Hi! I hope you enjoy your FREE use of these original stories and dialogues, using your PC, Mac, or your
mobile device. They are for Beginner and Intermediate Level English learners. Many stories have
Vocabulary, Cloze, Scrambled Sentences, Crosswords, and Dictation exercises. Most stories have audio.
Many stories have two audio speeds—normal speed and slow speed. . . . Teachers: Feel free to copy,
print, edit, and otherwise reasonably use eslyes.com stories, exercises, etc. for classroom distribution. . . .
Dec. 21, 2016: ALL audio files are now downloadable, at each story page and elsewhere. Also, to
download the audio, you can simply click on the 3 dots on the audio players. The Flesch-Kincaid
Grade Level (also see FREE Readability Formulas) accompanies EVERY story. And, if you like
the New York City stories, follow the links, above and below, to where you can buy my 99¢ e‐books. . . .
November 26, 2018: For some of my pages, where it says "Bottom of this page" so you can just click to
the bottom of that page instantly, the link is broken. I have NO idea what the problem is (the same exact
link works on some pages, but not on other pages). I'll fix it eventually, I hope. ... MARCH 17, 2019: Slow

of Contents (TOC). And a SUPER thanks to Support at ICD Soft, my web host, for fixing all the recent
problems (http to https, slow audio, favicons, Mixed Content, and more). ... MARCH 22, 2019: 'Search
Images' at top left of each story is working again! APRIL 12, 2019: Thank you, Cindy Juel and
students, for pointing out the crossword error in Link 3!
