As a private tutor, I've been looking for texts written in Present Simple and/or Present Continuous, since that's my students' level of knowledge. They're in the 5th and the 6th grade (the same school), and the program is really slow - after five and six years of learning English they use and learn only Present Simple and Present Continuous.The problem for me lies in finding texts (stories) written in present tense, which I could use for my classes. Even those labeled as "basic English" or "beginner's" are often written in Past tense, and the vocabulary is more suitable for a native speaker than a young ESL learner. So, I've decided to write my own short stories, and I'll be posting them here in this blog, one by one, as they're being created.
