An original cartoon in simple intermediate English


from Linguapress.com

MacBrain and MacBrawn, our friends from Scotland.....  
Cartoon 3.  At the sales.

Our heroes live in a small town somewhere near Glasgow, in Scotland. MacBrain teaches maths in a high school, and MacBrawn...  well it's never been quite clear what he does, but he is one of the non-teaching staff in the same high school. The two share a house, and will go on doing so until - one day perhaps - MacBrain finds the lady of his life....

Teachers' notes

Using story cartoons in class.

Cartoons like this make excellent supports for creative language work.
