Hi Ricky, we haven’t recorded more of the Nurse Story or any of the other Interactive Stories. What you hear in this post is just a sample. We may, at some point, record one story in full, and will notify the mailing list if we do.
i like your approach… of how u provided blanks so people who read it can stimulate their mind in providing response to the blank
I´m an English teacher in Spain who trains Spanish students who are preparing to work in shops and I think this type of material is very useful to help my classes so thank you very much for them
Hi Kimberly and Manalo….Glad you found this post useful.
Wher can I download the audio files of the other
stories?
Hi Joop….again, there are no other recordings of the stories in full. Soon we may produce more recordings.
I very much love summer
Someone very much loves winter
I Wish to know whom more
For what you love winter?
For what you love summer? Let’s argue
I very much love Autumn and Spring.
The colours of flowers are a song
The faded leaves are a book of poems
But without Winter and Summer
The cycle would not be complete
Circe circle circle circle circle!!!!!!!
i can’t hear it clearly!!!!! what’s up? please fix it….
I’m a new student on here.
I love this site.
Anyway I listened to conversation; nurse story #1. I’m interested in its story and learning method you’ve got.
I laughed when he did change color of her cloth from pink to white. Why? Do Pink has some different mooooood? hehe.
As I stated, I’m touched by this method. I can imagine whole scenes what you guys described by conversation. I think this is very helpful to learn English as English. I mean I don’t need to translate.
Thanks.
