Dear Mr. S. Harris, Ignore the blob of red in the top left corner. It's jam, not blood, though I don't think I need to tell you the difference. It wasn't your wife's jam the police found on your shoe. . . . I know what it's like. Mine wasn't a woman. Mine was a boy. And I killed him exactly three months ago. Zoe has an unconventional pen pal--Mr. Stuart Harris, a Texas Death Row inmate and convicted murderer. But then again, Zoe has an unconventional story to tell. A story about how she fell for two boys, betrayed one of them, and killed the other. Hidden away in her backyard shed in the middle of the night with a jam sandwich in one hand and a pen in the other, Zoe gives a voice to her heart and her fears after months of silence. Mr. Harris may never respond to Zoe's letters, but at least somebody will know her story--somebody who knows what it's like to kill a person you love. Only through her unusual confession can Zoe hope to atone for her mistakes that have torn lives apart, and work to put her own life back together again.

영어 회화가 쉬운 일이 아니다. 외국인과 영어로 대화를 할 때 여러가지 표현들이 머리에서 뱅뱅 도는데, 막상 입으로는 나오지를 않고, 가슴이 답답해지고 진땀 내며 고생하게 되는 경우를 경험하게 된다. 이러한 일은 영어 회화를 암기위주로 공부를 많이 하는 경우에 주로 발생한다. 영어 회화는 암기가 아니라 반복이어야 하며, 공부가 아니라 연습이 있어야 한다. 따라서 소통 영어의 학습은 암기보다는 반복, 한꺼번에 오랜 시간보다는 매일 조금씩, 부담 없이 재미를 붙일 수 있게 하는 방식이 되어야한다. 이에 따라 "소통 영어 퀴즈"는 생활속에서 마주치는 다양한 영어 표현을 퀴즈 형식을 통하여 효과적으로 익힘으로써 영어 소통에 자신감을 가지고, 깊이 있는 영어 대화를 구사할 수 있도록 사례 중심으로 구성하였다.
