    Really learn English!

A Special Bonus-English Short stories for Beginners

Ideal for complete beginners or children learning English:

●54 pages long

●Fully illustrated (有插图的)

●Simple and easy

There are many English short stories for English learners, but not many of them are suitable for complete beginners or children.

Complete beginners are those learners who have just learned the alphabet, learned the basic simplified sounds of the letters and hardly have any vocabulary.

As mentioned above, it can be a real challenge to find stories and activities that are suitable for students. Most stories at this stage are either too complex or simply not interesting. This is especially true if they are beginners. Most stories have at least some of the following flaws:

●too advanced, or too complicated (难懂的) for beginners

●hard to understand

●not really interesting

●contain idioms and other advanced vocabulary structures

●too long

These things are likely to reduce the student's motivation and make lessons less effective.
