Pirates of the Caribbean

Posted by Speakeasy News > Friday 19 May 2017 > Ready to Use


In this A1+ article your students will use their speaking and reading skills to travel in the world of Disney’s latest Pirates of the Caribbean film whose UK title Salazar’s Revenge is more explicit than the U.S. Dead Men Don’t Tell Lies.
