Hit Replay: The Power of Stories | Book talk

Ever wish you could redo an English conversation, say things differently, or finally remember that perfect word for your advanced English class? I know I do!    Life might not allow for a reset button, but what if it did? For years, I dismissed video games as a waste of time, until I read Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. This novel changed my perspective, showing me how video games can be rich stories, and offer do-overs when real life can’t.   For your English listening practice this week, we’ll explore this novel and its themes of friendship, creativity, and the power of stories in books and video games. I’ll also touch on how English language learning is a form of play, where we should risk making mistakes in English.    And if you want to practice writing in English, you can tune in for tips on how to write a book review.
