Evergreen is a series of three books (beginner, intermediate, advanced) that have 10 stories each about interesting people, places, and things all around Oregon. The stories come from ESOL News Oregon, a free local news site for students of English as a second language. Each story has a picture, comprehension exercises, and discussion and writing prompts. An appendix contains an answer key.
Why is it called Evergreen? An evergreen tree stays green all year. Similarly, an evergreen story remains interesting for a long time. In other words, it doesn’t quickly become “old news”.
We hope this is a fun way to learn more about Oregon while practicing English.
