Pearson Longman, level 5

It´s a highly enjoyable book with seven different stories by Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe and other famous writers. All of them are adapted for upper-intermediate students.

The book is really pleasant. Of course, some stories are more gripping than others but on the whole it is really interesting. If you began a story you won´t be able to put it down without finishing it.

The book includes 5 CDs which let you practise your listening at the same time you are reading. Also, if you don’t know a word, you can look it up in a word list at the end of the book.

Regarding the stories, some of them are really short, which is marvellous in order to improve your listening while you are driving, cooking… and later you can read them, and maybe you will see that you understand more English than you think.

In a nutshell, in this book it is all advantages. What are you waiting for to read it?
