This week we're going to learn how to make a written/oral report about fiction ( novel/short story). I'm sharing two versions of Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost; a full version for upper intermediate level ( B2) and an adapted one for pre-intermidiate ( B1). I also include a synopsis about the author and his short story and a mind map with suggestions for a three-minute-talk.
