![]() ![]() They’re very well written – descriptive language and just good plain English that is easy to read and modern in style.The stories are short, so it’s less demanding and less intimidating.Here are some reasons why Roald Dahl is so great for reading (for your English) If you’re looking for something to read in English (and you should always have an English book on the go – it’s vital) then these could be great. I’d like to recommend his books of short stories for you to read. So, I’ve always enjoyed Roald Dahl’s work. I grew up reading his children’s books, but then also took an interest in the books of short stories too when I’d grown up a bit. Roald Dahl is most famous for his children’s stories – like The BFG, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, George’s Marvellous Medicine, but also he wrote some books of short stories for adults. This doesn’t take much preparation from me, so it’s pretty easy to do. I wanted to upload something fairly quickly and simply in this episode, so I’ve decided to read you a short story written by Roald Dahl, who is one of the UK’s favourite authors. ![]() I have lots of plans for new episodes coming up, but they all require some time and also silence in the background. If you want to sign up, go to .uk/premium The premium episodes are where I really focus on language, helping you to improve your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. There are now about 14 episodes – including audio and video content, with PDFs. That’ll happen probably mid next week when day care starts again properly and I have time to work on episodes of both LEP and LEP Premium.īy the way, LEP Premium is going well. What this means is that I still can’t get fully back into my podcast rhythm. This week my wife has some important work related deadlines which she has to attend to, so I’m looking after the little one. The baby (and she’s still a baby) tends to demand all your attention, whether it be playing, feeding, cleaning, changing, bathing or all manner of other things, it’s hard to do anything else when I’m the only one looking after her. This means that it’s a bit difficult to record and upload episodes of the podcast. In fact, her day care still hasn’t started again, so I’m being a stay at home Dad this week, looking after her during the day time. That’s because I had quite a busy time, going away on hols to different places and also looking after our daughter who was not in day care, because day care was closed during August. I didn’t manage to post as many episodes as normal. As I said to you in June or July, my podcast uploading was quite inconsistent over the summer. Summer is over, everyone’s going back to their jobs and their normal lives. Introduction Transcript (story script available as a pdf below) Intro transcript and story script available below.
