Exercises at the back of each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills.

Before, during and after-reading questions test readers' story comprehension and develop vocabulary. Tess of the D'Urbervilles, a Level 6 Reader, is B1+ in the CEFR framework.

The longer text is made up of sentences with up to four clauses, introducing future continuous, reported questions, third conditional, was going to and ellipsis.

The terrible event that follows changes her life forever.
