Dear 1B2 students,
Christmas holidays are near and I´ve prepared some exercises about a very interesting book that I´d like you to read. You can get a handout in the photocopy room so you just have to ask the women downstairs for a copy whenever you can (it´ll be quite cheap, 1.65€, but I can´t do copies for eveybody).
You can take your time and read as you feel like, there are varied exercises for each chapter and the key for you to check when you finish each one.
It´s something to help you with your reading comprehension and consequently it´ll help you to prepare the reading exam . Anyway, the important thing is that you enjoy!
I´m not sure about the book shop where you can buy it but it´s very well-known so I don´t think you find problems to get it. In fact, I´ve been arranging with El Corte Inglés in order that they get some copies of the book.
You can also get it in the links below:

Irish writer John Boyne's fourth novel is the first he has written for children. It's a touching tale of an odd friendship between two boys in horrendous circumstances and a reminder of man's capacity for inhumanity.
