Учила английский несколько лет, прошли не один учебник, мой уровень - средний. Хотя названий много этих уровней.. в общем свободно общаюсь. Но когда дело доходит до умных разговоров, тут я могу не понять собеседника.
Уважаемые участники сообщества, посоветуйте какой-нибудь учебник(и) которые помогли бы значительно повысить уровень языка, не бизнес-уровень, но ближе к нему, не разговорный английский, а более литературный что-ли.. в общем толковый, практичный учебник, а то купишь и ерунда..
Заранее благодарна)

Можете подсказать рассказы\сказки, где употребляется основная база слов? Те, что чаще используются. Дело в том, что этой самой базы у меня и нет - до седьмого класса не слишком хорошо преподавали язык, а интерес проснулся буквально год назад.
Как можно этот пробел восстановить? Понятно, что заучивать, но откуда слова брать?
В общем, посоветуйте, пожалуйста, книжки)
Заранее спасибо.
Like many other American cities, San Francisco has got some unusual tourist attractions. For example, 250 Valencia Street, the home of the Levi Strauss company.
The company first started making jeans in San Francisco in 1853. After the 1906 earthquake, they had to move into their present building.
Levi Strauss was born in Buttenheim, Bavaria. He emigrated to the United States in 1847 when he was 18. When the gold rush began, Levi Strauss went to California.
He planned to start a business in California with a relative. They wanted to open a shop selling material. Unfortunately, a lot of the material was stolen on the way. And Levi Strauss had to sell some of it because he was so poor. The business was not successful. So Levi Strauss started to dig for gold. The other workers laughed at the holes in Levi Strauss´s trousers. So he took some tent canvas to a tailor´s and asked him to make him a pair of trousers. Soon everybody wanted to have canvas trousers.
Levi Strauss was in business again. He had found his own kind of gold.At first his jeans were word by gold diggers and cowboys and not by just about everybody until 1954 when the young American actor, James Dean, wore jeans in the famous film East of Eden
Just think, if the other gold diggers hadn´t laughed at Levi Strauss, would you be wearing jeans today?
There was a king who had twelve beautiful daughters. They slept in twelve beds all in one room and when they went to bed, the doors were shut and locked up. However, every morning their shoes were found to be quite worn through as if they had been danced in all night. Nobody could find out how it happened, or where the princesses had been.
So the king made it known to all the land that if any person could discover the secret and find out where it was that the princesses danced in the night, he would have the one he liked best to take as his wife, and would be king after his death. But whoever tried and did not succeed, after three days and nights, they would be put to death.

Товарищи изучающие английский, нужен ваш совет.
Готовлюсь к ЕГЭ, сдаю в этом году. Знания неплохие, занимаюсь также с репетитором.
Хочу сама немного подтянуть грамматику. Подскажите материалы, где можно найти толковые задания на отработку разных тем. Желательно не в интернете, а именно чтобы пойти, купить и решать спокойно дома.
Заранее спасибо :)
Итак, в эти выходные предлагаю вам для чтения небольшой рассказ С. Моэма "Человек со шрамом". Текст адаптирован до уровня Advanced. Приятного чтения! И не забываем о комментариях!
It was on account of the scar that I first noticed him, for it ran, broad and red, from his temple to his chin. This scar spoke of a terrible wound and I wondered whether it had been caused by a sabre or by a fragment of shell. It was unexpected on that round, fat and good-humoured face. He had small features and his face went oddly with his large and fat body. He was a powerful man of more than common height. I never saw him in anything, but a very shabby grey suit, a khaki shirt and an old sombrero. He was far from clean. He used to come into the Palace Hotel at Guatemala City every day at cocktail time and tried to sell lottery tickets. I never saw anyone buy, but now and then I saw him offered a drink. He never refused it. He walked among the tables, pausing at each table, with a little smile offered the lottery tickets and when no notice was taken of him with the same smile passed on. I think he was the most part a little drunk.
Очень нужна помощь. Правда вопрос немного нестандартный для этого сообщества.
Я не могу заставить себя учить английский. Совсем скоро мне нужно писать тест, а я всё ещё ничего не делаю. После того, как написала репетиционное тестирование, причём я его, как мне кажется, завалила, перестало вообще что-либо получаться. Просто впадаю в ступор, когда вижу английский текст. Постоянно ищу какие-то глупые отговорки, лишь бы не делать его здесь и сейчас.
