Travelling Through Time - Intermediate [antikvár]

History Lesson On a fine July afternoon, in a typical London secondary school, a class of students had just finished a history lesson. All of the students had left the classroom except for a boy and a girl, who were talking with their teacher, Mr Johnson. "Sophie," he began, "how long did you spend on your homework last week?" "About an hour," the girl replied. "Did I get a good mark?" "No, you didn't. I asked you to write about the most exciting event of the last 2,000 years. But you wrote about the 1966 World Cup!" said Mr Johnson. "Couldn't you think of anything more exciting? You weren't even born in 1966!" To the reader: Welcome to the DK ELT Graded Readers!
