How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The home page lists the newest stories, each one offered at level one, level two and level three. A story at level three runs to three short paragraphs of plain English, closes with a few difficult words and their definitions, and carries a question to answer. A video version reads the text aloud. The page also sets out how to use the levels with a word-count test.

How to use this resource:

Take the level that matches the number of words you know, read two stories a day, and come back to the previous day's stories to see which new words have stayed with you. Reading the same story at the level above shows you how the same facts are carried by longer sentences and a fuller vocabulary. Listen to the video while you follow the text, then listen to it again without reading.
