Students can learn to expand their sentences with additional information, making their descriptions more vivid.

Past Tenses: These stories frequently shift between past simple, past continuous, and past perfect to build suspense and explain backstory. This helps learners understand and use different past tenses appropriately. Passive Voice: The passive voice is often used to create a sense of mystery or focus on the action rather than the subject.

Quotations and Reporting Verbs: Horror stories usually include a lot of dialogue, which can help learners practice direct and indirect speech. This is essential for understanding how to report what someone else has said.

Download or read book Small Spaces written by Katherine Arden and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling adult author of The Bear and the Nightingale makes her middle grade debut with a creepy, spellbinding ghost story destined to become a classic. After suffering a tragic loss, eleven-year-old Ollie only finds solace in books. So when she happens upon a crazed woman at the river threatening to throw a book into the water, Ollie doesn't think—she just acts, stealing the book and running away. As she begins to read the slender volume, Ollie discovers a chilling story about a girl named Beth, the two brothers who both loved her, and a peculiar deal made with "the smiling man," a sinister specter who grants your most tightly held wish, but only for the ultimate price. Ollie is captivated by the tale until her school trip the next day to Smoke Hollow, a local farm with a haunting history all its own. There she stumbles upon the graves of the very people she's been reading about. Could it be the story about the smiling man is true? Ollie doesn't have too long to think about the answer to that. On the way home, the school bus breaks down, sending their teacher back to the farm for help. But the strange bus driver has some advice for the kids left behind in his care: "Best get moving. At nightfall they'll come for the rest of you." Nightfall is, indeed, fast descending when Ollie's previously broken digital wristwatch, a keepsake reminder of better times, begins a startling countdown and delivers a terrifying message: RUN. Only Ollie and two of her classmates heed the bus driver's warning. As the trio head out into the woods—bordered by a field of scarecrows that seem to be watching them—the bus driver has just one final piece of advice for Ollie and her friends: "Avoid large places. Keep to small." And with that, a deliciously creepy and hair-raising adventure begins.

Download or read book Spanish Short Stories for Beginners written by Easy Language School and published by Giovanni Tortora. This book was released on 2021-09-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hola ¿QueTal? ¿Quieres aprender el idioma español ? Do you want to learn the Spanish Language fast without having to relocate to a Spanish-speaking country for months? Are you planning a trip to Spain or Latin American? Do you want to learn a new language but don't have enough time to learn? If you are looking for a fun and easy way for learning spanish with short stories, then keep reading... A story is, above all, a succession of ideas, words and phrases. So, obviously, the first reason for learning Spanish or any other language with stories is so that you can discover and learn new words and expressions. When you read a new book or listen to a new audio book in a new language, you will face new words and new expressions. These new words and expressions, after discovering or looking for their meaning, can be written down to help incorporate them into your vocabulary. Since there are stories on a wide variety of topics, including those in this book, you'll be sure to find several that interest you. You'll also find that the vocabulary used in each of the stories can be transferred to traveling, working or just learning basic conversation. It is up to you to find stories that are related to your goal to improve your knowledge and orient yourself towards the vocabulary you would like to learn. Learning a language with stories means learning useful vocabulary. You can learn meaningful vocabulary and that you can easily use. Very often, it is the context itself (or the way the word is integrated into the sentence) that helps understanding. In this way, by reading or listening to stories, you may expose yourself to words you don't know, at first. But due to the context, you can easily deduce its meaning. Learning within a context, like these stories, is more intuitive and faster. If you surround yourself with stories in Spanish, you will be in some way forced to progress. In addition, one of the best ways to work your accent and pronunciation is to listen to movies, series, audiobooks ... in the language you study. Last, but not least, it's crucial that you have a good time while reading these stories. In this book you'll find 30+ Short Stories Translation of the Short Stories Spanish Phrases and Words Summary of the story Vocabulary of the story Exercise For you to make the most of them, first of all, get yourself acquainted with how each story is told. Maybe skim the story at first, to see if you understand the generalities. Then, when you dive into the story, you can focus on understanding, and learning. Ready to get started? Click "Buy Now"!

Download or read book Language Hacking Spanish written by Benny Lewis and published by Teach Yourself. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's true that some people spend years studying Spanish before they finally get around to speaking the language. But here's a better idea. Skip the years of study and jump right to the speaking part. Sound crazy? No, it's language hacking. Unlike most traditional language courses that try to teach you the rules of Spanish, #LanguageHacking shows you how to learn and speak Italian through proven memory techniques, unconventional shortcuts and conversation strategies perfected by one of the world's greatest language learners, Benny Lewis, aka the Irish Polyglot. Using the language hacks -shortcuts that make learning simple - that Benny mastered while learning his 11 languages and his 'speak from the start' method, you will crack the language code and exponentially increase your language abilities so that you can get fluent faster. It's not magic. It's not a language gene. It's not something only "other people" can do. It's about being smart with how you learn, learning what's indispensable, skipping what's not, and using what you've learned to have real conversations in Spanish from day one. The Method #LanguageHacking takes a modern approach to language learning, blending the power of online social collaboration with traditional methods. It focuses on the conversations that learners need to master right away, rather than presenting language in order of difficulty like most courses. This means that you can have conversations immediately, not after years of study. Each of the 10 units culminates with a speaking 'mission' that prepares you to use the language you've learned to talk about yourself. Through the language hacker online learner community, you can share your personalized speaking 'missions' with other learners - getting and giving feedback and extending your learning beyond the pages of the book . You don't need to go abroad to learn a language any more.
