Thursday's Story

I think that children stories can be  very useful to practice English in quite a complete way: vocabulary, grammar, listening, stress and intonation, while we enjoy a nice story. Therefore, this is going to be my post on Thursday.

Creo que los cuentos para niños pueden ser muy útiles para practicar el inglés de forma bastante completa: vocabulario, gramática, comprensión oral, ritmo y entonación, mientras disfrutamos de una bonita historia. Por lo que ese será el tema de la entrada de los jueves.

Today, 'The Greatest Treasure' by Amit Garg
Hoy, "El mayor tesoro" de Amit Garg.

Enjoy.
Disfrutad.
