PART 2
Why I Love Living in Siberia
I did not put the article into Readlang, but you can do that if you want to!
This is an article written by Henry Turner. It was published in 2015, nearly 10 years ago.
When was the last time you lived in Siberia? When was the last time you visited Siberia?
Let's read the article aloud. Let's have conversation after each paragraph. Let's find some new or interesting vocabulary.
....and for tomorrow!
Reading for vocabulary and pronunciation
Conversation about each paragraph.
