Итак, мы продолжаем серию книг по английской грамматике. Я очень рада, что у нас уже есть настоящие фанаты и надеюсь, что с этой частью их появится еще больше. В чем разница между первой книгой и этой?
Во-первых, уровень вырос с pre-intermediate до intermediate. Во-вторых, количество русского языка сократилось до минимума, он остался только в рассказах на перевод.
В-третьих, разбираем более каверзные аспекты грамматики, используем более сложную и интересную лексику и создаем рассказы с более закрученными сюжетами. Напомню, что принцип обучения по моим книгам состоит в том, чтобы через простые грамматические задания на додумывание и изменение предложений переходить на создание рассказов с необычным сюжетом и непредсказуемым поворотом событий. Так, например, в этой книге вы узнаете много нового о необычных сверхъестественных особенностях животных и попытаетесь разгадать тайну собаки с пазлами. Так постепенно вы начинаете не просто хорошо разбираться в грамматике, но и думать на английском языке.

Куджо осторожно заглянул в сарай. Он увидел на полу одеяло и разбитое яйцо. Он медленно подошел к скорлупе и вдруг услышал тихое шипение. Звук шел из большого старого холодильника, где Куджо обычно хранил свою еду. Он очень медленно открыл дверцу и увидел маленького зеленого дракончика, которые сидел на полке и доедал собачий корм.
