Romeo and Juliet
Shakespeare
Many years ago in Verona, Italy, there were two families.
‘We are the Capulets.’
‘We are the Montagues.’
These families are always fighting. The Montagues have a son, Romeo. The Capuletshave a
daughter, Juliet.
One night the Capulets have a party and Romeo goes. He meets Juliet and they fall in
love. Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, sees Romeo and is very angry. ‘He’s
a Montague! Get him!’
‘Oh Romeo, why are you a Montague?’
Romeo and Juliet talk and decide to get married.
They know that their families will be very angry so they go to Friar Lawrence and aremarried in
secret.
The next day, Tybalt sees Romeo. He is still angry with Romeo and wants to fight him.
Romeo doesn’t want to fight but his best friend, Mercutio, does.‘If you
won’t fight him, I will!’
Mercutio fights Tybalt. Tybalt kills Mercutio! Romeo is so upset he fights Tybalt and kills him too!
The Prince of Verona is very angry and sends Romeo away. Juliet goes to FriarLawrence for help.

‘Here is a special drink. You will sleep for two days. Your family will think you are deadbut you will
wake up. Then you and Romeo can be free together.’
Friar Lawrence sends Romeo a letter to tell him the plan. But Romeo doesn’t get the
message. He hears that Juliet is dead!
Romeo is so upset he buys some poison and goes to see Juliet.
‘Now I will stay with you forever.’
Too late, Juliet wakes up! She sees what happened.
‘Oh no! You didn’t leave any poison for me but here is your knife.’

COMPARATIVE & SUPERLATIVE forms of the adjectives in the box.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the trip to Vienna that we paid for at your travel agency
in July 2012. First of all, the journey took (1)........ than it should. We spent 14 hours on
the bus, not 8.
Secondly, the hotel was (2) ..... than your agents told us. The double room cost 100
euros per night and not 75.
We also hoped to hear some (3) ..... things from the guide than the information we had
in the trip brochure. In fact, he did not talk much at all as he was over 80. We think he
was the (4) ...... guide we have ever met.
Finally, the (5) ...... thing about the trip was the food at the hotel. It was not fresh. It
was often cold and there was not much choice.
I would like to get a refund of 100 euros because the standard of the trip was not what
we had expected after consulting your agents.
Yours faithfully,
Samantha and James Bingle

Mount Everest
Most people know that Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.
However, there is another fact that many people don’t know: it has become one of the dirtiest mountains in the world.
Mount Everest is one of the toughest and most exciting mountains to climb on Earth. It is not the coldest or the
windiest place on Earth, but it comes close! These challenges make it one of the most attractive mountains for serious
climbers. Since 1952, over 3500 climbers have reached the top. Unfortunately, most of them have left equipment and
trash on the mountain.
In fact, trash is now one of the biggest threats to the environment on Mount Everest.
Local organizations have brought tons of trash down from the mountain. One of the most interesting projects handed
over more than a ton of tin cans, glass bottles, and old climbing tools to artists in Nepal. The artists used the trash to
create works of art. Then, they sold the art to raise money for local charities. The least expensive work of art cost $17,
and the most expensive one cost $2400.
Look at the bold phrases in the reading from exercise 1. Then write three more examples in
each column of the chart.
