EL本棚紹介(Special Edition) Oxford Reading Tree Series

By joshua in EL Book introductions　EL本棚の紹介

[This is a special edition of the EL Bookshelf Introduction series] _______ Oxford Reading Tree is a series of books used for extensive reading (多読). The books are meant for children and are very easy to read. You can read one book in one minute. You should write down all of the books that you read, and read as many as you can. They have nice pictures, too. You will feel good when you read a lot of books. You can read the whole series. 『Oxford Reading Tree』というのは多読専用のブック・シリーズです。この本は本来、子供向けでとても読みやすいです。一冊は一分もかからないくらい短いものです。読み終わったものを記録するがいいし、できるだけたくさんを読みつくしましょう。きれいな挿絵もありますよ。たくさん読み終わるとモチベーションも気持ちも上がります。シリーズ全体の完読を目指しましょう。 These books may not be taken from the English Lounge. You can read them at the table or on a sofa. 残念ながら、このシリーズは禁帯出とさせていただきています。イングリッシュ・ラウンジ内のテーブルやソファーで読んでください。 …
