The Busy Saturday | Bookiverse

CEFR A2 Level

This book is part of the
Extensive Reading Program

Last Saturday, I decided I really needed to sort out my bedroom. It was a complete mess!

I woke up early and got up straight away. First, I needed to tidy up. I picked up all the clothes from the floor and put them away in the cupboard or in the laundry basket. I made my bed.

Then I decided to go through my old books and magazines. There were so many! I took them all off the bookshelf. I looked through them and decided which ones to keep and which ones to give away. I put the ones I didn't want into a box.

Next, my desk; it was covered in papers! I needed to sort them out. I threw away old notes and put important documents into files. I also wiped down the desk surface.

It was nearly lunchtime. I went downstairs and helped my mum wash up the breakfast dishes. After lunch, I went back to my room.

I saw my favourite poster had fallen down. I needed to put it back up. I found some tape and carefully stuck it back on the wall.

In the afternoon, my friend called and asked if I wanted to hang out. I really wanted to, but I hadn't finished my room. "I can't come out right now," I said. "I'm trying to tidy up. Maybe later?"

I carried on working. I even cleaned the window. Finally, around 4 o'clock, my room looked much better. Everything was put away, the desk was clear, and the floor was clean. I felt tired but pleased.

I called my friend back. "Hi! I've finished! Do you want to meet up now?"

"Sure!" he said. "Come round to my house."

I got changed quickly, turned off my bedroom light, and went out. It felt good to relax after working so hard all day. And it was nice to know my room was finally tidy!

Reading Tips: How to Get the Most from This Book

Read for meaning. Focus on understanding the main ideas rather than every single word. Encountering unfamiliar vocabulary is normal — use context to help you interpret meaning.

Keep a steady flow. Try not to stop too often. Reading continuously improves comprehension and helps you follow the development of ideas more naturally.

Listen and read together. Use the audio version while reading. This strengthens understanding, improves pronunciation, and develops your sense of rhythm and intonation in English.

Read regularly. Short, consistent reading sessions are more effective than occasional long ones. Re-reading sections you enjoy can further reinforce learning.

Engage with the text. Think about what you read. Asking simple questions and reflecting on ideas deepens comprehension and improves retention.

Extensive Reading Program - A2 Level

The Extensive Reading Program helps learners improve their English step by step, from level A1 to level C2. At the A2 level, students read simple texts that are a little longer and more interesting. They learn to understand the main ideas and talk about them with more confidence.

Reading regularly helps students learn new words. For this reason, the books, articles, and stories in this program are carefully written to include useful words and expressions for A2 learners. This helps students learn vocabulary naturally while they read.

Students can use this program by themselves or with a teacher in class. The levels make it easy to see progress, feel proud of improvement, and continue learning English through reading.
