Grey Light came from between the bedroom curtains, like the light of an old black and white film. In it she could see boys and girls in coats. They were carrying packages, and some had bags over their shoulders. Who are these children? Where are they going? Are they real, or is Elise seeing ghosts from the past? And why did her father bring her to this little French village? What secrets does it hide?

British Life by Anne Collins_Level 3 Penguin Readers.pdf

Pages 1–7: This section includes many subsections.The Map of the UK at the start of the book has interesting facts about the country. The British explains to us the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom, describes the languages spoken in Britain, explores some differences between the nationalities which make up Great Britain and draws our attention to key features of the British character. The Royal Family starts with a quiz on how much we know about the British royal family and continues with an up-to-date family tree and other ‘royal’ facts. Pages 8–17: This section also includes many subsections. In The British at Home there are some statistics on home ownership and family size. The Changing Family and A Change of Heart explore what ‘a family’ means today, and the effect of the increasing divorce rate on British family life. There is a discussion on marriage and stepfamilies. This is followed by a picture story, A Change of Heart, about some of the dilemmas that are faced by divorced couples and their children. Pages 18–25: Faces of Business and The Call Centre describe a recent change in business, which appear to be the drop in making things in factories and the increase in providing services. This means giving help or doing jobs for people. There are statistics on average hours spent at work. The picture story, The Call Centre, is written from the view of a student starting work in a modern ‘call centre’. The City of London takes the form of an interview with Charles Rogers, who works in London at the biggest financial centre in Europe. Pages 26–31: In The British and Food / Scones, a British cook, Paul White, gives his ideas on how to make this traditional food for tea. There are also useful facts and figures on British eating habits and the trends.

The National Lottery describes how many countries have had a national lottery for years, whereas the National Lottery is a relatively recent feature of British life.

The British and Sport includes a quiz with ten questions for students to answer. The British on Holiday talks about holiday trends and statistics. Evenings Out focuses on three popular evening activities: the theatre, the cinema, and musicals. obrazek

Forrest Gump by Winston Groom_Level 3 Penguin Readers.pdf

When most people hear the phrase ‘Forrest Gump’, they think of the successful film that was released in 1994. However, the novel Forrest Gump, on which the film is based, is extraordinary in its own right. It is a superbly imaginative retelling of the last forty years of American history. obrazek

Four Weddings and a Funeral by Richard Curtis_Level 5....pdf

The novelization of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral is based on the screenplay of the film and was published in 1994. The screenplay was written by Richard Curtis, one of Britain’s top comedy writers. He is the author of the world-famous ‘Mr Bean’, starring Rowan Atkinson, which is both a TV series and a film. In interviews, Curtis has said that the film was based heavily on his own experiences. He thinks that much of the screenplay’s excellence is owing to the fact that he had twelve months in which to develop it, which is unusual in the British film industry. Curtis spent a long time discussing each scene with the film’s director and producer, and it is undoubtedly this kind of attention to detail that enabled him to write a screenplay of such unusually high quality. Charles is a charming and good-looking young Englishman, with a delightful group of friends. But he has a problem – although he loves women, he just doesn’t want to get married. Also, he’s rather shy. He meets Carrie, a beautiful and sophisticated American woman, at a wedding, and although it’s obvious he likes her, he’s much too shy to make advances to her. So Carrie has to make the first move. obrazek

Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy_Level 5 Penguin Readers.pdf

"Upon its first appearance in 1895, Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure shocked Victorian critics and readers with a frank depiction of sexuality and an unbridled indictment of the institutions of marriage, education, and religion - reportedly causing one Anglican bishop to order the book publicly burned. The experience so exhausted Hardy that he never wrote a work of fiction again." Rich in symbolism, Jude the Obscure is the story of Jude Fawley and his struggle to rise from his station as a poor Wessex stone mason to that of a scholar at Christminster. It is also the story of Jude's ill-fated relationship with his cousin Sue Bridehead - and the ultimate tragedy that causes Jude's undoing and Sue's transformation. Jude the Obscure explores man's essential loneliness and remains one of Hardy's most widely read novels. obrazek

Taste and Other Tales by Roald Dahl_Level 5 Penguin R....pdf

All the stories in Taste and Other Tales have a wonderfully inventive story line and Roald Dahl’s trademark ‘twist in the tale’.

The Beatles by Paul Shipton_Level 3 Penguin Readers.pdf

Mr. Paul Shipton, the writer of the book, was living near Liverpool when he was young. It was when the band slowly came to an end and the four men made new starts, going different ways. But probably he has some firsthand knowledge and experience about them. The book has 20 pictures among 42 pages, and full of interesting facts, from their births to the latest news round 2001. obrazek
