Based on the Speech Plasma Method, this collection of stories on fifty topics will help foreign students of English go through the most vulnerable period of learning – pre-intermediate level. At this stage students do not see their progress clearly enough and often feel increasingly anxious and frustrated. All the fifty stories are accounts of Julia’s everyday life. Being a real person Julia tells her stories in a very natural way revealing her own style and manner, repeating the same grammatical structures and word combinations. As a result, students easily remember the stories, speaking more and more fluently. Fluency practice drills that accompany each topic accelerate the transition from pre-intermediate to intermediate level. Audiobook version of the volume is available on Audible.
