Oxford Bookworms Library Level 1: The Lottery Winner

Classics, modern fiction, non-fiction and more. Written for secondary and adult students the Oxford Bookworms Library has seven reading levels from A1-C1 of the CEFR. Everybody wants to win the lottery. A million pounds, perhaps five million, even ten million. How wonderful! Emma Carter buys a ticket for the lottery every week, and puts the ticket carefully in her bag. She is seventythree years old and does not have much money. She would like to visit her sonin Australia,but aeroplane tickets are very expensive. Jason Williams buys lottery tickets every week too. But he is not a very nice young man. He steals things. He hits old ladies in the street, snatches their bags, and runs away... CEFR A1/A2 Word count 5,655"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of story."  David R. Hill, Director of the Edinburgh Project on Extensive Reading.
