Seeking swine flu materials for beginners?
 
Helloo---
 
I �ve checked out the few WSs here on the site as well as the work at  Breaking News English (http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/0904/090428-swine_flu.html),
but I �m looking for some material more suitable for beginners in basic language.
 
Any suggestions?  Thanks, Brooke

I usually adapt the articles to my students �level, by changing some words and the verb tenses.

@ Douglas     Yes, I did.  Unfortunately, the level of English found in Reuters or other news sites is too high for the students that I �m teaching.

I was hoping to find that someone had used some beginners �-appropriate material on the subject that they could recommend.
 
I guess I �ll go with gloriawpai �s recommendation and just try to tailor something for my own use.
 
Thanks, Brooke
