When I head to the beach, I always pack a story that feeds both my imagination and soul. My go-to The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
This book is like a warm ocean breeze—calming, inspiring, and filled with deeper meaning. With its simple yet poetic language, it’s the perfect companion for a sunny day by the sea. The story follows a shepherd chasing his dreams, reminding us that life is a journey, not just a destination.
As an English tutor on Cafetalk, I actually recommend this book to my students—especially those taking my:
-
“Speak English with Confidence: Themed Conversation Practice” for real-world discussions
-
“World Chat Café: Culture, Customs, & Conversation” for global storytelling
-
“Talk Like a Star! Daily English with Celebrities” for expressive language use
The Alchemist is also great for students in my “English for Curious Minds: Debate & Discuss” course—it opens the door to conversations about purpose, fear, risk, and dreams.
Whether you're a learner or a lifelong reader, I’d love to know:
