Az egyik legnagyobb személyes kedvenc - The Story of the Sandman. A többrészes sorozat részeit a következő hetek folyamán teszem közzé, általában hétvége körül. Az egyes fejezetekből én különféle feladatokat készítettem, melyeket le is lehet tölteni az eredeti pdf formátumban. Ez a sorozat 14+ életkorra és intermediate felett ajánlott. A kiemelt (in bold) szavak vagy kifejezések az általam fontosnak tartott szókincset jelölik, de ezen mindenki módosíthat kedve szerint. Egy ilyen feladat általában kitölt egy 45 perces alkalmat, + HW. Természetes fel is lehet osztani több alkalomra. Akkor indul a történet!
