Extensive reading improves fluency and there is a real need in the ELT classroom for motivating, contemporary graded material that will instantly appeal to students. The Devil Wears Prada is based on the 2006 film about life on a top fashion magazine in New York, starring Meryl Streep.

Welcome to the dollhouse, baby When Andrea first sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows nothing. She''s never heard of the world''s most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor, Miranda Priestly. But she''s going to be Miranda''s assistant, a job millions of girls would die for. A year later, she knows altogether too much: That it''s a sacking offence to wear anything lower than a three-inch heel to work. But that there''s always a fresh pair of Manolos for you in the accessories cupboard. That Miranda believes Hermes scarves are disposable, and you must keep a lifetime supply on hand at all times. That eight stone is fat. That you can charge cars, manicures, anything at all to the Runway account, but you must never, ever, leave your desk, or let Miranda''s coffee get cold. And that at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, when your boyfriend''s dumping you because you''re always at work, and your best friend''s just been arrested, if Miranda phones, you jump. Most of all, Andrea knows that Miranda is a monster who makes Cruella de Vil look like a fluffy bunny. But also that this is her big break, and it''s going to be worth it in the end. Isn''t it?

Twenty-seven-year-old Bette Robinson is fed up with the long hours and her obnoxious boss at her investment banking firm, so she quits and lands a job with New York''s hottest PR firm. It seems like her dream job, but could there be a downside in getting paid to party?

Andrea Sachs er småbyjenta som drømmer om redaktørjobb i New York. Hun får jobb som assistent for sjefredaktør Miranda i det fasjonable magasinet Runway (les Vogue), og anser seg for å være et skritt nærmere målet. Det hun ikke vet er at hun har fått jobben fra helvete, med djevelen som sjef. Miranda krever full service 24 timer i døgnet. Det er oppsigelsesgrunn å bruke stiletthæler som er lavere enn 7,5 cm, og å veie 50 kilo er å bli stemplet som tykk. Boken er filmatisert med Meryl Streep som sjefredaktør Miranda.

A small-town girl fresh out of an Ivy League college lands a job at a prestigious fashion magazine, but wonders if the glamorous perks are worth working for the editor from hell.
