Ep.74: 10 Classic American Books – My Personal Picks and Why You Should Read Them 📚
•
Today, we’re diving into literature—specifically, 10 classic American books that I think are worth reading. And since I have a master’s degree in English and American literature and culture, I’m not just pulling these titles out of thin air—I’ve actually read them all, thought about them a lot, and now, I get to share my thoughts with you. Also, I love literature and talking about it. These books are great in a way that they are very often referenced throughout the culture and you can also find them for free on the internet (legally) since the copyright continues to apply for 70 years after an artist or creator dies and a lot of the authors are dead for longer than that.

06:42|Today’s episode is going to be very practical, because we are talking about something that can seriously impact your score in PET, FCE and CAE. Even students at higher levels keep repeating the same persistent grammar mistakes. They sneak into your writing, into your speaking, and if you’re stressed, they suddenly resurface and ruin an otherwise perfect answer.

Well, because every time I share something personal, people seem to enjoy it.

15:19|Today, we are mixing the best of both worlds- some grammar and also my personal views on things. Because I am sure everyone is super interested in my ideas, opinions and views. Sometimes I feel guilty and weird about talking about my own stories and opinions, like, who do I think I am? And why should anyone care? So that is why I decided to connect it to a grammar topic, so in case you don’t care, it can be beneficial to you in a different way.
