Title: The Secret TreehouseLevel: Intermediate (B2)


#Story :

Jack returns to his small hometown after many years, only to find himself drawn back to the treehouse where he, Mark, and Claire used to play. The treehouse was once a place of happiness, but it holds dark secrets from their past. As Jack explores the decaying structure, he finds a letter from Claire, revealing a terrible event that happened when they were children. Claire and Mark were involved in something dangerous that resulted in a man’s death, a secret they hid all these years. Jack confronts Mark and learns that the man’s death was accidental, but the guilt drove Claire away. Now, Jack must decide what to do with the truth that’s haunted them for so long.


#Vocabulary :

  1. Decaying – slowly breaking down or rotting.
  2. Haunted – troubled or disturbed by a memory or feeling.
  3. Guilt – the feeling of having done something wrong or bad.
  4. Revelation – a surprising and previously unknown fact that is made known.
  5. Confront – to face or deal with something unpleasant.


#Grammar Focus:

  3. Narrative Techniques

  5. Reported Speech
  6. Used when retelling what someone else said. For example: "Jack asked Mark what happened, and Mark told him about the accident."
