for Bookworms (Grade 7A)

today we were speaking about reading and discussed the text 'Bookworms' with my 7 graders at school. We mentioned some outstanding authors Sir A.Conan Doyle as well.

I would like my students to read one of his detective stories and give them 'the taste of' the story in the original.

Here are some links for the text of 'A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA' in Russian, in English and the audio file

podcasts for Sergey and other 11 Graders

I mentioned listening to podcasts in English in my last class for 11 Graders on 9, October, Friday.
