BOOKS TO READ

As I informed you the other day, the VOLUNTARY book is 

"The Railway Children", by Edith Nesbit (Oxford Bookworms).

As this one is voluntary, there will be no test, and you are 

invited to read it and do all the exercises starting in December

and finishing just before our classes are resumed after the 

Christmas holiday period.

COMPULSORY book:

"Teacher Man", by Frank McCourt (Pearson Longman - Penguin Readers)

There will be a test when the classes are resumed after our Easter

 holiday period, so you are encouraged to get it and start reading it by early March.
