'True Stories In the News - A Beginning Reader' by Sandra Heyer

Хорошие коротенькие истории, написанные простым языком, но при этом великолепно провоцирующие обсуждение. Для использования на уроках примерно раз в две-три недели. Двадцать две тщательно подобранных истории, каждая из которых запомнится вам и вашим студентам!

Synopsis:
Imagine scuba diving near the Florida coast and suddenly getting sucked into the huge pump of a nuclear power plant! Or writing love letters to someone every day for a year, only to see that person marry the mail carrier!
The universal appeal of these real-life, human-interest stories engages beginning ESL students with humor, poignancy, or astonishment, and helps them to become fluent readers.
Each book features:
-- Pre-reading questions.
-- Exercises in vocabulary, comprehension, discussion, and writing.
-- Carefully controlled vocabulary and structures.
-- A variety of essential reading skills.
-- Activities for pair or small-group work.
Twenty-two stories include new, updated and improved material. Both the reading selections and exercises will build students' confidence and reading skills.
