Hardy-Gould J., Marco Polo and the Silk Road. stage 2(700 headwords) — 2010 (Oxford bookworms library) (Factfiles)

For a child in the great city of Venice in the thirteenth century, there could be nothing better than the stories of sailors. There were stories of strange animals, wonderful cities, sweet spices, and terrible wild deserts where a traveller could die. One young boy listened, waited, and dreamed. Perhaps one day his father and uncle would return. Perhaps he too could travel with them to great markets in faraway places. For young Marco Polo, later the greatest traveller of his time, a dangerous, exciting world was waiting...

Hardy-Gould J., Deserts. stage 1(400 headwords) — 2009 (Oxford bookworms library) (Factfiles)

Look at a desert, and what do you see? Nothing much - just a hot, flat, dry place, with lots of sand, and no animals or people. But look again. There are deserts with mountains, and deserts with snow. There are millions of people - some live in towns, and some move across the desert all the time. There are plants that live for hundreds of years, and animals that can sleep for months under the ground, When you look closely, the desert is a wonderful place, full of exciting things...

Hardy-Gould J., Henry VIII and His Six Wives — 2008 (Oxford Bookworms Library. Stage 2 (700 headwords))

King Henry the Eighth of England was famous for many things, but he was also famous because he had six wives. He was not a kind husband. People say that when he was looking for a new wife, careful fathers took their daughters away from the palace. They did not want the King to choose their daughter to be the next Queen, because some of his Queens had very short and unhappy lives. Why did King Henry divorce two wives, and kill two others? What were his queens really like? Catherine Parr, the sixth wife, lived on after the King's death. One day she goes back to the palace of Whitehall and finds a box of old letters written to the King - one from each of the first five wives. She sits down to read them to her young maid, Margaret. The first letter is from the daughter of the King of Spain, Katherine of Aragon, who was Henry's wife for twenty-four years. She died alone and sad and friendless...
