Short stories and an easy atmosphere to practise speaking and expand your vocabulary Let’s put the kettle on and let’s have a relaxed chat about a nice story. This is the idea at the basis of our book club for busy people. 1. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, F. Scott Fitzgerald F. Scott Fitzgerald was an American writer. Both his life and his novels and short stories depict the spirit of the so-called Jazz Age of the 1920s. It was a period of economic growth and cultural dynamism, in which jazz music flourished.

I love IDIOMS (pronunciation: /ˈɪdɪəm/). They are fun, imaginative, visual. If you want to level up your English, you really need to learn a bunch of them. You’ll soon realise that they are very common: they can be found in informal conversation as well as in more formal contexts. Most of the time their literal meaning changes completely, but sometimes – if you’re lucky – they have a counterpart in another language you already know. ...

Have you ever been to Tokyo? – Yes, I have. When did you go? – I went there 2 years ago. We use the present perfect (I have been) when we talk about a life experience and we don’t specify when it happened. On the other hand, we use the past simple (I went) when we talk about that specific past experience (and we often give a time reference, for example: yesterday, two weeks ago, last year…). ...
