    Fantastic! This Short Stories e-book is for people who are really serious about improving their fluency in English. Not only that, but it also help with improving conversational skills in a broad way! Let me explain why. You have these 20 stories, about different topis, form trips to new experiences (the role-playing game one was fun!). So, as a serious student, you will probably grow your vocabulary a bit by discovering new words on various topics. Each of these stories is followed by 25 questions to make sure that you have understand them well. And that, is where this method become really interesting. Because you’ll actually make your brain work to understand and REMEMBER what have been told to you! To really listen what other people say to you is a fundamental conversational skill so few actually make the effort to cultivate. By practicing the method of reading a story and really use your brain to answers to the questions that follow you will develop this skill and, de facto, seriously improve your interactions with English speaking people! To deepen this learning process each story have 5 “Trainings” which help you understand these in a different fashion, bit by bit, so you will integrate them at your pace. Really interesting and definitely recommended!
