Two Boyfriends

by Joanna Strange, Robin Waterfield, Annette Barnes

"Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.

tired boyfriend look new boy pub sick

@Discussion question
Have you ever had more than two boyfriends or girlfriends?

@My answer
of cause No. i don't have my boyfriend now, but i have never interested in new boyfriend while i had one. therefore i couldn't understand why some people want to make other boy or girl. i don't want to make my boyfriend sad. if i will be tired of my boyfriend, i look for new one AFTER breaking up with my boyfriend!

@What I think about the book.
this book has 4 stories, and two of them are made like comic books, so i could enjoy this book. speaking of other stories in this one, that is the story of interviewing what things people like in a school, a woman faced an accident in a hotel, and people getting in a trouble while they did outdoor. all of them was easy to understand, so i want to recommend this book to my around

boyfriend, two, pub, Tuesday, friend, toilet and sick.

Have you ever had two or more girl friends or boyfriends?
I have never done. I do not want to do that because it is too troublesome.
If your boyfriend or girlfriend have another one, what will you do?
I will leave the girlfriend and I can not forgive her.

This story was really enjoyable for me to read and I do not want to be involved with such the situation.
