Very useful resource for intermediate and advanced students of English.

The first part includes a reading of the classic short story 'The Lottery Ticket' by Anton Chekhov. The listener can also read the English text at the same time of listening. The student has to try to understand the idea of the story. Following the story there will be an episode of 'Jessica's Gems' where Jessica (student of English from Italy) asks John (native English speaker and teacher from the UK) questions on some of the language used in the story. They discuss all matters to do with the English language including grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.
