Most people think that Aethelflaed is a bit dim, but when the town trophy disappears, her stubbornness is the key...Book for English Learners (Upper-Intermediate/Advanced), with notes, activities, exercises, audio file, extra articles and explanation of grammar and vocabulary.There are many storybooks aimed specifically at students of English, but I have noticed most do not use their full potential. They are basically stories adapted in order to be more easily understood, but do not give the reader activities and exercises where they can put the language to use. I have tried to correct this. This book includes:Conversational English and everyday expressions.More than 100 explanatory footnotes.Activities and puzzles focusing on aspects of vocabulary and grammar.Everyday Objects / Food / Directions / Tag Questions / Household Vocab / Professions....Extra exercises at the end of the story to teach grammatical structures, phrasal verbs and extending vocabulary:Might vs. Could / Should have vs. Must have / Past Perfect / Like vs. As / Phrasal Verbs & Common Expressions / Vocabulary Builder....Extra articles focusing on aspects related to the story:1. Alfred, Aethelflaed and Athelstan: The Saxon Monarchs2. The RNLI: Britain's volunteer heroes.A link to an audio file. Listen to the whole tale!Most people think that Aethelflaed is a bit dim, but when the town trophy disappears, her stubbornness is the key...
