C2 level Reading – If I could tell you just one thing



  • Let’s read the introduction and maybe the first chapter together in our first lesson with this book.
  • After reading the introduction answer: What is the book about? What does the writer talk about at the beginning and why? What is the cairn a symbol of? 

 

  • There are about 60 different chapters, each about one famous person.
  • After reading each chapter answer the following four questions:

 

  • 1. The main piece of advice from the famous person.
  • 2. What this tells you about his or her personality.
  • 3. What you think of the advice.
  • 4. What you learnt about the famous person: (nationality, career, interests, hobbies, achievements).
