A CHRISTMAS CHAROL 

BY 

CHARLES DICKENS!

Check you class exercise by reading the following summary.

A christmas carol 2 from teteg662

For us, as teachers, it is a good way to face you with other people talking in English. I am convinced that it helps you learn the language and improve your skills!
The dramatization of the actors will help you understand the play; don't worry about the words you don't understand but focus on the story and the plot!
