    About this ebook

    Super-Short Stories for English Learners is an enjoyable collection of very short stories that English/ESL learners (or anyone) will love, ranging from adventure, to love, to horror. There are several books, each one for a different level of English learner - from beginner, to intermediate, to advanced. This series grows with you as your English improves.

    Each delightful story (depending on which level of book you choose) is between 500 to 1,500 words, so you'll easily be able to read while on the go (during your commute, while in line, during those found moments and short breaks throughout your busy day). The more you read and re-read, the more you'll reinforce your understanding of vocabulary and grammatical elements. The best way to learn vocabulary, in fact, is to read. Never study vocabulary lists. Instead, read interesting content that you enjoy. That is the only way to learn and be able to use vocabulary correctly and in a native way. And before you know it, you'll level up your English!

      Super-Short Stories for English Learners B2-C1 (Advanced) - Smart and Easy English

      Preface

      Welcome to this collection of super short stories designed for English learners! These stories are perfect for those at B2 to C1-levels. They have simple plots, with varied and familiar themes that you'll surely recognize and love. They are also very short for quick reading, making them ideal for enjoying even if you don't have a lot of time - for example, on your mobile device while on the go.

      How to Read

      To get the most out of each story, we recommend reading them three times. The first time, just read through without looking up any vocabulary - don't worry if you don't understand everything, this is a normal part of the learning process. Try to get the general ideas and themes.

      The second time, look up all the words and phrases you don't understand to build your vocabulary. Finally, on the third read, you should be able to understand most everything and can use this opportunity to reinforce your knowledge.

      Remember, reading and re-reading these stories is the best and most natural way to improve your English. You'll subconsciously learn and absorb proper grammar and learn to utilize the language in a natural, native way. So, take your time and enjoy these short stories!

      Love in The Vineyard

      As the sun began to rise on the first day of summer, Martha's Vineyard revealed its magnificent landscape to those who were lucky enough to witness it. The island, situated off the coast of Massachusetts, was a haven of tranquility and natural beauty, boasting rolling hills, sparkling beaches, and verdant forests that stretched as far as the eye could see.

      Summer had always been a time of possibility for Emma, a time when anything could happen. And so it was with no small measure of anticipation that she boarded the ferry to Martha's Vineyard, leaving behind the city and all its cares.

      The island was everything she had hoped it would be and more. There were long, lazy afternoons spent on the beach, evenings filled with laughter and music, and a sense of freedom that was intoxicating. But there was also Jack, a guy with whom she had clashed more often than not. He was charming, to be sure, but there was something about him that rubbed her the wrong way.

      Emma and Jack were in many of the same classes at Boston University - they were both Communications majors. The two had been at odds for months, ever since a disagreement turned into a full-blown argument in class one day - Jack, a provocateur and perpetual chauvinist, liked to goad people. And Emma, with her sharp tongue and reactive personality was easily goaded.

      They had tried to avoid each other, but as fate would have it, their summer jobs had placed them both on The Vineyard. Emma, with her pretty features, bubbly personality, and ease with people, got a job
