The book I read today is London. Generally, the book is quite easy to read. There are few embedded clauses, and sentences are simple in structure length as about 10 words.
There are some much longer sentences, but most of those are lists or have easy-to-understand clauses such as "because" clauses. The vocabulary is quite simple, with few unknown words that learners will need to look up in the dictionary. But the books do have quite a lot of information and the number of words is fairly large. Thus, these books are recommended for learners who are aiming to progress beyond very short and simple books such Usborne First Reading or Oxford Reading Tree.
The book consists of nine chapters: This is London!, In the beginning, Visiting the city, Some places to go, Westminster, Shops and eating, Going out, Museums and galleries, and Places and parades.
Chapter 7, Going out, describes the theaters, music and sport of London. London's West End has some of the best theatres in the world. And you can wonderful music and singing from all over the world at the Royal Opera House. You can listen to jazz musicians, Ronnie Scott's Club, too. Some of the most famous English football clubs are in there.
Overall, the book was very interesting and useful for me. My knowledge of London was very limited, and the book gave me of useful information and made me want to visit London myself. As mentioned above, this book and other books in the Factfles sub-series maybe a useful next step for learners who have read mainly very simple books.
