How to use this book

To get the most out of this book, we recommend the following tips:

Don’t skip ahead: The stories in this book are arranged in order of increasing difficulty, allowing you to gradually build on your language skills as you progress through the book. This structured approach will help you to better comprehend and absorb the intricacies of the English language. As such, we strongly recommend not skipping any stories, as each one is designed to challenge you slightly more than the one before it.

Read regularly: Make a habit of reading in English on a regular basis. This will help you to build up your vocabulary and grammar skills over time.

Take notes: As you read, take notes on new words and phrases that you come across. You can also note down sentence structures and grammar rules that you find difficult to understand.

Practice speaking: Use the new vocabulary and grammar that you have learned in the short stories in your conversations with other English speakers. This will help you to internalize the language and improve your fluency.

Test yourself: Use the quiz at the end of each story to test your knowledge, and use the speaking/writing prompts to challenge yourself even further.

Stay positive: When you read a book in a new language, you might not know every word. That’s okay! Don’t worry too much about the words you don’t know. Instead, try to understand the story using the words you do know. If you don’t know a word, you can write it down and look it up later.
