Posted by Ana T. on November 28, 2009

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 "begi

One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route.No problems for the first few stops, a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground.He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.The driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek...

I know it sound cheesy but it's also a good way to exercise. Till then.
