- Comprehension:
The Edinburgh Festival
If you are ever in Scotland in September, you should pay a visit to the Edinburgh Festival.
It is a huge celebration of culture, where you can see comedy shows, musical performances,
plays and much more.
The first Edinburgh Festival took place in 1947. It was seen as a way to re-unite Europe
through culture, after World War 2. The festival was so successful that it attracted more
performers than there was room for. After nearly 60 years, the festival is still going strong and
growing bigger every year. The festival is a place where new talent is discovered, as the
principle is that anyone can apply to perform there. Last year's festival featured 27000
performances in 240 different venues.
There were so many performers that it would take you 5 years, 11months and
16 days to watch all of them back to back! With over 1.35 million tickets sold last year,
it is certainly the place to be. For more information about this year's festival, go to

- Comprehension:
Kidnapped
When I woke up in darkness, my head was hurting badly, and I was unable to move my
hands or feet. I could hear the sailors’ shouts and the sound of the wind and the
waves. The whole world seemed to go up, up, up, and then down again. I felt very ill, and at
first could not understand what was happening.
After a while I realized that I must be somewhere inside the ship, which was moving very
fast through the water. I’ve been kidnapped! I thought angrily. It was clear that my
uncle and the captain had planned it together. I began to feel frightened and hopeless, as I
lay there in the dark.
Some hours later, a light shone in my face. Mr. Rich, one of the ship’s officers,
stood looking down at me. He washed the cut on my head, gave me some water, and told
me kindly to go to sleep. The next time he came, I was feeling very hot and ill. He had
brought Captain Harry with him. “Now, sir, see for yourself”; said Mr. Rich. The lad’s
seriously ill. We must take him out of this unhealthy hole at once. “ That’s none of
your business,” answered the captain. You’re paid to do your job, not worry about
the boy. He’s staying down here. “I’m only paid to be an officer on this ship,”
replied Mr. Rich sharply. He looked hard at the captain. “I’m not paid, like you, to
kidnap and murder “Harry turned on him angrily. What did you say?” he cried.

Close Up 1st Preparatory (2022- 2023) P a g e 21 | 67


“What do you mean?” You understand, said Mr. Rich, looking calmly at him. You should
know me by now, Mr. Rich. I’m a hard man.
“But if you say the lad will die.” “yes, he will!” said Mr. Rich. So I was carried up into the
sunlight a few minutes later, and put in a cabin where some of the sailors were sleeping. It
was a wonderful feeling to see the daylight and to be able to talk to people again. I lay in the
cabin for several days, and after a while began to feel better.

Answer the following questions:


1.Who did he think had organized his kidnap?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Why did Mr. Rich take Captain Harry to see David?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Comprehension:
Mathew had his hair cut once a month by the same hairdresser. On those mornings, he
brought sandwiches for his lunch to eat them at the hairdresser's shop. The hairdresser's
shop was convenient because it was near Mathew's work. Mathew liked the hairdresser
because he cut Mathew's hair as he liked it and because both of them were interested in
sport. They talked a lot about football or cricket. The hairdresser was not young and he used
to work alone in the shop. One day he told Mathew that he was going to retire soon. Then
another man would have his shop. This news made Mathew feel worried, because he was
afraid that another man would cut his hair badly. But he went to the same shop the next
month. His fears proved to be quite right. The new man didn't cut Mathew's hair as he liked
it. A month later, Mathew went to the same shop and asked the hairdresser to cut his hair
very short on the right side, but to leave it as it is in the left in order to cover his ear. The
young man was very surprised when he heard this and he said that he couldn't cut his hair
like that. Mathew said "Why not?" "That's how you cut it last time."
*Answer the following questions:
1. How did Mathew's fears prove to be right?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Why did the hairdresser sell his shop?

GRAMMAR

(RELATIVE CLAUSES)

* We use Relative Clauses to give more information about the subject or the object of a
sentence. They are introduced by the following words (relative pronouns):

*Who for people. (The book is about a boy who is homeless)


*Whose to show possession. (The woman whose purse was lost was very upset.)
*Which for things. (The program which was about guide dogs was very interesting.)
*Where for places. (This is the house where we grew up.)
*When for time. (A birthday is a time when you feel a bit emotional.)

Defining Relative Clauses


#Relative Clauses can be divided into:
Non-Defining Relative Clauses

-Defining Relative Clauses are used to:


* Give important information about a person, animal, thing or place.
*We don’t use commas.
*We can use that instead of which or who in defining relative clauses.
-These are the rescue workers who/that rescued a lot of people in the flood.

-Non-Defining Relative Clauses are used to:


*Give extra, (non-essential) information which isn’t necessary to understand the meaning of
the main clause.
*We use commas to separate it from the rest of the sentence.
-His father, who is a trainer, has a great love for dogs.
*We can’t use that instead of who or which.
