Can You Believe It? 2 Book
Can You Believe It? is a three-level reading series that combines highly unusual news stories with high-frequency idioms, phrasal verbs, and fixed expressions. Students read and listen to a story (which progresses in length and difficulty throughout each text) as they look at a sequence of comic-strip style illustrations. They go on to produce idioms from the story in speaking and writing through story retelling, thought-provoking personal questions, dialogue production, and dictation. Review units provide additional practice of idioms in new contexts. Answer keys, semantic groups, grammatical tips, and usage information are included. A cassette is available at each level.
