Description

Perhaps the most important benefit of learning vocabulary like this is that you get a sense of how words are used in different ways and with different meanings when they appear in different contexts. But it should also reduce the number of times you have to look up words in the dictionary and therefore make reading more enjoyable and more effective in expanding your vocabulary.
The stories tell of:

• A doctor attacked on the way to an emergency.
• A young man’s brief encounter with a Hollywood star.
• A clash of superstition and good intentions on Christmas Day.
• The guilty secret behind a stunning photo.
• A small mistake with serious consequences.
• And, finally, a dilemma for our times.
