I do not know exactly what you expect from me.
But I will tell you a way I loved so much.
it Helped me a lot to learn English


I found a site full of many of the wonderful short stories
and you can hear someone read it to you
There are more than 100 story
This site has helped me to learn the pronunciation of words

I hope you like.

This is one of the stories in it.



A Thief on the Sidewalk

She looked at the man walking along the sidewalk next to the nice houses. He didn't live in any of those houses. She had seen this man several times before. He looked like a criminal. She knew not to judge a book by its cover, but this man was no good.

She drove by him. He looked at her car as she drove by. She continued driving. She watched him in her rear view mirror. She got to the corner and stopped. She continued to watch him walking in her direction. Suddenly, he turned left up a driveway. A red SUV was parked in the driveway right next to the sidewalk. She saw him walk up to the driver's door and put his hand on the handle. He returned to the sidewalk and continued walking in her direction.

What was that all about, she wondered. Then she realized that he had tested the door to see if it was locked. He is a criminal, she thought. That's what he does. He just walks through our neighborhoods looking for cars to break into.

She called the police. She described the man. The officer said he knew who the man was. Residents called two or three times a week to report him walking by. But the police couldn't arrest him for walking around. They had to catch him with stolen goods. "But he was testing that SUV door to see if it was unlocked," she said.

"I'm sorry," said the officer. "That's not against the law. If you see him actually steal something, give us a call."

ok , this is a good suggestion

i have a Q

do we need to stick to our turns to post stories , topics or lessons

or anyone can post??a

[Al-majesty]

Actually , I prefer lessons in grammar or any other skills to stories
or topics .

we should bring lessons worthwhile

if we post stories not bad but not perfect
I am recommending not forceing
We should listen to others ideas that convey what all rather most need

[Conscientious]

well , yes i completely gree with u in this idea

i like to know more about grammar especially irregular cases or some situations that don't have a general rule

so let's keep this workshop for grammar lessons or intellective and smart questions
