Alice and her elder sister were sitting under the trees. Her sister was reading a book, but Alice had nothing to do. Alice was beginning to get very bored. She looked into her sister's book several times, but it had no pictures or conversations in it. "And what is the use of this book," thought Alice, "if there is no pictures or conversations in it?" She tried to think of something to do, but it was a very hot day and she felt sleepy. She was still sitting and thinking when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran past her. You may think there is nothing really strange about seeing a rabbit. And Alice was not very surprised when the Rabbit said, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!" Perhaps it was a little strange, Alice thought later, but at that time she was not surprised. But then the Rabbit took a watch out of its pocket, looked at it, and hurried on. Otto-Classics Graded Readers Series are outstanding classics written by famous writers. The language and vocabulary in the books are controlled and simplified by specialist ELT authors and compilers according to Common European Framework so that they can be easily understood by new learners of English. Depending on the eight levels from A1 to B2+, the longer stories are divided into a number of chapters and every chapter has its own activities. Some of the activities in the books are meant to be done in pairs. You may work with a partner to solve problems and design projects that reflect not only your own thinking but also new ideas you and your mates will discover by working in groups.
