Terrifying stories

1. Listen carefully to the thrilling stories happened in Cardiff Royal Infirmary:


Answer the following questions:

    >What did he see when, after feeling something was behind, he turned?
    >Why does Gareth say not to be scared?
    >Who is the lady of the portrait hanging on the walls at the hospital?
    >How has the hospital ended up?

2. Read the questions below, then watch another frightening video about evil spirits:

    >What is the name of the girl?
    >Who is she with?
    >What is the voice who is calling her, male or female?
    >What does she start doing?
    >What does she see at the end of the clip?



Ok, after so many thrilling tales you probably feel like partying on All Hallows day. Pick a costume out of the picture and give the teacher its description in writing.

Both writing pieces should have, at least, 60 words and are due on Mon, 26th october.
