Reading can be an excellent way to learn new words and review grammar in a natural context. However reading a book in the original version can be difficult. There are books, by famous authors or biographies or non fiction books written in simplified English so that they are not to difficult to understand. one publisher is Macmillan.

Here you can read sample chapters from their books before you decide what you want to buy.


For example here is the first chapter of Frankenstein


You can but the book with a CD on amazon


Or you can sometimes find them online.




I have some books in pdf format. Ask me if you are interested.

When talking about the past, as well as the past simple you can use the past continuous and the past perfect to add different levels to your story.

There are some exercises on these tenses on Pages 53, 104 and 105 of Insight into PET.

You can read about these tenses here


and try the exercises on narrative tenses here

Two ways to understand these tenses better are 
1) reading and
2) using them to talk about your life or experience

Think of  year in the past, for example, 2005, and answer these questions thinking about your situation at the time.

Leggere in inglese puo essere un buon modo per rivedere la grammatica in un contesto naturale e imparare nuovi vocaboli, ma leggere direttamente in lingua orginale puo essere difficile. Per fortuna ci sono libri a livelli diversi in inglese semplificato.

Ci sono alcuni titoli qui

Un'altra casa editrice e Penguin. 
Ho un libro che si chiamo The Troy Stone, completo di file audio. Chiedetemi una copia.

Sono disponibili anche esercizi per aiutare con la comprensione.
