Find books to read using Ilya Franc's Method in the attachments below!

Метод чтения Ильи Франка — это специальный способ адаптации текста, который способствует пассивному освоению языка. Его можно использовать либо в качестве поддержки, дополнения к разговорной практике, либо просто для пассивного освоения языка (если цель, например, научиться читать книги на том или ином языке).

Как построены такие тексты?

Вот, например, книга «Путешествия Гулливера». Если открыть любую страницу этой книги, то можно увидеть, что текст повести разбит на небольшие отрывки. Сначала идет адаптированный отрывок — текст с вкрапленным в него дословным русским переводом и небольшим лексико-грамматическим комментарием. Затем следует тот же текст, но уже неадаптированный, без подсказок.

Major Characters

Pip - is an orphaned boy raised by his domineering sister and her kind husband, and his life and expectations make for the drama of the novel. A mysterious benefactor enables Pip to escape a destiny as the village blacksmith, and he travels to London as a teenager to become a 'gentleman.' Pip's perception of his life and prospects (especially his prospects with Estella) change dramatically when he's twenty-three, when he learns that his benefactor is not a rich old lady, but a common convict. Ultimately, Pip comes to appreciate the convict as a benefactor and a friend

Miss Havisham - a bitter old woman, whose life effectively stopped when she was abandoned on her wedding day. Half a century after this disappointment, Miss Havisham still wears a yellowing wedding gown, and has made it her life's purpose to raise Estella, whom she's adopted, as a cruel-hearted woman who'll break the hearts of men. Miss Havisham is rich too, and deceives Pip by implying that she's his benefactor. Near the end of the novel she realizes her cruelties are nearly unforgivable, although she dies not long after this realization
