Lesson Pack Details
This is a 4-lesson pack. You will be issued 3 "coupons" when the first request is confirmed. You will be able to use these coupons for subsequent requests in the pack. Please note that all requests related to this pack must be taken within 30 days of the confirmation date of the first request.
Подробности урока
Many books will need more than just this pack of lessons to complete the book, but I think 4 lessons is a good place to start to see if you like it. Much of what I have already is fantasy or science fiction, if you don't see a specific book you would like to read on this list, feel free to reach out and ask. Even the books set in times and places not like reality, the flow of the language and the form of English idioms are familiar to native speakers. Learning how native speakers phrase things in these books can be a fun and relaxing way to get more familiar with the language.
Books aimed at young teen readers (though adults might enjoy them as a quicker read with simpler language)
Circle of Magic books by Tamora Pierce, beginning with Sandry's book. (fantasy stories in a magical world, the narrators are orphaned children)
Books aimed at middle and older teen readers (again, easier reads for busy adults!)
Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith (combined two novels, one where the main character is fighting a war with blades and the second where she is trying at a royal court to get the country to peace. There is magic, but not for much of the book.)
Protector of the Small quartet by Tamora Pierce, starts with the book First Test (set in a world with a lot of magic, the main character is a girl named Kel who sets out to become a knight.)
The Giver by Lois Lowry, a book commonly assigned for reading in school (set in what appears to be utopia, later revealed as a dystopia)
Books aimed at adult readers
The Martian by Andy Weir (was made into a movie, has some complicated science words but most dialogue is how people do actually speak)
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett (LGBTQ themes, has been made into a popular tv show on Prime video, comedy that can be hard to translate - I suggest trying to watch the Prime video show to see if you like the comedy)
His Majesty's Dragon: Book One of Temeraire by Naomi Novik (as the title implies, there are dragons. A novel of "what if" there were dragons in the Napoleonic wars.)
The Broken Earth triology by N.K. Jemisin, starts with the book The Fifth Season (dark post apocalypse book set in a world with magic, serious abuse of and death of a child early in the book, some LGBT characters mentioned later - also some sex scenes which we will not read during lesson time)

今回もたくさん頭を使いました。「The Martian」を読んでいますが、普通の英語会話のレッスンには出てこない言い回しが随時出てくるので、この本を選んでよかったと改めて思いました。アメリカ人が日常どのような言葉を使っているのか、本当に勉強になります。Cristy先生は博学なので、遠慮せずに色々訊い… moreВоскресенье, 26 Май 2024 r. 22:01 -

簡単すぎる英語の本は、内容が面白くないし、かといって大人向けの面白そうな本は知らない単語が頻繁に出てくる。そういう理由から、どの英語の本も初めの3ページで読む気を失っていました。しかし今は、Cristy先生との授業を考えると頑張れます。もう27ページも読んでいます。しかも科学用語が出てくるので、ひと… moreВоскресенье, 12 Май 2024 r. 22:08 -

一人ではなかなか読もうとしなかった "The Martian"に挑戦しています。私は授業の前に一人で読んで、分からないところをCristy先生に質問してます。辞書に載っていない言葉、英語圏に住んでいないと使わない、分からない表現方法と度々出会うので、先生に確認する… moreСуббота, 4 Май 2024 r. 23:27
