Description and Table of Contents
Description
Longmans Easystarts is a series of low level readers designed for students who are just starting to read and who want to read books which are simple but not childish. The stories are particularly suitable for students starting English at their secondary school. Easystarts encompass a variety of settings and situations. The language level is pitched lower than Longman Structural Readers Stage 1 (which has a basic vocabulary of 300 words) and the vocabulary, structures and sentence length are carefully controlled. Each page of the book is made up of 2/3 of illustration and 1/3 of text and the illustrations should facilitate and reinforce comprehension as well as making the books attractive to students. There are questions at the back and an accompanying cassette is available which contains readings of all six stories. This book is the story of a teenage girl, Tina Daniels who is a pop star, but who wants to be happy as well. Tina's mother has ambitions for her, but Tina wants to get away from it all and finds herself staying in the countryside with old Mrs White. Here she learns another way of life.
