Do you get books from a public library in your town or even in your school library? In many remote areas of the world, there are no library buildings. In many countries, books are delivered in unusual way: by bus, boat, elephant, donkey, train, even by wheelbarrow. Why would librarians go to the trouble of packing books on the backs of elephants or driving miles to deliver books by bus? Because, as one librarian in Azerbaijan says, "Books are as important to us as air or water!" This is the intriguing photo essay, a celebration of books, readers, and libraries.

Writers are like other people, except for at least one important difference. Other people have daily thoughts and feelings, notice this sky or that smell, but they don't do much about it. Not writers. Writers react. And writers need a place to record those reactions. That's what a writer's notebook is for. It gives you a place to write down what makes you angry or sad or amazed, to write down what you noticed and don't want to forget . . . .

Dieser Band nimmt Rücksicht auf die verschiedenen Arten von Leseverständnis: schnelles Lesen (Skimming/Scanning) einerseits, detailgenaues Lesen (careful reading) andererseits. Der Aufbau des Buches ermöglicht das schrittweise Heranführen der Lernenden an die Bewältigung längerer Texte unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Textsorten (Dialog, Anweisung, Artikel, Geschichte, E-Mail u. a.). Die Aufgabenstellungen erfolgt in unterschiedlichen Schwierigkeitsgraden und in verschiedenen Testformaten (multiple choice, true/false, Einfüllen, Verbinden etc.). Schwierige Vokabel werden beim Text angegeben. Mit dem beiliegenden Key kann man sich selbst kontrollieren.
