If want to practice your English, read is one of the best ways, I recommend Cowboys in Alaska, it's a small book with seven little stories and some exercises.
The first story is "The Ski Race" about a boy and his father that love ski, the boy learn to ski since he was so young and now with thirteen years old he wants to be a ski champion, but he find some problems in his way.
The second story is "Promise You'll Never Tell", about a father that go to his childhood with his son and wife, he hope to tell his son all he enjoy in the childhood when he was young, but the times change and the father is so old, he thinks that it will be never like it used to be, but he's so pessimist.
The third story is "The Antique Table", one of funniest story of the book, that's all about a mistake, but a very funny mistake.
The fourth story is "Pies, Plates, and Indians" very funny, too. I just understand what happen in the end.
The fifth story is "The Chicken Thieves", the characters do things that I really think that old women like then would do in this situation, a bit funny, too.
The next, finally, is "Cowboys in Alaska", they plan to trip from Texas to Alaska to sell some cattle and make a lot of money, but they find a lot, LOT, of problems in this trip.
The last one story is "The Mystery of The Strange Suitcase", a man called Arthur tell his friends about a situation that he run, and his friends said that he is a foolish because if he stop he could be in a adventure, so they start a game imagining the story if Arthur stop. I love this game.
