With no exposure to languages growing up, and no special talent to speak of, Olly had to figure out how to learn a foreign language from scratch.  \nFifteen years later, Olly holds a master ’s in TESOL from Aston University as well as Cambridge CELTA and Delta. He has also now studied several languages and become an expert in language learning techniques. He collaborates with organizations such as the Open University and the European Commission, and is a regular speaker at international language events and in-person workshops.  \nOlly started the I Will Teach You a Language blog in 2013 to document his latest language learning experiments. His useful language learning tips have transformed the blog into one of the most popular language learning resources on the web. Olly has always advocated that reading is one of the best ways to improve your language skills and he has now applied his expertise to create the Teach Yourself Foreign Language Graded Readers series. He hopes that Short Stories in English for Beginners will help you in your language studies!  \nFor more information about Olly and his blog, go to [www.iwillteachyoualanguage.com](www.iwillteachyoualanguage.com).

These stories offer:  \n• Exciting content and practice with the 1000 most common words in English.  \n• Interesting pictures to support reading.  \n• Shorter stories with chapters so you can progress easily.  \n• Texts written at your level.  \n• Summaries, vocabulary lists, and comprehension questions so you can understand more easily.  \nGetting the most from the stories  \n• Read each story from beginning to end. This will give you a feeling of progress.  \n• Read often and a lot. This will improve your language skills.  \n• Remember that you will not understand everything you read. This is completely normal.  \nHandling words you do not know  \n1. Look for similarities with words you know.  \n2. Re-read the sentence that uses the unknown word several times and guess what the word means.  \n3. Think about different forms of words you know. (You may not know have gone, but you may see that it is related to go.)  \n4. Note unknown words in a notebook, and check the meanings later.  \nThe Six-Step Reading Process  \n1. Look at the illustration and title. Think about what the story might be about. Then read the chapter. Do not stop to look up unknown words. Simply try to follow the story  \n2. Read the summary to see if you have understood everything  \n3. Go back and read the same chapter again  \n4. After you read again, read the summary again and review the vocabulary list  \n5. Work through the comprehension questions to check your understanding of the story  \n6. At this point, you can re-read the chapter or move on to the next chapter.  \n* Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) levels A2–B1","cbCaicV3jr2zRni7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicV3jr2zRni7","pdf",3633147,200,"English","# Contents\n## Using this Book – At a Glance\n## Getting the most from the stories\n## Handling words you do not know\n## The Six-Step Reading Process\n## Short stories (examples)\n## Crazy Paella\n## A Very Unusual Excursion\n## The Knight\n## The Watch\n## The Chest\n## Unknown Territory\n## Laura, the Invisible Woman\n## The Capsule\n## Answer Key\n## Glossary\n## Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"Who is this book intended for?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed for beginner to low-intermediate learners, with text aligned to CEFR levels A2–B1.\"},{\"question\":\"How should you handle unknown words while reading?\",\"answer\":\"Look for similarities with known words, reread the sentence several times to guess meaning, consider word forms, and note unknown words to check later.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the six-step reading process?\",\"answer\":\"Preview the illustration and title, read the summary, reread the chapter, reread the summary and review the vocabulary list, complete comprehension questions, then either reread or move to the next chapter.\"}]","Short Stories in English for Beginners - read online free | PDF",1790597253,308]
