English Short Stories - stories for adult English learners!

After a hard childhood, Jade was beginning to see life through a different pair of eyes. Her once gloomy view of the world had changed, and finally things were looking up. But then, one tragic day, she lost the gift of sight.

In this edition of the English Short Stories series, we are posed questions of honesty, the importance of friendship and, perhaps most crucially of all, our appreciation of the world around us. Graded at CEFR Level B2+ (Upper-Intermediate), The Blink of an Eye is an excellent educational tool for both independent learning and classroom use.

This book includes:

• 'The Blink of an Eye' - a short story divided into several chapters; written for adult learners.
• 'What do you think?' - comprehension and opinion-based questions at the end of each chapter. Here, the reader can check their understanding, make predictions and apply some of the chapter themes to their own life.
• 'What do you know?' - vocabulary and grammar exercises at the end of each chapter. Graded at CEFR Level B2, the reader is tested on some of the key language from the chapter.
• 'Your Turn' - a creative writing task at the end of the story. Creative writing is a great way to put what you have learnt into practice - but don't worry - as a reader you will be given a theme (relevant to the story) and prompts to help you on your way!
