The Piano (Graded reader level 2)

Where does music come from? Is it something that you leam? Or is it simply given to you — and nobody knows where it comes from? The young boy in this story is not good at school. He is not good at learning words or numbers. He likes to sing with the other boys and girls; but he is not good at singing. He does not get the first job that he tries to get. He is a nice boy, but he is not good at anything special. And then he finds a piano. He also finds that he can play the piano. So, perhaps we can say that he does not find music, but that music finds him. If you enjoyed my video please SUBSCRIBE and SHARE .

New Yorkers short stories (Graded reader level 2)

What makes one city different from another city? Is it the buildings, the weather, the people? It is the people who make a city, and to know a city, you must know its people. You must know what makes them laugh and cry, know the small details of their everyday lives. What kind of people lived in New York at the beginning of the twentieth century? Are New Yorkers different now from a hundred years ago? Cities grow bigger with the years, new buildings are put up and old buildings are pulled down, horses are replaced by cars and buses, fashions change. But people do not change. The New Yorkers in these stories are very different from each other, but the hopes of a tramp are as important as the hopes of a lawyer; the love of a waitress is as exciting as the love of an actress. And we see that people's hopes and fears and dreams do not change with the years. If you enjoyed my video please SUBSCRIBE and SHARE .
