1.0 out of 5 stars
I am extremely negative about Penguin Readers' reader for this book,
This review is from: The Testament (Penguin Readers, Level 6) (Paperback)
Review of the "Testament" by Penguin Readers.
I am sorry to say, that the so called "artistic" reading of the text by unknown reader gives me the great disappointment. I am a student in Canada and studying English. I bought a few books with CD-s in order to use them to repeat after the reader, and realised that Penguin Readers doesn't understand the goals of the means to study English pronunciation this way. There is no room to use changed voice in this case, like for kids listening the fairy tales. What I actually need and why I paid for the books, is: to HEAR THE NATURAL VOICE of the NATIVE SPEACKER and imitate him. How can I hear the natural voice and how can I repeat maximum close, if I cannot catch the articulation; moreover, this kind of articulation is something different than I need to learn?! Why should I learn the distorted voice?? Whose unprofessional ignorance allowed to produce the books FOR READING(!!!) with the reader acting apes instead of careful passing the art of articulating English sounds and words, as it is in all the other textbooks of this kind?? I remember there were some books of Penguin Readers with CD-s with the real and proper reading; I just enjoyed working with them. I greatly improved at that time, thanks to the professionals of Penguin Readers of THAT TIME that made their books so nice and qualitative. But this aping voice of this reader... this is just the insane failure for this kind of books: I would not recommend anybody to buy them unless Penguin Readers returns to the professional ENGLEASH TEACHER scoring, as it was before, and let their actual reader go (somewhere else: maybe, to score cartoons, if not swip the streets). I don't see any other way for Penguin Readers to make the quality books in a future: if guy does not understand where he is and what he is doing... why should I pay for his unprofessionalism?? Save your money, don't buy the book: the reader is terrible.
