Books” and publish a list of them will give the rising generation a real and lasting service.

Discussion

1.               Do you agree that there are three classes of books: books you must read, books you must re-read and books you must not read at all?

2.                Which are the largest and the smallest class? Why?

3.               How do you choose a book to read?

4.               What books do you re-read?

5.               How do you know what books not to read at all?

6.               Do you agree that the list of the “Worst Hundred Books” may be useful?

7.               From the book review: “It is not a book to throw aside lightly, it is book to throw away with great force”. Have you ever read such books? What are they?

8.               Make your own list of best books to read and speak about your choice:


a) for children of;

b) for teenagers;

c) for men;

d) for women;

e) for old people.

9.               Say whether you enjoy reading: fairy tales, adventure stories, detective stories, spy thrillers, classics, contemporary novels, poetry, non-fiction, biographies, memoirs, travel books, science fiction. Arrange them according to their importance to you.

On the road (A2)

  Read the articl, and answer the questions   Last summer, I went on a road trip with my friends. We were excited to see something new and have fun together. While we were driving, we saw many interesting things. We were passing through small towns, big cities, and beautiful landscapes, listening to our favorite songs and sharing stories. One day, while we were driving through the mountains, our car broke down. We were worried, but we tried to do our best in that situation. While some of us were trying to fix the car, the others were playing games, telling jokes, and walking around. During the trip, I was also going through a hard time in my life. I was feeling lost and anxious but my friends were there for me. They were cheering me up, listening to me, giving their advice, and encouraging me to be myself. As the trip went on, I was feeling more peaceful and close to my friends. We were sharing our dreams, our fears, and our experiences.  Looking back, the road trip was a...
