Title: Oldie but goodie
Review: I really enjoy using this book as a text for conversation classes. I assign the vocab page, the reading and the script, and then ask questions about the events of the chapter in class he next week. Slowly, as we speak, I begin asking my students the same questions about their own lives (i.e. instead of What's Carlos's favorite subject, What's YOUR favorite subject)The only downfall is that it is an older text, and so the conversation flow is a bit stilted - older words, and no hi tech words at all in each story. Of course, the idiomatic phrases differ as well, but for students wanting a good basic conversation course, low on grammar and high on content, this is a great little book.
