Ebenezer Scrooge is mean and unpleasant but will he change when the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, haunts him on Christmas Eve?  Scrooge is visited by three spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future, showing him his mistakes and leading to a change in his outlook. Charles Dickens tells this incredible story in fascinating language full of adjectives, as well as with real humanity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeoff says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I chose this book because it is so well known, through movies and the theatre, but have you read the original in English?  The themes of love, kindness and generosity means it is a positive, uplifting story, and still relevant today.  We read the original text, which is short.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnly 8 places available.  Click Add to Cart to reserve your place.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/3111\/9814\/files\/trust-badges_with_background_480x480.png?v=1637237914\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.5781%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 76.4219%;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: British English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: people familiar with reading in English - Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eText:  Original text \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 31\u003cspan\u003e,000 words\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 558.176px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 192.182px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.4674%; height: 192.182px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDates \u0026amp; Time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.5326%; height: 192.182px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMondays from 23rd November - 21st December\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17.30 CET (Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Rome \u0026amp; most EU)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e16.30 (UTC+0\/GMT+0) London, UK, Portugal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18.30 Greece, Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18.30 Turkey, Saudi Arabia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11.30 EST (New York\/Boston)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12.30 \u003cspan\u003eBrasília BRT, (UTC -3:00)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.4674%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.5326%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e 18+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 55.1989px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.4674%; height: 55.1989px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnline class size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.5326%; height: 55.1989px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum 8 participants, on Zoom, using break-out rooms for increased speaking and discussion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 165.199px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.4674%; height: 165.199px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you learn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.5326%; height: 165.199px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo confidently speak and debate with others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo overcome any gaps by paraphrasing or rephrasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo eradicate errors in grammar and pronunciation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo develop and extend areas of high level vocabulary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo be immersed in the natural patterns of English syntax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo gain a deeper understanding of cultural issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo perfect \u0026amp; enhance your English through summarising\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 125.994px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 18.4674%; height: 125.994px;\"\u003eYour teacher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.5326%; height: 125.994px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeoff Hardy-Gould, BSc, MBA, CTEFLA, DTEFLA.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver 20 years' experience of UK language schools. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpeaker at:   2026 IATEFL Conference; 2025 Literature SIG Conference; 2024 IATEFL Conference; 2023 IATEFL TechLit!
