Joy Reading 2

Joy Reading 2, the second book in the three-volume series Joy Reading, is a collection of twelve authentic short stories and novel excerpts crafted by the world's leading fiction writers and novelists. Preceded by a brief, informative biography of its writer/novelist, each story/excerpt is an engaging narrative that is specifically appropriate for learners of the English language who are at the upper-intermediate level of language proficiency. To guarantee full understanding of the narratives, learners can do the exercises which follow the stories/excerpts. These exercises primarily focus on reading comprehension together with on vocabulary development. Given its rich content, this book is suitable for use in all ELT classrooms. However, as the book adopts a flexible approach to reading, it also serves the language learning purposes of those learners who wish to improve their command of English through self-study.
