Learn English with Short Stories

Science Fiction, Section 11

By: Zhanna Hamilton

Narrated by: Larry Anderson

The Learn English with Short Stories series does not need to be listened to in order, as all of the stories are independent from one another. This eleventh section includes two thrilling science fiction stories. Each unique science fiction story comes with vocabulary and definitions before and during the tale. This guide also offers two multiple-choice vocabulary exercises after each story, allowing you to practice your newly learned terms and idioms.

"Resisting the Blue Chip" John thought his days of belonging to the government would be over as soon as his enlistment ended. When he receives a job proposition from the CIA, he ignores it. He soon finds out the proposition is not an offer - it is a sentence. He has been chosen for the Blue Chip Program - and they won't take no for an answer.

"Unofficial Space Captain" What would you do if an alien race killed your best friend? Young cadet, Xandra, is struck with the reality that her trusted colleague has fallen victim to yet another attack from a ruthless alien race. In her struggle to deal with his loss, she finds a bold, yet risky way to avenge her friend.
